Welcome to Gaia! ::

Christopher Hitchens is a well known Atheist who is tough to beat in a debate. Except this time he challenges a worthy opponent, William Craig, Who by many have said "He scared god, into fellow atheists."

I wish Christopher did better but, dang he can't win all debates! still some very good points and questions raised.

I'm religous, but if someone like William Craig is counted as have "won" over Hitchens .... I did not even manage to look through Craig's first 20 minutes, it was too boring and even not correct:
I mean, The cuelty and such in the world is vital points in many deductions whether God exist or not.
Those things must be taken into accountance when answering wether God exist or not!
....... But then, debates are rarely true attempts at finding the answer, it is usually just a question who can come up with most variations on the argument that support the debater's opinion.

Also, "nothing that supports the theory that God doesn't exist"?
Well, if one ignores all the cruelty done in the name of God, and if one ignores the philosophical loopholes and problems that arises with a true philosophical omnipotence, there is of course nothing that supports atheism.
.... And that is ecactly what Craig starts with, ignoring those points.

But, if one would admit two things, that God is not philosophically truly omnipotent, and that God perhaps is not quite the all-loving that God is said to be, then the arguments for God's existance virtually remains, while several arguments against God simply vanishes.
However, several religous types would not agree on either, let alone both of those things.
