@@DaveDennisonsecular Good point. The irony I find is that the vast majority of 'awake' people who are aware of this are 'asleep' when it comes to religious belief and god, ie they believe in it. Most 'conspiracy theorists' seem to be believers in god, while most atheists dismiss conspiracy theories in much the same way they do religion. I'm an atheist, but I'm well aware that the elite control the way the public think and act, in much the same way that religion controls its followers.

No actually he didn't - he deflected brilliantly and is dead on about religion but in no way did he undercut the theistic groundwork. Theology persists and the public face of it as maligned as it is by the natural and ethnic tyranny of of the status quo. i.e. religion, is the fundamental fuel of atheism. Atheism is bound to the superficiality that is religiosity confusing G-d with the history of 'faith' . Atheism could not exist otherwise. So the absurd notion that G-d emerges from the imagination as a creative act of ambitious albeit supremely ignorant and desperate pattern makers. CH loves ironically to refer to Spinozoa his very opposite because unlike Hitchens he does not project the template of a natural man's needs or temporality onto G-d . To do the latter would indeed have to solicit the disgust CH feels towards THAT concept of G- d.

Sado Moreno If you're super-curious about specifics, I can re-watch and document anything that makes me grind my teeth. But perhaps I can satisfy your curiosity with a general clarification. In paraphrasing what he's understood from Prof. Dawkins or Prof. Krauss, Christopher at times lost some of the precision with which scientists craft their prose. It grates slightly on the ear but still falls far ahead of being incorrect. I certainly didn't mean to suggest that Christopher's description of anything was a mere lesser of evils when compared to the factually-void scientifically semi-literate nonsense that comes from the other side.
@dgriff188 жыл бұрын
+Tim Teatro I know what you mean and agree to an extent, as a scientist myself. However, what is brilliant about Hitchens, that you don't see in William Lane Craig, Frank Turek and this Jay Richard fellow is the concession that he is not a scientist and isn't qualified to discuss these topics in depth. Watch either of Hitchens debates against Turek and you'll see that he concedes that he's not qualified. I think that concession in itself is in itself poetically scientific. RIP Hitch

Uses that status as a springboard for entering any serious academic discussion. Releases a documentary about creationism titled, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" which lives up to its name, and would actually be quite a good title for his biography. If not you could always use "Ben Stein: A Bad Joke."

Thank you for posting this. I was listening to Catholic Answers radio earlier today and one of the hosts, Al Kresta, interviewed Jay Richards about his new book on CS Lewis and scientism, and when I looked Richards up and saw that he had once debated Hitchens, I just had to check this out! I thought the Catholic Church had repudiated the Intelligent Design movement, so I found it kind of weird to hear a Discovery Institute person invited onto Catholic radio. Listening to this video, I see that Richards is just another ID shill using arguments that have already been refuted even by other Catholics like biologist Ken Miller. Catholic Answers must be growing pretty desperate to oppose "new atheists" if they're now sinking so low to start inviting people from the Discovery Institute to aid them.

Riiight up until Jay avoided the young earth creationist question and deflected on to the ontological argument which in this case is nothing more than an argument from ignorance. Anyone in their right mind should be skeptical about the capacity to educate when they're too deluded to recognize the wishful thinking of religion despite the mountain of evidence supporting evolution by natural selection. PS, you KNOW it's propaganda whenever they say "teach darwinism."

They ask Hitchens a question. Hitchens answers their questions and then they complain he isn't speaking about the topic.

I never thought about that. The Sun and the Moon are the same size in the sky and one covers the other sometimes, so that means God sent himself to Earth to be tortured to death to forgive us for torturing him to death. It all makes perfect sense now!

The summary of Jay Richards argument is: "Reality exists, therefore something akin to a very specific thing in the reality must have not been reality and then it must have done things that are found in reality so there would be a reality, otherwise reality would not be reality." Jay Richards is not worthy of the title: "Analytical Philosopher."

It always fascinates me when I watch these debates about the existence of God, just why nobody ever seems to ask about, or discuss what's the point of the *rest* of the Universe? Why is it there? If God made it and us, why is there a need for such a massive "construction?" Couldn't he have just built a place for us to live in which would've taken up far less space? :O) And, if, in the case of "Christianity," Jesus is the "only begotten Son of God," what about life on other planets? Do *they* not get any of God's attention, or their own version of the "Holy Bible/Koran," etc? Or, are they simply "hell bound," like the rest of us non-believers merely because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, let alone the wrong eon?

+Wild Heart God needed to create trillions and trillions of universes including ours to tell me not to lust at a beautiful woman's body? This is the epitome of stupid? You made a great point? But creationists will answer that with yet more ignorance? Thank you!

+anthony spencer The only thing you could do that's "worse" than lust at a beautiful woman's body is to lust at a beautiful man's body! These people are obsessed by this one, almost to the exclusion of everything else, in spite of all the other, one would imagine, more pressing things the Lord has to worry about, like whether you should have a beard, or not? :O))

"...everything that begins to exist must have a cause for its existence." This is not true, and even if it was, there is no reason to believe the cause would be a divinity.

It's called the Kalam Cosmological Argument for the existence of God. But it's really just the fallacy of special pleading.
"Believe it or not, he's walking on air, he never thought he could feel so free- Flying away on a wing and a prayer. Who could it be? Believe it or not it's just him..."
