[_ Old Earth _] Ray Comfort vs Dawkins

[John]

Comfort not only apologizes for the illustration, he also offers Richard Dawkins $20,000 to debate him on the existence of God. You won't believe what Dawkins says...

I posted that video here before. I am subscribed to him on Youtube. But it looks like his video career is on hiatus unfortunately.

 

[Crying Rock]

Excuse the newbie here.

This probably won't be the last time I post previously posted material.

I'll get up to speed, eventually.

Heh heh, you did nothing wrong. I post the same video,pic,post here and there all the time when appropriate. It gets the message across. :yes

 

[Crying Rock]

Roger that. ;)

I wonder what comfort would do if I said I'd debate him here for free on the validity of ID. So far, only one prominent creationist has taken that challenge, and he did it incognito.

Go for it, i would love to see it

 

[Barbarian]

Sounds good. Maybe we can lure him in, if enough creationists ask. Will you?

Sent him an e-mail. Let's see what happens.

 

[John]

This would be so awesome to watch. Who knows. :rolling

 

[John]

Any luck yet?

 

[Barbarian]

Got a response.

Hi (name):

Thank you for your inquiry, however, due to Ray's schedule, he is not available.

God Bless,

That's pretty much how it goes. Think of it from their point of view. What have they got to gain by getting drawn into an open debate? What have they got to lose?

 

[John]

Try Rays blog.

He's said "no." I'm not going to ask him again, but if someone else wants to, he might realize there's interest here.

 

[John]

I'll see if i can persuade him i talk to him often.

 

[Barbarian]

Why not suggest we do it in the debate forum, so he can be sure that a mess of scientists won't gang up on him?
