Only a REAL FOOL would claim there is no God! Man creates awesome skyscrapers, fake hearts, tunnels, vehicles etc.. If we are very imperfect then what more can God create THE UNIVERSE! You must accept Jesus Christ as your Savior to receive eternal rest in heaven! Simple! John 3:16 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him! Repent & accept Jesus Christ!

There. I just saved you the time of having to watch Prof. Brummett's pieces.
Wow, listening to the theist trying to pass off something such as low-carb advocates as being the same as religious fundamentalists. That's just so sad.
ya know whats funny, it used to be theists debating theists on which superstition was right. now its theists debating atheists. the theists all use the same defense to defend their "truths"lol. this is the hardest time for these guys to defend their faith. god of the gaps is bigger than ever. theyre getting backed up in a shrinking corner. it seems the "cause" of the universe is their strongest argument now. whos to say its a god? whos god? good luck theists, youre gonna need it!!! lmao

The Abrahamic religions and it's proponents are a continual threat to scholastic endeavors, human rights and world peace; yet it is the belief in a monotheistic 'god' that is the catalyst for all of the ignorance, intolerance and hate that these self-righteous idiots display and employ. The actions of delusional people would not be a relevant issue if the god belief was dispelled. If there is no fairytale, there will be no followers and fairytale apologists.
@ 5:35 Hitchens begins his opening statement in a very Wellesian manner. The idea of introducing a great story and then moving away from actually talking about the "great story". At the same time, everything he talks about after this very moment has every bit to do with that "great story", but only those carefully listening would actually GET what he talking about, and leave those that weren't listening to keep guessing about what that "great story" will be.
@guitarttimman Sorry - you're wrong. Your god does not exist. You do not worship anything but your own delusions.
None of it exists. You are fantasising. You experience what you wish to experience. That's fine, if it helps you - but keep it to yourself and don't expect the rest of us to respect you for it. We don't. You appear backward and superstitious to us.
Peddling unsupported myth as truth is not the highest form of human expression.
I like Brummet here, just given that this is a debate that will be one of Hitchens' last, you can tell that he really respects the guy--feeds his time over to him when he gets a chance, keeps it low-key and civil--it's nice to know Hitchens could still get his message out without it taxing him too much--despite the fact that I don't really like the idea of seeing a personal hero of mine being coddled, it's still feel a bit of a relief to see. This was painful to watch.
Question/Challenge to any believer? Give me one example that you have found in your self proclaimed holy text of choice could have only originated from the mind of a supreme supernatural being? That could not have originated from the mind of a man/woman?....I look forward to a response though I have little faith I shalll get one.
I am going to echo another comment I've seen by saying this is incredibly hard to watch. The loss of Hitchens is one I feel as deeply as I would a dear friend, and hearing his voice so hoarse and tired despite the fact that his fighting spirit is just as great as it's ever been and his warmth too as genuine and admirable as it's ever been, is incredibly saddening. What a beautiful mind, and human being.
Glad to see "good" Christians rejoice in the death of a man who rose up and challenged their beliefs. And they wonder why people take their "loving" stance with a grain of salt
@jahbabylon "cry me a river" as a reply to the very real possiblity of a nuclear aftermath is being brutally honest about how spiteful and self centred Hitchens was. The world is a better place without him.
Hitchens was a very spiteful and hateful neo-conservative. He said "cry me a river" when confronted by the possibility of the environmental aftermath of a nuclear war (made worse by the fact that this happened after he was diagnosed with cancer). He was also very condemning of mother Theresa's motives: after her death.
@osiris7nz Spiteful and hateful, or brutally honest? And you could say he had the courtesy to wait until after MT's death to question her motives. Also, being aligned to SOME neo-con stuff doesn't make you neo-con.

@osiris7nz Why is it made worse by having cancer? What's that got to do with anything? Grow a spine. You have a right to be insulted and offended on your deepest principles, that's what Hitchens spent his life doing. Don't be so sick-makingly feeble.
@osiris7nz if your talking about that interview with mos def then your an idiot, the last thing he wanted is for iran to have nuclear weapons...... do you know why?? cause if any country run by islamic extremests gets there hands on nuclear weapons then there may very well be a nuclear aftermath, probably in your back yard.
So when he said cry me a river he was reffering to the measures taken to prevent such a scenerio
@ Yesyou Also, if you are hoplessly ignorant as your post lets us believe then you probably did not understand one bit of this debate in the first place so go play with your toys, the intellectuals have big boy stuff to discuss now.
RIP Chris unfortunately far too few minds think as yours did and are as open about it. Thank you for the new and genious ideas that you added to athiest thought. You will be sorely missed among the free thinkers of the world.
Bensum, how am I an apologist for religion? It's clear you didn't read what I said nor its context. I was addressing ideas about 'what about Stalin, huh atheists?' not offering apologies for religion. Get less angry, man.
Atheism is not a system of government, nor do any if the societies you're thinking if adhere to strictly rational, humanistic principles. Until you're willing to recognize that Hitchens's theory of government was 'representative humanism' to put it one way, you're simply quite ignorant on this topic. Hell, probably his biggest hero among the Founders wasn't an atheist, but rather a Deist.
So stop watching things to find out why they're wrong, watch them to learn what's being said.
I'm actually interested to know if Hitchens ever lost a debate (where they took a before and after vote). In all of the Youtube videos I've found he wins, even in the most religious of settings. Anyone who knows of one he "lost", I'd be grateful if you could post a link.
If the Christian church wishes to take credit for its contributions to our culture, it must also take credit for the parts of our culture which it has utterly destroyed: the pagan temples it burned to the ground, the statues and other "false idols" it demolished, the written and oral traditions it eradicated or hijacked... Thanks to these efforts we know almost nothing about several pagan cultures of Eastern Europe prior to their conversion, sometimes by force, to Christianity.
Alright, I just finished listening to the question asked by the host right around 44:15 and it's obvious that Hitchens' opponent is not the only moron on stage. He was confused by Hitchens' statement? It was very clear...I highly doubt that any audience member misunderstood him on that or needed any clarification. What a waste...have Hitchens on stage but not ask him proper questions.
I am saddened by Christopher Hitchens death even though I disagreed with him about almost everything. He was wrong and I am so glad that every wrong will be put right. I hiave great respect for his brother Peter who is a very good writer.
@OboYarn I was there, it was barely a debate. They basically agreed with each other the entire time. At the reception afterward Mr.Brummett told my friends and I that it was hard for him to say anything against what Hitch was saying, because he agreed with him on most of the points. That and the question the debate was based on was terrible. So I don't think either won really.
Incredible man...thought provoking, inquisitive, articulate. I am deeply saddened to have heard of his passing. Regardless of whether one believes in religion or not, one is inspired to pursue more knowledge and to question............one can only admire this man.
i owe this man most of my courage in standing up against totalitarianism, especially when it is coming from religion. he inspired me to think independently and to be critical always. he is irreplaceable. may his ideas be immortalized and continue to inspire people.
Mr. Hitchens, you always referred back to Socrates, and you truly followed in his footsteps:
Fighting to make your voice heard, arguing for your points...
Right u[p to the end--Socrates has his one final dialogue on his deathbed, and you wrote your last article for Vanity Fair on yours, and fought the good fight, as we see here, to the end.
RIP Mr. Hitchens--You inspired me enough that I will never pray to your image and greedily demand more, you've given so much
@TheLordOfHost1 -- You people can't stop your nonsense - can you? You always have to threaten and try to unerve others, but you won't suceed! Go away into your liitle tiny corner and worry about yourself. We don't need idiots like you, because you see, we have a brain to do our own thinking, you poor sheep.
@TheLordOfHost1 You complacent bastard. Don't lay your ridiculous imaginings on those around you. There will be no judgement, except in your futile wish-thinking.
I take some grim satisfaction in knowing that when your time comes, you will rot like any dead meat, unless they roast you. The disappointment for me is that you will never know how wrong you are - unless of course you open your mind before you get tipped into your grave.
Worms will cover us both and we will both stink the same!! I do not believe we came from nothing! Nor to i believe our solar system created itself! Where there is a design there must be a designer! You are the biggest youtube coward! Don't act all hard behind your laptop!
@TheLordOfHost1 You silly boy. Coward? Hard? Speak sensibly, or not at all.
There is no design, so there cannot be a designer. The design is in your imagination.
What you believe is irrelevant. What matters is what is proven to be correct. No-one has claimed that the solar system created itself - your comment illustrates your ignorance.
@TheLordOfHost1 You expose your intellectual weakness. One does not attempt to prove negatives. It is a logical nonsense to try. Prove that there are no fairies. Prove that Russell's teapot does not exist.
YOU are the one who makes the claim that a god exists - the burden is upon YOU to prove what YOU say.
If your god exists, you should have no trouble in showing hard evidence - not just dogma, or your opinions, but tangible, testable, repeatable EVIDENCE.
@TheHatCollection -- Well said - Hitchens gave not only all his knowledge but did it in such a remarkable way. I have never listened to anyone near his calibre.
@rdickinsondickinson big surprise! lol i have nothing against drinking per say, but its quite obvious to me that at the bottom of every bottle and drunken binge is where he came up with all his hatred for the creator of the universe. How can a man that was given so much, be so ungrateful? Taking advantage of the innocent and misinformed for personal gain is purely satanic.
Hevy99 makes me barf! He has gathered attention here with nothing, but drivel like, "U'll NEVER find true peace without FAITH!" come on?? translation: you will never find peace without taking the word of someone else blindly and without scrutinizing their objectives. If you did it wouldn't be faith, hence according to him peace will not be found.
nice try! Aside from not owing you any explanation whatsoever, GOD isnt going anywhere regardless of ur worthless opinion. Take it up with HIM! Not only is HE the 1 ur struggling with (besides yourself) U'll NEVER find true peace without FAITH! Stay in conflict with yourself, and your CREATOR. No consequence 2me! I wouldnt trade places with u 4all the tea in China! LOL Its ur soul that weighs in the balance. Are u prepared to sacrifice it 4 absolutely nothing? JUST GETS DUMBER! +++
jajajajajajajajajajaja thats prety good! The fact of the matter is, we are all dead without Salvation. Personally speaking, i have no worries about this life or the next much less any fear. How about you? Thats the REAL meat and potatoes isnt it! :) +++
@rdickinsondickinson maybe so but atheist are dead all the way round! lol HEY GENIUS! hate to burst ur tiny little bubble but, IRON MAIDEN BELIEVES IN GOD!!!! LMFAO! +++
THIS GUY IS AN EXPERT ON RHETORIC ILL DEFINITIVELY GIVE HIM THAT! OH BROTHER! GLAD I BROUGHT MY FISHING WADERS! LMFAO! actually quite humorous! you can fast forward and save urself a lot of time because regardless of where u stop in any of these debates, its always the same pointless drivel again and again that all boils down to absolutely NOTHING! Making a career out of willing followers of nothing like sheep 2 slaughter is the amazing thing! Luciferianism at its best! +++
@ScientificExploits only goes to proves there are countless numbers of bone heads in the world, that buy into the concept that believing in absolutely NOTHING is somehow rational. What else is new? All stems from ignorance regardless of how you slice and dice it. The main theme is always "religion." I wish i had a nickle for every time these goof balls use the word. They NEVER mention FAITH. Maybe because they have no concept? YA "THINK?" wow! Rocket Science! jajajajajajaja +++
never said i didnt have evidence. Have an over abundance of it in my personal life. Its a shame you dont. Hmm, u think FEAR and DOUBT might have something to do with it? Both OPPOSITES of FAITH. naaa, ur a smart atheist! (wait! is that an oxymoron? like "atheist-chaplain"? lol ) evidently you have ALL the angles covered! ALL EXCEPT THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO ALL THE EVIDENCE YOU'LL EVER NEED! :) +++ like the detective that looks in all the wrong places and wonders why he finds no evidence.
@hevy99 Most of the stuff Hitchens has to say simply resonates with things that I already came to conclusions to on my own. He added some knowledge to it and helped me better articulate my arguments. Religion is what motivated my atheism...not Christopher Hitchens.
MINNIE PEARL DIED for our sins..."Lay off my femoral artery," I told the femoral artery club board members who didn't know me from the late V.M. Rabolu, author of "Hercolubus or Red Planet"; who didn't care for my off-handed brand of femoral protectionism; who didn't enjoy the monkeyshines of comely women after contested hand amputation contests in Mecca during pick-my-pocket days.
Gay homosexuals are abundant along the Atlantic & Pacific coastlines. Flamboyant homosexual rituals have been embraced by Hollywood. One day San Francisco will be the most normal of places. Indeed, by mid-century, it will be THE city whereat normal people can let their hair down sans fear of gay-attack. Don't give up on men. Lesbians need to give normal sexuality another chance.
Christ' Hitchens approaches his hollow death w/a self-imposed/self-perpetuating ignorance that allows for the consumption of barbaric mendicants and the shooting of metabolically-destructive rays into his inflamed thoracic cavity. His naïveté is monumental. How asinine can one man be? But, he plays true to his script of bait & switch. He baits the public with his feigned religious hatred, and soothes the pseudo-intelligentsia on corporate T.V. w/his bosom pal's shenanigans in the men's room.
@normalkuriboh Barry Brummett said something along the lines of people who take fitness seriously are fundamentalist, I'm not gonna watch the whole think again to see where though.
Barry Brummett was way out of his league here. It would have been much more interesting listening to Christopher Hitchens for an hour and a half. I would say "God bless the man", but it would only be a figure of speech and perhaps one he may not appreciate! LOL
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
See Christopher Hitchens career ending debate at shockawenow . n e t As he fails miserably and gets crushed in debate by Dr. William Lane Craig. Hitchens did so poorly the audience was laughing at his lame arguments.
@lhurien What's the matter? You don't like seeing your "god", Hitchens, have his arguments exposed as childish? Even the most unbiased observer described Hitchens as being spanked and sent to bed without his supper in the Craig debate. A true embarrassment for this God-Hater. Hitchens "facts" come from biased sources. This is why when he writes a book he uses no endnotes or footnotes. Even he knows his sources are full of shit but he spreads them anyway.
@YesYou123333 Craig is a douche bag, his arguments aren't sound, but you can't see it because you're not smart enough. Craig " oh yes there is a santa, it says so in this book" . What a great argument.You don't understand logic and reason. You're just another deluded xtian asshole who believes the fairtales of bronze age wandering desert goat herders.
@YesYou12 New to Logic? No shame in that. We all had to start somewhere. Try to start with your label of Mr. Hitchens as “God-Hater”. To come anywhere close to being accurate that would have had to be “gods-hater” – had Mr. Hitchens not determined the evidence and reasoning for the existence of such entities, respectively, non existent and absurd. To him, thus, gods don't exist. And are, thus, by him not hated, nor feared, loved, etc. That's the god(s)botherer's bailiwick.
@fctchk Your point is moot. Hitchens has admitted on several occasions he wouldn't love God EVEN if it WERE proven true to his satisfaction. Therefore, yes, Hitchens IS a God-Hater. A position I'm sure he NOW regrets.
@YesYou123333 - Really? GOd is going to punish Hitch for denying his existence or not willing to submit? If God exists, sounds rather petty if you ask me. Doesn't God love him? God can't forgive?
@socalcraigster no worries Socal cuz we all know (as I replied to Yes) that IF we are wrong, unlikely as that may be, we all know Hitch will be reigning in Heaven once he disproves God to himself and takes over.
@YesYou123333 but since God with all likelihood doesn't exist and nor does Heaven, YOU won't have to fear the day of your passing and having to answer to Hitch.
@YesYou123333 one unrelated point, to be rendered 'moot' actually means "to be debatable" NOT "to be resolved, or undebatable, doubtful or purely academic" as people often use it. Look it up. Unfortunately, due to the fact people have used it incorrectly for so long it has come to mean both debatable and resolved simultaneously. Sad butchering of language.
@YesYou123333 He said on several occasions that it's not even a matter of if it exists or not, he constantly said that he is very happy that it does not have any factual proof to it because he did not want to live under a totalitarian 'Big Brother'. There's nothing wrong with that, who in the world would want to do that? Also, to hate something would be to suggest it exists. He hated religion and what it does to people.
@YesYou123333 If you were under such a ruler that gave you your life and all. Would you really be able to distinguish such a ruler as anything but perfect? People praise dictators all the time and throughout history because they don't know any better. It's no different than in this situation. If you've been under the rule of your 'god' for all your life, obviously. Even since 'creation'. You wouldn't be able to distinguish anything else. So, even without -
@YesYou123333 Regarding how sickening I find that comment, which basically means as Hitchens put it that you can be convicted of thought crime, your point is entirely misguided and contradicting. Which brings up a similar problem. If you can be convicted of thought crime.. would you really ever be capable of thinking any differently of your ruler?
@YesYou123333 How disgustingly quick you are to give up your freedoms. Sickening. Especially for a ruler who preaches to promote slavery and demote women's rights. Absolutely inhuman.
@TheTroubadoursMusic Yes, you atheists have such a good track record. A record of killing and starving to death millions upon millions of people. Never hear Hitchens speak about that. Hitchens would rather live in a society developed by Christian thought and bad-mouth it. What a hypocrite.
@YesYou123333 Hitchens does speak about that all the time you idiot.
I can't take you seriously. There are good theists but you aren't one of them. Giving up your freedoms and humanity so easily and so freely means I don't really want to have a discussion with you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@TheTroubadoursMusic Show me one video where he speaks about atheism causing the deaths of millions of people. The only time he mentions it is when he TRIES to compare it to a relationship with God. If Hitchens is so fond of atheism, why didn't he live in a country run by atheism? We didn't see atheists migrating to Stalinist Russia? No, they would rather live in a society developed by Christians. Even, atheists know when they have a good thing. They're not THAT stupid.
@YesYou123333 You just lumped atheists together with stalinists? Wow. You're a fucking asshole. You think I'm going to waste my time educating you? Just fucking google it. I'm done here.
@YesYou123333 It's hard to migrate to a country that no longer exists politically. I should know, I just got back from vacation in Arabia. How do you explain the relative wealth, human rights, and educational superiority that heavily atheist countries like Sweden and Norway to heavily christian country like the USA?
@polymath7 Word. It's exactly these 2 names which popup immediately in my head whenever I have to witness foul and funky trash talkers writing down their comments.
shockofgod Hey Shock, I have been meaning to apologize to you. I'm sorry about the other night when that massive, smelly, load of soft poo covered your face. I really wasn't aiming to hit you. I heard that you got nailed while watching WLC's weak arguments being methodically dismantled by Christopher Hitchens. Cheer up mate as I'm sure Mr Craig will lick is sore anus in the attempt to have it heal again, give it time. Anyway, I do kinda feel sorry that you smell like a lump of sh...
@shockofgod Hey man, if you wanna have faith in crazy bullshit thats cool, thats AWESOME, in fact. But, don't try to base your stupid beliefs in facts
HL Mencken has a great line about this issue of tolerance of religion: We resepect a man's religion like we respect his belief that his children are smart and his wife beautiful.
I've noticed that every debate that Hitch has with educators like Brummet they have and use the same relative arguments...they respond with in a structured academic manner...they never serve a debate with color propositions like Hitch. Just some of my thoughts as I was watch...do you concurr?
If it wasn't for religion we wouldn't have the Ten Commandments, a movie I really enjoyed. I didn't rush out and convert, not because I was only 10 at the time, but because I could see religion was just a cool made up story. I could also separated the good stuff in the movie from the bullshit. Good movies don't need religion, and the same goes for: Painting, Music, Architecture, Sculpture, Sport, Literature, Poetry, any other art. Historically, most of the above has been suppressed by religion.
"But this present window of opportunity, during which a truly peaceful and interdependent world order might be built, will not be open for long. Already there are powerful forces at work that threaten to destroy all of our hopes and efforts to erect an enduring structure of global interdependence."
---David Rockefeller, speaking at the Business Council for the United Nations, September 14, 1994
ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G. Ranganathan (B.A. theology/biology)
SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)
EINSTEIN CONFIRMED that space and time are just as physical as matter. That's why space and time can be altered by gravity, and space produces particles. Einstein's equations show that the universe couldn’t be eternal. It had a beginning. Einstein believed, because of science, in the existence of God behind the origin and order of the universe. He didn't believe in a personal God like Christians do, but he did believe science pointed to the existence of an all powerful and intelligent Creator
THE SCIENTIFIC CASE AGAINST ATHEISM: Please read this Internet article of mine published in Russia's English Pravda. It will be a real eye-opener for all who think belief in a Creator is merely subjective blind faith. Also read my article, LIFE ON MARS NO SURPRISE (In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which spewed life-containing dirt and rocks (meteors) into outer space. Mars may literally have millions of tons of Earth soil)
NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How did species survive if their vital structures, organs, reproductive system were still evolving? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic and biological similarities between species.
DAWKINS, HITCHENS, AND HAWKING REFUSE TO DEBATE with creationists who are SCIENTISTS, such as the scientists at The Institute for Creation Research. Dawkins and his friends only debate non-scientist creationists. Read articles by scientists supporting creation at The Institute for Creation Research site. Read analysis from creation scientists about the latest news on fossils, genetics, astronomy, etc. that you won't read in the main stream media. Visit the Institute for Creation Research site.
EXPLAINING HOW AN AIRPLANE WORKS doesn't mean no one made the airplane. Explaining how life and the universe work don’t mean there was no Maker behind them. Natural laws explain how the order in the universe works, but mere undirected natural laws can't explain the origin of that order. Once you have a complete and living cell, the genetic code/mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells, but how did the cell originate when no directing code or mechanisms existed in nature?
WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science is knowledge based on observation. No one observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by macro-evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith science supports. Natural laws explain how an airplane or a cell works, but undirected natural laws cannot bring about either. Once there's a complete cell, the code/mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells, but how did the cell originate when there was no directing code.
SCIENTISTS HAVE NEVER CREATED LIFE. And, even if they do it won't be by chance but by intelligent design. By genetically engineering already existing forms of life, scientists have produced new forms of life, but they did not produce these new life forms from non-living matter. Even in synthetic life, scientists design and build DNA from scratch, through intelligent design, and then insert their man-made DNA into an already living cell. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
THE ODDS of the sequence of molecules in a cell coming together by chance are similar to the odds of magnetic letters randomly bonding together in a sequence to form all the words and sentences in a dictionary. Without the right sequence, a cell's molecules won't work. Amino acids can come by chance but not proteins. Without DNA there can be no proteins and vice versa. Gradually won't do. It's all at once or not at all for a cell's survival. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
NATURAL SELECTION DOESN'T PRODUCE ANYTHING. It can only "select" from what is produced that has survival value. If a variation occurs that helps a species survive, that survival is called being "selected." That's all it is. There's no conscious selection by nature. It's a passive process. Natural selection is a figure of speech. The term itself is a tautology. Natural selection only operates once there is life and reproduction, not before. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM.
NATURAL SELECTION IS NO BLIND WATCHMAKER because it can only "select," not produce or arrange. If a variation survives, that's called being "selected." Natural selection operates only once there is life and reproduction, not before, so it couldn't have been involved in life's origins. A partially-evolved cell (an oxymoron) would quickly disintegrate. It couldn't wait ("survive") millions of years for chance to complete it and then make it alive! Read: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM
ARE FOSSILS REALLY MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD? Popular Internet article examines assumptions concerning fossil deposition as well as built-in assumptions involved in modern radiometric dating (not used for dating fossils but other rocks), and arguments from starlight and time. Discusses lack of true transitional forms in the fossil record and lack of "age" sequence of the fossil layers. Discussion of mixed species (i.e. dinosaur, reptile, mammal fossils in the same stratum).
IMAGINE A FISH WITH PART FINS, part feet with the fins evolving (transitioning) into feet. What survival benefit would there be? The fish couldn't use its fins or its feet, and there are no fossils showing such a creature ever existed. They only exist on automobile bumper stickers! There are no true transitional forms, either living or fossilized. Evolutionists realize this fact! Read my Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!
APES ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE IN HOW THEY WALK, just as humans are quite comfortable in how they walk. Even a slight change in the position of a muscle or bone, for either, would be excruciatingly painful and would not be an advantage for survival. There's no hard evidence that humans evolved from ape-like creatures anymore than there's hard evidence that apes evolved from four-legged-pawed dog-like creatures.

The Abrahamic religions and it's proponents are a continual threat to scholastic endeavors, human rights and world peace; yet it is the belief in a monotheistic 'god' that is the catalyst for all of the ignorance, intolerance and hate that these self-righteous idiots display and employ. The actions of delusional people would not be a relevant issue if the god belief was dispelled. If there is no fairytale, there will be no followers and fairytale apologists.

@ 5:35 Hitchens begins his opening statement in a very Wellesian manner. The idea of introducing a great story and then moving away from actually talking about the "great story". At the same time, everything he talks about after this very moment has every bit to do with that "great story", but only those carefully listening would actually GET what he talking about, and leave those that weren't listening to keep guessing about what that "great story" will be.

Hitchens was a very spiteful and hateful neo-conservative. He said "cry me a river" when confronted by the possibility of the environmental aftermath of a nuclear war (made worse by the fact that this happened after he was diagnosed with cancer). He was also very condemning of mother Theresa's motives: after her death.

Atheism is not a system of government, nor do any if the societies you're thinking if adhere to strictly rational, humanistic principles. Until you're willing to recognize that Hitchens's theory of government was 'representative humanism' to put it one way, you're simply quite ignorant on this topic. Hell, probably his biggest hero among the Founders wasn't an atheist, but rather a Deist.
So stop watching things to find out why they're wrong, watch them to learn what's being said.

If the Christian church wishes to take credit for its contributions to our culture, it must also take credit for the parts of our culture which it has utterly destroyed: the pagan temples it burned to the ground, the statues and other "false idols" it demolished, the written and oral traditions it eradicated or hijacked... Thanks to these efforts we know almost nothing about several pagan cultures of Eastern Europe prior to their conversion, sometimes by force, to Christianity.

To him, thus, gods don't exist. And are, thus, by him not hated, nor feared, loved, etc. That's the god(s)botherer's bailiwick.

If Hitchens is so fond of atheism, why didn't he live in a country run by atheism? We didn't see atheists migrating to Stalinist Russia? No, they would rather live in a society developed by Christians. Even, atheists know when they have a good thing. They're not THAT stupid.

@YesYou123333 You just lumped atheists together with stalinists? Wow. You're a fucking asshole. You think I'm going to waste my time educating you? Just fucking google it. I'm done here.

@YesYou123333 It's hard to migrate to a country that no longer exists politically. I should know, I just got back from vacation in Arabia. How do you explain the relative wealth, human rights, and educational superiority that heavily atheist countries like Sweden and Norway to heavily christian country like the USA?

shockofgod Hey Shock, I have been meaning to apologize to you. I'm sorry about the other night when that massive, smelly, load of soft poo covered your face. I really wasn't aiming to hit you. I heard that you got nailed while watching WLC's weak arguments being methodically dismantled by Christopher Hitchens. Cheer up mate as I'm sure Mr Craig will lick is sore anus in the attempt to have it heal again, give it time. Anyway, I do kinda feel sorry that you smell like a lump of sh...

HL Mencken has a great line about this issue of tolerance of religion: We resepect a man's religion like we respect his belief that his children are smart and his wife beautiful.

I've noticed that every debate that Hitch has with educators like Brummet they have and use the same relative arguments...they respond with in a structured academic manner...they never serve a debate with color propositions like Hitch. Just some of my thoughts as I was watch...do you concurr?

If it wasn't for religion we wouldn't have the Ten Commandments, a movie I really enjoyed. I didn't rush out and convert, not because I was only 10 at the time, but because I could see religion was just a cool made up story. I could also separated the good stuff in the movie from the bullshit. Good movies don't need religion, and the same goes for: Painting, Music, Architecture, Sculpture, Sport, Literature, Poetry, any other art. Historically, most of the above has been suppressed by religion.

ALTHOUGH I'M A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN (Baptist), I no longer believe that the Bible teaches eternal torment or suffering. The Bible teaches eternal punishment, but it's not eternal torment. In my popular Internet article, TRADITIONAL DOCTRINE OF HELL EVOLVED FROM GREEK ROOTS, I explain how and why teaching of eternal torment entered early into Christianity and how Scriptures have been misinterpreted and taken out of context to support that teaching. ~Babu G.

SCIENCE SHOWS THAT THE UNIVERSE could not have sustained itself eternally because of entropy (even in an open system). Einstein confirmed that space, matter, and time had a beginning! That beginning had to be supernatural because natural laws have no ability to bring the universe into existence from nothing. The supernatural cannot be proved by science but science points to a supernatural intelligence for the origin and order of the universe ~ HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM (Article)

EINSTEIN CONFIRMED that space and time are just as physical as matter. That's why space and time can be altered by gravity, and space produces particles. Einstein's equations show that the universe couldn’t be eternal. It had a beginning. Einstein believed, because of science, in the existence of God behind the origin and order of the universe. He didn't believe in a personal God like Christians do, but he did believe science pointed to the existence of an all powerful and intelligent Creator

THE SCIENTIFIC CASE AGAINST ATHEISM: Please read this Internet article of mine published in Russia's English Pravda. It will be a real eye-opener for all who think belief in a Creator is merely subjective blind faith. Also read my article, LIFE ON MARS NO SURPRISE (In the Earth's past there was powerful volcanic activity which spewed life-containing dirt and rocks (meteors) into outer space.

NATURAL LIMITS TO EVOLUTION: Only evolution within "kinds" is genetically possible (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, etc.), but not evolution across "kinds" (i.e. from worm to human). How did species survive if their vital structures, organs, reproductive system were still evolving? Read my Pravda Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS! I discuss: Punctuated Equilibrium, "Junk DNA," genetics, mutations, natural selection, fossils, genetic and biological similarities between species.

DAWKINS, HITCHENS, AND HAWKING REFUSE TO DEBATE with creationists who are SCIENTISTS, such as the scientists at The Institute for Creation Research. Dawkins and his friends only debate non-scientist creationists. Read articles by scientists supporting creation at The Institute for Creation Research site. Read analysis from creation scientists about the latest news on fossils, genetics, astronomy, etc. that you won't read in the main stream media. Visit the Institute for Creation Research site.

EXPLAINING HOW AN AIRPLANE WORKS doesn't mean no one made the airplane. Explaining how life and the universe work don’t mean there was no Maker behind them. Natural laws explain how the order in the universe works, but mere undirected natural laws can't explain the origin of that order. Once you have a complete and living cell, the genetic code/mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells, but how did the cell originate when no directing code or mechanisms existed in nature?

WHAT IS SCIENCE? Science is knowledge based on observation. No one observed the universe coming by chance or by design, by creation or by macro-evolution. These are positions of faith. The issue is which faith science supports. Natural laws explain how an airplane or a cell works, but undirected natural laws cannot bring about either. Once there's a complete cell, the code/mechanisms exist to direct the formation of more cells, but how did the cell originate when there was no directing code.

SCIENTISTS HAVE NEVER CREATED LIFE. And, even if they do it won't be by chance but by intelligent design. By genetically engineering already existing forms of life, scientists have produced new forms of life, but they did not produce these new life forms from non-living matter. Even in synthetic life, scientists design and build DNA from scratch, through intelligent design, and then insert their man-made DNA into an already living cell.

THE ODDS of the sequence of molecules in a cell coming together by chance are similar to the odds of magnetic letters randomly bonding together in a sequence to form all the words and sentences in a dictionary. Without the right sequence, a cell's molecules won't work. Amino acids can come by chance but not proteins. Without DNA there can be no proteins and vice versa. Gradually won't do. It's all at once or not at all for a cell's survival. Read my article: HOW FORENSIC SCIENCE REFUTES ATHEISM

NATURAL SELECTION DOESN'T PRODUCE ANYTHING. It can only "select" from what is produced that has survival value. If a variation occurs that helps a species survive, that survival is called being "selected." That's all it is. There's no conscious selection by nature. It's a passive process. Natural selection is a figure of speech. The term itself is a tautology. Natural selection only operates once there is life and reproduction, not before.

NATURAL SELECTION IS NO BLIND WATCHMAKER because it can only "select," not produce or arrange. If a variation survives, that's called being "selected." Natural selection operates only once there is life and reproduction, not before, so it couldn't have been involved in life's origins. A partially-evolved cell (an oxymoron) would quickly disintegrate. It couldn't wait ("survive") millions of years for chance to complete it and then make it alive!

ARE FOSSILS REALLY MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD? Popular Internet article examines assumptions concerning fossil deposition as well as built-in assumptions involved in modern radiometric dating (not used for dating fossils but other rocks), and arguments from starlight and time. Discusses lack of true transitional forms in the fossil record and lack of "age" sequence of the fossil layers.

IMAGINE A FISH WITH PART FINS, part feet with the fins evolving (transitioning) into feet. What survival benefit would there be? The fish couldn't use its fins or its feet, and there are no fossils showing such a creature ever existed. They only exist on automobile bumper stickers! There are no true transitional forms, either living or fossilized. Evolutionists realize this fact! Read my Internet article: WAR AMONG EVOLUTIONISTS!

APES ARE QUITE COMFORTABLE IN HOW THEY WALK, just as humans are quite comfortable in how they walk. Even a slight change in the position of a muscle or bone, for either, would be excruciatingly painful and would not be an advantage for survival. There's no hard evidence that humans evolved from ape-like creatures anymore than there's hard evidence that apes evolved from four-legged-pawed dog-like creatures.
