Thanks for posting this. I really enjoy these debates.

One suggestion though: it's really useful if you post each part as a reply to the previous one. It gets tough having to search for the next part each time.

Cheers and thanks again.

My brain just drooled out of my ear and is now a puddle on the floor.

Why did it do that?

i dont know what he means, but it reminds me how i feel like my time is wasted listening to Dinesh in this clip

His premise is basically that because he cant understand something, god must have made it

Second he claims that atheists are guessing and thats a bad thing. Its better to be 100% sure, which can only be so if a god is so

Third, he claims that because early scientists were religious, it leads that religion allowed them to make discoveries. As if they had a choice of being anything else
