Speaker: Sam Harris

Playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7Z5YFvo1vQ&feature=PlayList&p=7624790...

The "La Ciudad de las Ideas 2009 Re-Evolution" Festival witnessed a very exciting event, where great theologists, philosophers and thinkers debated over the eternal conflict between science and religion, reason with faith and Darwin vs The Bible. The opinions and views expressed are strong, we recommend open-mindedness for its enjoyment.

Debaters: Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Daniel Dennett (new atheists) vs. Shmuley Boteach, Dinesh D'Souza, Nassim Taleb (theists), and Robert Wright (neutral).

I truly find Sam Harris to be one of the great minds of this generation. His understanding of religions and their effect on our world is remarkable. His book "The End of Faith" changed my life literally, and I recommend that everyone read it.

As usual brilliant. Thank you Sam for being so human.

And at the end of the debate everyone laughed because it was just a practical joke: no one in the audience spoke a word of English.

Sam Harris represents the epitome of the evolution of the human mind, in regards to reason and empathy.

@99percentatheist As much as I would like to see Craig lose, I think that debate would turn out poorly. Craig is just too damn good at debating-he's wrong in almost everything he argues, but he can debate with the best of em.

<3 woman at 2:35 who is obviously gratified and stimulated to hear Sam. You see her again in Sam's second speech, again looking very happy to be hearing very sensible talk on this topic. I feel the same as you, lady!

I love this guy's way of thinking more and more with each video of him that I watch.

[99percentatheist]

Does anyone know if Sam Harris has debated William Lane Craig?
