David Wood is a talented speaker. His ambiguity and obfuscation are the best I've heard to date.

I can't help but think that arguing from the absurd in order to prove the existence of God, is to make God absurd? I mean really? An alien could be highly influencing our thinking this very moment? and this is the argument to help prove God? (shaking my head in disbelief).

It is truly embarrassing how Christians always resort to mocking and sarcasm when put in a tight spot that they can't talk their way out of. It's pathetic and I feel sorry for them.

Someone give David a real challenge please.

Woods sounds like he studies Dr. Craigs' debates

@chadwick0091 - LOL, you are so correct, I love listening to the apologetics try to defend Christianity, the stuff they come up with is very entertaining. Like I good fiction novel.

Again, if anything, my comment probably provided anti-Osama Abdullah sentiments. If you actually watch those debates, you would know what I'm talking about. David Wood doesn't debate too many atheist, he debates Muslims, some of which include Osama Abdullah. Hence, the contrast I pointed out. People who follow David Wood know what Im talking about. But thanks for making my comment worthy of your attention.

@Mkvine

Ignoring the first line, I get your point.

I think what I foundmore interesting than your comment was the number of thumbs up you got for it.

Perhaps you have merely provided a channel for that anti-Islamic sentiment I was talking about.

@vicachcoup

Illiteracy. Not being able to read.

Notice what I said in my first post I said "some" Islamic debates, then I even qualified that by stating which specific ones - the debates with Osama Abdullah. So I don't know what you mean by "tar[ring] the rest." In fact, as I already said, I respect many Islamic scholars and debaters, some of which are Shabir Ally, Zaid Shakir, Hamza Yusuf.

@Mkvine

Ignorance. A selective view on reality.

Saying that muslims don't have refreshing debates is a very selective take on reality.

I am sure we can both find umpteen posts on youtube to back our opinions.

Put simply - there are idiots and intellects in every camp.

If you want to see the idiots and use that to tar the rest then that is true ignorance and prejudice.

And some people prefer that to the truth.

@vicachcoup

I don't know what your talking about. I actually respect many Islamic beliefs and scholars. However, I'm not afraid to call a spade a spade. Perhaps you are tapping into the current walt disney watered down version of Islam instead of actually reading the sources. It's cool to remain ignorant right? :-)

John Loftus - no answer to the fine tuning of the universe.

No answer to the first cause.

Just lots of waffle.

For those that like waffles - enjoy
