He is currently completing a degree in Philosophy at Birkbeck University.
He runs his blog www.adamdeen.blogspot.com
Representing the Atheist side was Dr. Peter William Atkins: Dr. Atkins is an English chemist and a fellow and professor of chemistry at Lincoln College at the University of Oxford.
He is a prolific writer of popular chemistry textbooks, including Physical Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry and Molecular Quantum Mechanics, three of the world's most popular chemistry textbooks.
Atkins' Physical Chemistry which he now co-writes with Julio de Paula of Haverford College, is in its 8th edition. In addition, Atkins' Molecular Quantum Mechanics is in its 4th.
Atkins is also the author of a number of popular science works, including Atkins' Molecules and Galileo's Finger: The Ten Great Ideas of Science.

@italiatua THE OXYGEN IN THE ROOM PROVES A RATIONAL HUMAN BEING IS CAPABLE OF KNOWING SOMETHING WITHOUT RELLYING ON THE SENSE OF SIGHT. THAT DISPROVES YOUR ENTIRE THEORY THAT ANYTHING THAT CAN'T BE DIRECTLY SEEN IS UNPROVABLE.

@GhostInTheShell29 So you actually understood there is no actual proof for electrons but repeat yourself on issue please Google these words:orbits and orbitals than follow the first link,read ABOUT author of web site,after 30 years of teaching experience he wrote:
****The short answer to this is that we don't know. In fact, it's more than that - current theory says that it is impossible to know****.

@italiatua Once again, you can prove the existence of electrons merely by sticking a fork in an outlet, or putting a plugged in toaster into the bathtub with you. You can climb a metal ladder, and use a knife to poke through the protective lining of a power line. Yes I understand by your definition of proof you will never actually physically see the electron.
So it will proof nothing to you, but at least it will make for a great headline, woman who doesn't believe in electricity shocked!

so what actually this everyday thing?
there is no need for any fantasy just prove,show,provide evidence for an actual electron.simple
Good luck and pardon for being late.

Again if we are on-line not because of electrons, Do you or anyone see or observed the fellow of electron in a electric wire?if your answer is YES than provide evidence or a single actual picture of electrons.
saying something is carrying power to our house is one another claim without proof as i showed you before.
nuclear power has nothing to do with electron you are putting to many irrelevant issues but not able to provide evidence for electrons.
everyday thing

@GhostInTheShell29 Hahaha but people have no deduction to understand about Creator,the air they breath,the water they drink,the food they eat,and the life they consume,stick a fork in electric outlet does not prove electron but electricity and the oxygen we breath does not prove electron either YOU NEED TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM WITH SOME THING DIFFERENT...

@italiatua If it wasn't for electrons? how exactly are you online? Surely something must be carrying power to your house and a signal from your house.
Is God making my posts appear on youtube?
And if neutrons and protons are a lie.... how comes nuclear power plants haven't figured out nuclear reactions aren't real and are all imaginary yet?
Face it, your trying to deny everyday things that exist around us. You don't accept this world, and replace it with your own fantasy.

@italiatua You perceive only with your eyes, not with your mind. Ironically making you blind to most of god's greater works.
Want me to prove electrons exist. Stick a fork in an electrical outlet... Yes i understand you will never actually "SEE" the electrons that seem to be shocking you. But much like I know theres oxygen in my room without ever seeing it, people have the capacity to understand things through logic and deduction, rather then relying soley on one of the five senses.

@GhostInTheShell29 ..seems to swallow up stars while spitting out high energy particles...
there is no such thing but a conjecture invented by mathematicians and saying, it ***seems to swallow***in not a knowledge but guessing without knowing and congratulation for measuring unknown.
once again please prove a single particle that human learn in their basic schooling like electrons,protons,and neutrons U can not and i know no one can prove them so i request to see the Light of ONE God.
