Geisler-14

Kurtz-0

*ding ding* i think we have a winner

[JimDeferio]

This was truly a lopsided debate. Paul Kurtz had no evidence or sound and consistent philosophical argument to back up his "skepticism" but Norman Geisler was scholarly in all his answers and rebuttals and his refutation of Kutz's smoke screen philosophy.

I wish I had Norman Geisler for a prof instead of going to SUNY.

2 weeks ago at SUNY Buffalo students told me that society determines morality so therefore slavery was justified in the 1700's and 1800's. Majority rules according to them.

I think Geisler missed the point - school don't teach secular humanism, they teach science, but it just so happens than secular humanists believe in science

@JimDeferio - Someone who`s objective and doesn`t need a comic book to live life. Yet there are alot of lights out there and none of them have the Life of Light John 1:4-5. Unregenerate mankind are always looking for the jumper cables that try to bring life to corpse philosophy I Cor.1:18. You got it right.

those who think geisler beat kurtz - did u watch the debate..? Geisler doesnt know what he's talking about - makes me feel ashamed and embarrassed to be american... the way Geisler dances around the issues and brings in totally false and nonsensical analogies. only a moron would consider he won. the moderator is one of the creepiest people ive seen on tv.

JimDeferio -- the bible justifies slavery. are christians going to claim they played a major role in its overthrow ? gimme a break

Brilliant debate, I hope some of my comments haven't been to offensive

[kcleirbaut]

Jim, their logic and history is wrong. Majority rules?  If the majority felt that all Jews should be expatriated, incarcerated, or killed, does that become law of the land. Of course not. Besides, I think they would be hard pressed to say that the majority of Americans were pro slavery in that period

@thinge123

wtf? are you crazy?

[SIMKINETICS]

@NxtGretzky88 Maybe a more accurate description of what we know is ideas about things & events that we judge as probably accurate enough to to be relied on for our decisions. We know what our senses have taught us to be reliable from observed repetition. All else is speculation. We can predict the future, but with limited accuracy.

@JimDeferio

also, i notice that you think my statement is contradictory...were you going to elaborate or just make this statement and expect me to figure it out myself, and then either correct or rescind it based on my own analysis?
