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).

You had a good run religion, but now the internet is here to destroy you.

I admire this man, he completely obliterates the silly stereotypes given to atheistic thinkers. He had his facts straight, he knows both sides of the story, he made no forceful claims, and most of all he was calm and civil.

So as you can see, just by this small statement, God can get a lot more complex than just deciding to believe in something because there is no other explanation for
