Atkins's face when Dr. Craig was listing his arguments about the ability of science to account for everything was absolutely priceless.

"Science is omnipotent" - Atkins

I never realized that "science" was a sentient being.Even less so did I realize that "science" was omnipotent.How can I meet "science" and ask science the deep questions of life?

"I can definitely understand why people like you desperately want to believe in God" - Atkins

Since Atkin's arguments for Atheism failed to hold up against the rebuttals of Craig, it is safe to say that Atkins is desperately wanting to believe in Atheism and Craig is grounded in theology

I just think that maybe Atkins wasn't a good enough of a contestant. I want to hear from the Atheist's "savior" Dawkins

@211bEanS112 I guess we will never know since Dawkins refuses to debate him. Probably because he was ashamed in himself after he debated John Lennox.

[211bEanS112]

To be fair the pro-athiesm side of this debate has been represented poorly all through. Atkins is clearly not up the level of Craigs understanding despite his magnificent vocabulary. Dawkins would have at least made this a contest.

@Falcondick69 You definitely need to read and learn a bit more then.

@niriop calling names? i dare say that is all the atheist has when it comes to claiming God doesn't exist, without namecalling they got nothing

[niriop]

@Falcondick69 Retarded troll is retarded

[Falcondick69]

@niriop so because atheists don't liek craigs arguments therefore he is a liar? right...well i don't like how richard dawkins doesn't believe in God therefore all thing she says arre wrong.

[emailpobox666]

@niriop I guess since theists have no problem worshiping an imaginary god  they (@mollkatless) Find it easy to transfer this blind worship to people like WLC

[niriop]

@mollkatless "dawkins is so frightened of Craig" No, he just realises you can never win against a good rhetorican; debate rarely solves issues, it only serves as intellectual fodder. Dawkins doesn't want to waste his time; Common Sense Atheism has a whole series dedicated to showing how Craig manipulates the rules of debate to serve his ego. "he cowers really" Ah, so intellectual debate is about making people fear and distrust each other, now I've got you
