D'Souza: Soul blown into man 3.000 B.C.

D'Souza speculates that mankind was equipped with a soul 5.000 years ago:

Christopher Hitchens presents his argument here:

This webpage informs about the excavation of the oldest known spears. They are estimated 400.000 years old and were probably manufactured by Homo Erectus.
The webpage also includes a timeline with milestones in human development.

Good to see Dinesh has put every atheist in their place so far. Like a lion against a foal. Keep it up!! Most atheists are easy to tip over anyways, their beliefs are baseless and purely emotional. and don't get me started with those atheists who think they know science. Give them an elementary differentiation question and they embarrass themselves. Those sheeple just memorize and bleat what they hear other atheists say. they're none the wiser. hopefully they'll evolve one day :)

@wirechair

What do you say regarding his arguments, especially the "The soul was blown into man 5.000 years ago", which was discussed in this video?

there are no gods, we have no souls

D'Souza is clearly a liar. His theory is ridiculous. If a soul is breathed into man 5000 years ago, why dick around for so much time before that? I guess he's not big on 6 literal days of creation. He's a pretty slimy character.

I don't understand why people think Hitchens was such a good debater. He wasn't- he went out, gave his spiel, had some good one liners, and not much more. He either didn't understand or didn't care about the rules of debate, refuting specific points, etc- most debates with Hitchens vs someone else involve each party talking past eachother giving speeches.

D'Souza is a slimy guy- not unlike William Lane Craig. Salesmen slinging the same old hash.

Please accept our appologies for producing this clown.

And there is no mystery to why culture and civilisation evolved either, that came when we happened to discover agriculture and had time for other things than hunting and gathering. Jeez, isn't that secondary or primary school stuff?: )

[winterstellar]

@winterstellar Oh, and the aboriginees have rock paintings that are tens of thousands of years old, and the most famous cave paintings in the world in France are some 30thousand years old, so what is that christian talking about when he says "not a single cave painting"? How ignorant is he really?:)

[winterstellar]

Hehe, religious people say the weirdest thigs! The aborifinees of Australia have been in Australia most probably more than 60thousand years, did they walk around with no "souls" for 55 thousand years? Or maybe they didn't get their "souls" until they met christian missionaries a few hundred years ago? Jeez, I have to admire Hitchens for even accepting to talk to people like this guy. : )

what a moron

Nicely made and informative video m8 :) The problem with debates is that debating isn't all about revealing the truth, but about winning even if in the end you're wrong. There are also situations like these, where it helps to read/memorise vast swaths of information, sometimes you don't have enough time to construct a counter argument, or don't have time to look up facts that would have allowed one to debunk Dinesh on the spot.

Nobody had a hard time debating D'Souza. Like any other creationist, he has no real argument except his faith.
