No Hitch here, move on

Anyone who starts his argument with the "WHO HERE IS FROM X??" to solicit a lot of cheering and whooping, should automatically lose the debate. They also deserve a fucking knitting needle to the eye.

Seems pretty clear to me Turek is confused but doesn't realise it.

@96Trixstan I'm an atheist and I listened to Turek's opening argument. Ergo you are wrong.

7:05 "Once there was no time".

Really Turek? When was this again? "Once?"

So would this "Once" happen to be a moment "In Time"???

Hm, so there was a point in time when there was no time? Then wouldn't that "point in time when there was no time" by definition not exist since there was no "time" at which point "time" didn't exist?

But okay, if you want to based your God on a logical contradiction like that, be my guest.

@jq747 its to make a connection to the people shit head.

The top comment just shows how set upon their belief athiests are. They won't even listen to the apposing arguement.

@pheonixking52

We can all be excellent debaters and win every argument if we are prepared to lie to people who simply don't know any better and fear science too much to confirm if what they are being told is correct.

Now let me say that again.. Turek lied throughout this debate, and I can demonstrate that to your satisfaction.

Do you doubt it? Would you like me to go through it with you and explain where he is lying. If you confirm those lies yourself what would you think of Turek?

[MumblingMickey]

@pheonixking52 Almost everything he said was either a misquote... or untrue..

Would you like me to point out where he deliberately lied to you? and explain WHY they are not only lies...but how I know, that he knew, they were lies before uttering them?

I'm guessing you'd rather I didn't do that... but I will anyway as an example below this comment.

The man is a cur!
