Each of these debates is amazing to be able to watch. For me, the acting is a caricature of the speakers. Unfortunately, for us, we do not have the actual live debates, but these are still helpful to our "modern" generation in seeing the thoughts of the past. It is a testament to Christianity that "heretical" ideas do not change much. We just have new words for old concepts.

We got to get captions for these little clips. Good Stuff.

@LittleSlugger1986 People who firmly know what they believe can spout it off in any situation. That's why he could debate on cue.
-
he should have said biology instead of philosophy.
-
Were those debates real or supposed? And did people in that age debate like that? (with laughter and all?) Just wondering, cos I've always imagined Chesterton more serious. Keep it up! God bless.

@LittleSlugger1986 lmao Yeah. I heard Chesterton was incredibly absent minded. The mark of true genius!
But, I remember what Bishop Fulton Sheen said about writing things down in preparation for a lecture or a debate. He said he was giving a homily and kept looking down at his notes to make sure he covered all his points. He heard a lady in the front row whisper to another: "Glory be to God... If he can't remember it, how does he expect us to?". He never used notes of any sort after that. :)

Excellent discussion, lousy acting.

What's amazing is that he usually forgot the things he wrote down at home. He was able to debate on cue. I wish most poloticans were able to do so.

This is an excellent discussion. Chesterton reveals the strange or missing logic behind many arguments of modern materialistic philosophy. Our time would need more discussions of that quality.
