Dinesh D'Souza and Christopher Hitchens go at it again at the 2008 Freedom Fest as the "Main Event".

FreedomFest is an annual festival where "free minds meet" to celebrate "great books, great ideas, and great thinkers" in an open-minded society. It is independent, non-partisan, and not affiliated with any organization or think tank.

Founded and produced by Mark Skousen, since 2002, FreedomFest invites the "best and the brightest" from around the world to talk, strategize, socialize, and celebrate liberty. FreedomFest is open to all and is purely egalitarian, where speakers, attendees, and exhibitors are treated as equals.

Christopher Hitchens (born 1949) is an author, journalist and literary critic. Currently living in Washington, D.C., he has been a columnist at Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, World Affairs, The Nation, Slate, Free Inquiry, and a variety of other media outlets. Hitchens is also a political observer, whose books — the latest being "God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" — have made him a staple of talk shows and lecture circuits.

In 2009 Hitchens was listed by Forbes magazine as one of the "25 most influential liberals in U.S. media." The same article noted, though, that he would "likely be aghast to find himself on this list" and that he "styles himself a radical", not a liberal.

@MasterAtheistic You take it to the gutter again. Bibble is that a spelling error or intentional.I had a thought today; Hitchens focuses his arguments on things you can argue about. The truth they can't argue against they stay away from. Many phenomena of the world is unexplainable;it tends to show us many options we are not willing to accept.So we deny it.You will notice I didn't disrespect anyone with my comments.Unlike many

ha ha !! there you go again .. you're great x i can see you truly believe in yourself and for that i respect you, we are each to our own opinion ' let he who is a sinner stay a sinner'

@mamamonster2011 There are none so blind as those who will not see. Gob is peace is he? Tell that to the millions murdered in his various silly names you moron. I just watched Ghandi. There's another innocent victim you theists can add to your ever so long list of those killed in the name of superstitious bullshit. There is NO antiChrist as there was NO christ you fuckwit. I am not satanic as there is no Satan either. Evil is in mens' hearts and it is brought to fruition by ignorance & religion.

@MrDunsapy (cont.) What you're asking for of RNA (and using as a faulty piece of evidence for Creationism) is impossible, because what you seem to think happens doesn't happen in nature to begin with. I recommend you go watch a few episodes from SciShow here on YouTube, they just started covering the basics of this topic; maybe it'll help you better understand what really goes on in your body since you didn't pay attention in school.

@MrDunsapy With the Billions upon Quadrillions of star systems in existence that we can even conceive of, those odds are actually quite good. You're talking about hundreds of thousands, even millions of planets capable of supporting life.

As for your bit about RNA, you are a bit uneducated. "Synthesis of RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme—RNA polymerase—using DNA as a template, a process known as transcription." - Wiki What this means is that RNA doesn't make itself, enzymes do it.

Jesus was a common sense atheist.

1_The chance of even a simple protein molecule forming, the 'evolutionists' acknowledge it to be only one in 10113 (1 followed by 113 zeros). They also say that 1* 50 (1 followed by 50 zeros ) is considered impossible. Also in a cell the proteins are needed in the production of RNA, but RNA is need in the production of proteins. And researchers have never located a piece of RNA that can replicate itself from scratch.
