Key points that are quite interesting about this debate:
The second key point-
conclusion-
The debate takes few turns. Arguments change direction moving from historical refutes to the origin of cosmos and lasting effects of the big bang. Arguably, it could be said that the believers put a huge amount of effort trying to convince the audience of a little voice in the back of their mind telling them right from wrong, can not be explained by Darwinian terms. Hitchens insists no explanation is not answer for existence of God neither. Few interesting points that came up.
Hitchens counteracts the famous argument made of the natural beauty of the world and its complexity to a creator by drawing a very bleak picture of universe of collapsing stars, inhabitable planets, incredible amount of instinct species and so forth. He then famously says, " Some creator is it ladies and gentlemen?".
Quite interesting debate...
The first key point-
Challenges put forward by Hitchens. Propose a right action committed or a morally right statement made by a believer that could not have been made or performed or uttered by a non-believer.
To believe, you have to believe the following: The origin of human beings have started roughly 100 thousand years ago. Francis Collins argues that the origin of our species is closer to roughly 250 thousand years ago. To believe, ladies and gentlemen, you have to say to yourselves, for 95 years God stood still and watched our species with folded arms and roughly five thousand years ago decided to intervene. D'Souza counters this argument with a rather week statement. He states while true, human development did not start until the birth of religion. What he means by human development encompasses everything from technology, and a change from a death centric world to a life centric world.
