http://www.facebook.com/ScienceReason ...The True Core Of The Jesus Myth - Christopher Hitchens @ FreedomFest (Part 1).---Please subscribe to Science & Reason:• http://www.youtube.com/FFreeThinker• http://www.youtube.com/Best0fScience• http://www.youtube.com/ScienceTV---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.http://www.freedomfest.com/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.http://www.hitchensweb.com/.

Andy Williams Says:
May 30, 2012 - Stop fiddling with yourself and life might just have a greater clarity .
tanaats Says:
May 30, 2012 - Indeed. Zeus loves us!
Andy Williams Says:
May 30, 2012 - The most exciting thing about God,s exsistence is simply that it,s true and every atheist past present and future are all dead wrong, God is still ruler yet and theres nothing but nothing you can do to change that ultimate reality and fact.
Andy Williams Says:
May 30, 2012 - NO
Andy Williams Says:
May 30, 2012 - The truth is a beautiful thing, and all your feeble and misguided satan influenced attemps to embaress it are weaker than urine,keep trying atheist fools!
tanaats Says:
May 30, 2012 - You sound just like Tom Cruise discussing Scientology.
tanaats Says:
May 30, 2012 - Weaker than urine?
clipsryan Says:
May 30, 2012 - I prefer theories over complete falsehoods and a hypothesis that has zero evidence. You didn't adress the rest of my comment so it seems I've met another theist not willing to put in equal dialogue. Let me know if this is right so I can avoid wasting my time.
clipsryan Says:
May 30, 2012 - Who keeps given satan all this power. I thought he was suppose to be punished. God's getting extremely lazy.

smegma300 Says:
May 30, 2012 - No, the statistical studies I've seen in the past were performed by physicists and I remember one debate I attended years ago from a communication scientist. In fact, I remember Carl Saga discussing the unfavorable odds as he devoted much of his last years searching for intelligent life outside of earth. Sure the creationists latch on to this data, but that doesn't demean the value. To be honest, I really don't care if the atheists here choose to ignore and discount the statistical data.
smegma300 Says:
May 30, 2012 - In reality, it's always possible that the earth has simply defied the poor odds. I just gave my opinion and didn't challenge anyone so if you wish to dispute the statistical probability, then the burden of proof is in your hands to show that the odds are more favorable then I've seen. You're arguing but I haven't seen you provide any figures that you believe are more accurate.
smegma300 Says:
May 30, 2012 - Bottom line, you're challenging my statement and wish me to do your research for you. Don't you think that you may have prematurely decided to argue this point since you apparently don't know the common statistical probability here?
smegma300 Says:
May 30, 2012 - By he way oldtinear, I hope my responses don't sound disrespectful or combative. I just don't have the will or time to dig up old footnotes to attempt to prove this point. I'm just trying to give an honest opinion and it's up to you if you wish to confirm or ignore my content.
smegma300 Says:
May 31, 2012 - If you're comfortable with that then great. To me, that's a long way from the complex life forms that exist on earth today. I agree that the possibility is certainly there, but I'm still not overwhelmingly convinced.
ponchred Says:
May 31, 2012 - Yes, very mature. Yet another Christian devoid of intellect.
ponchred Says:
May 31, 2012 - Is it very fair to say something controversial and not expand with information rather than expecting the audient to go and flounder through what must be an overwhelming amount of different data and viewpoints on the subject? Just tell him. Personally I don't care about the numbers. It's obvious that there's been enough time for life to evolve because it has. It's as simple as that for me. How do I know it's evolved? Because we've seen evolution happen in a number of examples.
ponchred Says:
May 31, 2012 - Further to this, one can say almost anything with statistics. And the people who say 40 billion years is not enough time for life to have evolved are really just having an opinion. It's hardly a fact because no one really knows.
smegma300 Says:
May 31, 2012 - I simply stated my inclinations and never argued any of the points you have addressed me with. If you disagree, it's fine with me. Since I perceive that you're dying to partake in a critical discussion with me, I'll ask you a question. It's apparent that you are enamored with biology over the other sciences, so why does this particular science appear to be so intensely closed minded to discoveries that fall outside of the "accepted" criteria?
ponchred Says:
May 31, 2012 - And you know my opinion on this one is irrelevant as we've established that I suspect we were seeded by space debris. Of all the likely scenarios this one is most logical given the evidence.
smegma300 Says:
May 31, 2012 - ? For example, evolution has plenty of supporting evidence, but in cases such as the Skull 1470 excavation, where dating methods such as potassium argon did not return the expected results, the data was purposely manipulated to meet the accepted date range. I've seen several cases where this occurred. Why do you think this happens when the magnitude of other supporting data would make this unnecessary?
ponchred Says:
May 31, 2012 - It's not fact. You can't even spell so I'd be reticent to think you have the education to realise this. You probably don't understand the meaning of the term 'fact'. If you disagree with this, simply tell us what makes this a 'fact'?
smegma300 Says:
May 31, 2012 - A simple Google search will yield numerous results. The time consuming task would be to eliminate any data linked to a scientist or mathematician that believes in God of which you'll immediately disregard. If I had challenged someone here with the data, then I would be compelled to do this research, but I didn't. I was challenged by the group here so it seems to me that the burden of proof falls on the challengers.
ponchred Says:
May 30, 2012 - If it were an accident then your suggestion that said accident has 'guided' interactions is devoid of logic. Accidents happen, they don't guide things. Once again, you're treating the accident as if it's a deity with a consciousness. Secondly, the fashion is not as wondrous or precise as you claim. People like you that pretend there's a God also like to pretend that this is some sort of perfect world, but it's far from perfect and doesn't make sense in the context of there being a 'creator'.
