And to believe that religion gives us our morality, please. Empathy, sympathy, agony, happiness, guilt, and all other feelings, are natural emotions throughout the human species and most others for that matter. These actions cause us to do both charitable and horrible acts, not religion. Can we not see animals in nature display agony over lost cubs or calves? So what are we to believe, some of our emotions are natural to us and some given to us by god? C'mon! Getting back to that logic idea.

I find it funny how Boteach, throws logic right out the window. He actually says Hitchens cannot argue against religion if hes not scientific. The point of science is to "study" the world around us, not to make assumptions on false beliefs. Science is "evolving", in the sense that it is commonly understood. Logic is what we must get ourselves grounded in. Once we have enough facts, then it becomes scientific fact and goes in the books friends. Until then we don't know and neither do you.

Yet again, Logic and reason triumphs over dillusion and faith.

This is supposed to be a debate, Boteach there is spouting a hell of a lot of ad hominem.

49min: yes i suppose there would be difficulty reconciling the time needed for beneficial mutations with the age of life, if the earth was 6000 yrs old. 3.7-4 billion years is MORE than enough time for naturally selected mutation occuring simultaneously among all organisms on the planet even before the developments of DNA or sex to produce complexity. Arguing that horses can't be made quickly preciselly ignores the foundation of evoultion. YOU FOOL.

ugh i hate when people quote mine. At 30min., Darwin was talking about species, using the word race in a loose sense. I love the barrage of ad hominem attacks backed with nothing but appeals to emotion and other such crap arguments. Eugenics and darwinism are not related, eugenics is driven by unimportant physical appearances, and is primarilly asthetic. Nice try Schmuley. p.s. Life doesn't have to look like fragile green plants to flourish. First law of Nature: Life will find a way.

Another Hitchens win. Remember, you'll always win an argument when you have rationality on your side, as does he.

So God exists because Christopher Hitchens hates Channukah? |
