bsalert.com — It was a warm Saturday night in New York City as a mixed crowd of atheists and Christians converged on Calvary Baptist Church in midtown Manhattan for the first "Nightline Face-Off." And it wasn't long before temperatures began to rise inside the auditorium.The question for the debate was "Does God Exist?"

"Claiming the existence of god is a mental delusion."it's as simple as that

Those clips made it seem like the moderator of the debate was the one doing all the ass kicking. They should have more qualified people on each side and actually have a serious debate about this... someone like Dawkins/Hitchens/Price vs. the Big Dog Rev Al/Haggard so they can really have at it. That would be great television.

Debate was interesting. Had no clue that there is little human historicity about JESUS so as I was checking that idea out thru Internet and I discovered/saw this: One, that human rationality does NOT determine HIS existence or not. Two HIS plan thru HISTORY to prove HIS existence has NOT been limited to what He made but ESPECIALLY HE HAS shown His existence THRU a LONG trail of HUMANS transformed by HIM and HIS ETERNAL LOVE. And lastly we see clearly that Jesus not only existed but a huge consequence and proof of that are ALL the religions that consider him, Catholic, Muslim, Christian, etc. GOD bless you each to KNOW this and KNOW Him!

As if that has any bearing on the truth or falsity on it, TV.

I just heard clips of this on the radio, hosted by the moderator himself, and I sat straight up in bed laughing.It doesn't matter which "side" you're on. Both said some rather hilarious things.When the audience starts going at each other is when I really lost it. So much for keeping cool, eh?

Ray and Kirk were pathetic? What version of the debate were YOU watching? Dave's reply is brilliant... the whole cosmological constant "argument" is simply an "argument from ignorance": "I can't see how it can be done.. so it MUST be God!" dont you see how dumb this sounds? "I can't see that the earth is round... it MUST be flat!"

"One, that human rationality does NOT determine HIS existence or not"Of course not."Two HIS plan thru HISTORY to prove HIS existence has NOT been limited to what He made but ESPECIALLY HE HAS shown His existence THRU a LONG trail of HUMANS transformed by HIM and HIS ETERNAL LOVE"It took me a while to understand what you were saying here... "eternal love"? Go back and read the New Testament. Is this the same Jesus that killed a fig tree because it wasn't bearing fruit (in winter)?"And lastly we see clearly that Jesus not only existed but a huge consequence and proof of that are ALL the religions that consider him, Catholic, Muslim, Christian, etc"This isn't proof at all... same logic could be attributed to Santa Claus's existence.
