  1. I won't be staying up all night here in the UK to listen as I wouldn't be fit for church in the morning, but look forward to catching it another time!

  2. Thanks heaps for doing this.

    The debate starts at 3.30pm on Sunday afternoon in New Zealand so we will definately be sticking around for the long haul without fear of sleep loss!

  3. This should be fun, in a pass-the-popcorn sort of way. I really can't get too excited about it from a debate standpoint, though: Hitchens has no idea how to frame an argument. I wonder why people on his side keep asking him to do these debates...?

  4. It'd be great to see Dawkins and/or Harris debate Craig.

  5. Does anyone really expect any new arguments from the atheist side?

  6. Basically the entire Atheist argument is:

    I don't like God.
    Therefore, God doesn't exist.

    May the Lord bless Dr. Craig in His debate. Soli Deo Gloria!
