Dinesh D’Souza, Christian and best-selling author, faced off against Tufts professor, author, and atheist Daniel Dennett in a debate on the existence of god.
Was God created by humans? Daniel Dennett and Dinesh D’Souza will offer up two different answers to that question in the Cabot Auditorium during a debate hosted by the Freethought Society.
In addition to being a philosophy professor at Tufts, Dennett is “one of the most well-known atheists around,” according to Freethought Society President Pat Andriola. Dennett will be arguing in favor of the resolution, which states that God is a man-made invention.
D’Souza, a conservative Christian and best-selling author, will oppose it.
Provost Jamshed Bharucha will moderate the debate.
“Each debater, starting with Professor Dennett, is going to get 20 to 25 minutes to open up his case,” Andriola said. Following these statements, they will get two five-minute rebuttals each.
Finally, there will be a question and answer session during which the debaters will field inquiries from the audience.

Why is he screaming?
he wants to be impactful, and he knows he doesn't have substance so he's going for volume.
Exactly. I often find myself doing this too but then I never pretend to know that much as opposed to the theists I argue against that are certain they know everything, and my frustration causes me to to adopt an angrier tone.
Now take D'Souza – his claim : "Before time, there was no time". How do you prove that? Up is down, black is white, and 'is' is 'is not'.
I'd be happy for him to show this paradox like quantum physicists have shown 'here' may also be 'there' – but where's HIS evidence?
Hmm, I don't think Occumb's Razor was meant to suggest simplicity regardless of all other aspects of two propositions
"where did this intelligence come from"
… that's called a loaded question, douchebag
D'Souza does know that there are only 4 known "forces" in existence, and the weak force isn't really that necessary for much.
Oh, and he doesn't seam to understand that there is a difference between human laws and laws of science.
That is one angry hobbit.
That is offensive to hobbits.
SO true.
"That is offensive to hobbits."
True, I apologize.
The guy defending religion disappoints me. That age-old argument about the universe supposedly being fine-tuned for life, which, I've heard, isn't even true.
…and?
Does Dinesh think if he yells this nonsense at us that it will somehow become true?
The Bill O'Reilly school of debate
Oh damn, he's just mixing all the logical fallacies creationists always do. I was expecting challenge. All I got is stupidity.
Fucking gobshite.
@JMLizardKing1971 No, dimwit. Those are fake votebot Dislikes from a religiotard.
It's funny how conservative christians also support darwinian social contracts.
D'Souza : professional idiot.
Does D'Souza think theism and deism are one in the same ?
No….dimwit. Christians hate this video because D'Souza is a moron, and Dennetts' logic and intellegence cause people to question religious dogma. A program on Youtube can be used to vote up or down for videos without watching them.
You mean Dinesh gets owned…..again, like taking candy from a baby.
