Richard Dawkins, Rowan Williams, Anthony Kenny: "Human Beings & Ultimate Origin" Debate - YouTube
This is a video of the debate between renowned Atheist Richard Dawkins and Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams.
Personally I was a little disappointed with this debate. I enjoyed it and found it interesting, but agree with many critics that it was like two old men sitting down for some "afternoon tea".
These guys are giants of their respective fields. I was hoping for some kind of epic Gandalf-Saruman battle but found none, or at least something akin to the Huxley-Wilberforce debate all those years ago.
Anyway, what did you all think of it? Please discuss the debate and even debate the topics presented within the debate (origins of consciousness, origin of life on earth, origin of the universe etc.), and see if you guys can have a more engaging and impressive debate than these two "masters".
