Hitchens vs. Craig, Biola University

  • Christopher Hitchens vs. Dr. William Lane Craig: Does God Exist?
  • April 4, 2009, Biola University

    [Dr. Craig J. Hazen introduces moderator Hugh Hewitt, who outlines the rules for the debate and introduces Hitchens and Craig]

    CRAIG: Good evening. I am very excited to be participating in this debate tonight. Jan and I used to sit in those very bleachers right over there watching our son John run up and down this court as a forward on the Biola Eagles, and so I feel like I'm playing on the home court tonight. And I want to commend Mr. Hitchens for his willingness to come into this den of lambs and to defend his views tonight. On the other hand, if I know Biola students, I suspect that a good many of you, when you came in tonight, said to yourself, "I'm going to check my own views at the door and I'm going to assess the arguments as objectively as possible." I welcome that challenge. You see, the question of God's existence is of interest not only to religion but also to philosophy. Now, Mr. Hitchens has made it clear that he despises and disdains religion but presumably he is not so contemptuous of philosophy. Therefore, as a professional philosopher, I'm going to approach tonight's question philosophically, from the standpoint of reason and argument. I'm convinced that there are better arguments for theism than for atheism. So in tonight's debate I'm going to defend two basic contentions: First, that there's no good argument that atheism is true and secondly that there are good arguments that theism is true. Now, notice carefully the circumscribed limits of those contentions. We're not here tonight to debate the social impact of religion, or Old Testament ethics, or biblical inerrancy, all interesting and important topics, no doubt, but not the subject of tonight's debate which is the existence of God. Consider then my first contention that there's no good argument that atheism is true. Atheists have tried for centuries to disprove the existence of God but no one's ever been able to come up with a successful argument. So, rather than attack straw men at this point I'll just wait to hear Mr. Hitchens present his arguments against God's existence and then I'll respond to them in my next speech. In the meantime let's turn to my second main contention that there are good arguments that theism is true. On your program insert I outline some of those arguments. Number one, the cosmological argument: The question of why anything at all exists is the most profound question of philosophy. The philosopher Derek Parfit says, "No question is more sublime than why there is a universe, why there is anything rather than nothing." Typically atheists have answered this question by saying that the universe is just eternal and uncaused. But there are good reasons, both philosophically and scientifically, to think that the universe began to exist. Philosophically, the idea of an infinite past seems absurd. Just think about it: If the universe never began to exist, that means that the number of past events in the history of the universe is infinite. But mathematicians recognize that the existence of an actually infinite number of things leads to self-contradictions. For example, what is infinity minus infinity? Well, mathematically you get self-contradictory answers. This shows that infinity is just an idea in your mind, not something that exists in reality. David Hilbert, perhaps the greatest mathematician of the twentieth century, wrote, "The infinite is nowhere to be found in reality. It neither exists in nature, nor provides a legitimate basis for rational thought. The role that remains for the infinite to play is solely that of an idea." But that entails that since past events are not just ideas but are real, the number of past events must be finite, therefore the series of past events can't go back forever. Rather, the universe must have begun to exist. This conclusion has been confirmed by remarkable discoveries in astronomy and astrophysics. In one of the most startling developments of modern science we now have pretty strong evidence that the universe is not eternal in the past but had an absolute beginning about thirteen billion years ago in a cataclysmic event known as the Big Bang. What makes the Big Bang so startling is that it represents the origin of the universe from literally nothing, for all matter and energy, even physical space and time themselves, came into being at the Big Bang. As the physicist P. C. W. Davies explains, "The coming into being of the universe, as discussed in modern science, is not just a matter of imposing some sort of organization upon a previous incoherent state but literally the coming into being of all physical things from nothing." Now, this puts the atheist in a very awkward position. As Anthony Kenny of Oxford University urges, "A proponent of the Big Bang theory, at least if he is an atheist, must believe that the universe came from nothing and by nothing." But surely that doesn't make sense. Out of nothing, nothing comes. So why does the universe exist, instead of just nothing, where did it come from? There must have been a cause which brought the universe into being. Now as the cause of space and time, this being must be an uncaused, timeless, spaceless, immaterial being of unfathomable power. Moreover, it must be personal as well. Why? Because the cause must be beyond space and time, therefore it cannot be physical or material. Now there are only two kinds of things that fit that description: either an abstract object, like numbers, or else a personal mind. But abstract objects can't cause anything. Therefore it follows that the cause of the universe is a transcendent, intelligent mind. Thus the cosmological argument gives us a personal creator of the universe. Two, the teleological argument: In recent decades scientists have been stunned by the discovery that the initial conditions of the Big Bang were fine tuned for the existence of intelligent life with a precision and delicacy that literally defied human comprehension. This fine tuning is of two sorts: first, when the laws of nature are expressed as mathematical equations, you find appearing in them certain constants like the gravitational constant. These constants are not determined by the laws of nature. The laws of nature are consistent with a wide range of values for these constants. Second, in addition to these constants there are certain arbitrary quantities put in as initial conditions on which the laws of nature operate. For example, the amount of entropy or the balance between matter and antimatter in the universe. Now all of these constants and quantities fall into an extraordinarily narrow range of life-permitting values. Were these constants or quantities to be altered by less than a hair's breath, the balance would be destroyed and life would not exist. To give just one example: The atomic weak force, if it were altered by as little as one part out of 10 to the 100th power would not have permitted a life-permitting universe. Now there are three possible explanations of this remarkable fine tuning: physical necessity, chance, or design. Now it can't be due to physical necessity because the constants and quantities are independent of the laws of nature. In fact string theory predicts that there are around 10 to the 500th power different possible universes consistent with nature's laws. So could the fine tuning be due to chance? Well, the problem with this alternative is that the odds against the fine tunings occurring by accident are so incomprehensibly great that they cannot be reasonably faced. The probability that all the constants and quantities would fall by chance alone into the infinitesimal life-permitting range is vanishingly small. We now know that life-prohibiting universes are vastly more probable than any life-permitting universe. So if the universe were the product of chance, the odds are overwhelming that it would be life-prohibiting. In order to rescue the alternative of chance, its proponents have therefore been forced to resort to a radical metaphysical hypothesis. Namely, that there exists an infinite number of randomly ordered, undetectable universes composing a sort of world ensemble or multiverse of which our universe is but a part. Somewhere in this infinite world ensemble finely tuned universes will appear by chance alone and we happen to be one such world. Now wholly apart from the fact that there's no independent evidence that such a world ensemble even exists, the hypothesis faces a devastating objection, namely, if our universe is just a random member of an infinite world ensemble then it is overwhelmingly more probably that we should be observing a much different universe than what we in fact observe. Roger Penrose has calculated that it is inconceivably more probable that our solar system should suddenly form through a random collision of particles than that a finely tuned universe should exist. Penrose calls it "utter chicken feed" by comparison. So, if our universe were just a random member of a world ensemble it is inconceivably more probable we should be observing an orderly region no larger than our solar system. Observable universes like those are simply much more plenteous in the world ensemble than finely tuned worlds like ours and therefore ought to be observed by us. Since we do not have such observations that fact strongly disconfirms the multiverse hypothesis. On atheism, at least, then it is highly probable that there is no world ensemble. The fine tuning of the universe is therefore plausibly due neither to physical necessity nor to chance. It therefore follows logically that the best explanation is design. Thus the teleological argument gives us an intelligent designer of the cosmos. Three, the moral argument: If God does not exist then objective moral values do not exist. By objective moral values I mean moral values which are valid and binding whether we believe in them or not. Many theists and atheists agree that if God does not exist then moral values are not objective in this way. Michael Ruse, a noted philosopher of science, explains, "The position of the modern evolutionist is that morality is a biological adaptation, no less than our hands and feet and teeth. Considered as a rationally justifiable set of claims about an objective something, ethics is illusory. I appreciate that when someone says, 'love thy neighbor as thyself,' they think they are referring above and beyond themselves. Nevertheless, such reference is truly without foundation. Morality is just an aid to survival and reproduction and any deeper meaning is illusory." Like Professor Ruse I just don't see any reason to think that in the absence of God, the morality which has emerged among these imperfectly evolved primates we call Homo sapiens is objective, and here Mr. Hitchens seems to agree with me. He says moral values are just innate predispositions, ingrained into us by evolution. Such predispositions, he says, are inevitable for any animal endowed with social instincts. On the atheistic view then an action like rape is not socially advantageous and so in the course of human development has become taboo, but that does absolutely nothing to prove that rape is really morally wrong. On the atheistic view there's nothing really wrong with raping someone. But the problem is that objective values do exist and deep down we all know it. In moral experience we apprehend a realm of objective moral goods and evils. Actions like rape, cruelty, and child abuse aren't just socially unacceptable behavior, they're moral abominations. Some things, at least, are really wrong. Similarly love, equality, and self-sacrifice are really good. But then it follows logically and necessarily that God exists. Number four, the resurrection of Jesus: The historical person Jesus of Nazareth was a remarkable individual. Historians have reached something of a consensus that the historical Jesus came on the scene with an unprecedented sense of divine authority, the authority to stand and speak in God's place. He claimed that in Himself the Kingdom of God had come and as visible demonstrations of this fact He carried out a ministry of miracle working and exorcisms. But the supreme confirmation of His claim was His resurrection from the dead. If Jesus did rise from the dead than it would seem that we have a divine miracle on our hands and thus evidence for the existence of God. Now most people probably think that the resurrection of Jesus is something you just believe in, by faith or not. But there are actually three established facts recognized by the majority of New Testament historians today which I believe are best explained by the resurrection of Jesus. Fact number one: On the Sunday after His crucifixion, Jesus' tomb was discovered empty by a group of His women followers. According to Jakob Kremer, an Austrian specialist, by far most scholars hold firmly to the reliability of the biblical statements about the empty tomb. Fact number two: On separate occasions different individuals in groups experienced appearances of Jesus alive after his death. According to the prominent New Testament critic Gerd Lüdemann, it may be taken as historically certain that the disciples had experiences after Jesus' death in which Jesus appeared to them as the risen Christ. These appearances were witnessed not only by believers but also by unbelievers, skeptics, and even enemies. Fact number three: The original disciples suddenly came to believe in the resurrection of Jesus despite having every predisposition to the contrary. Jews had no belief in a dying, much less rising Messiah. And Jewish beliefs about the afterlife prohibited anyone's rising from the dead before the resurrection at the end of the world. Nevertheless the original disciples came to believe so strongly that God had raised Jesus from the dead that they were willing to die for the truth of that belief. N. T. Wright, an eminent New Testament scholar concludes, "That is why as a historian I cannot explain the rise of early Chritianity unless Jesus rose again leaving an empty tomb behind him." Attempts to explain away these three great facts like the disciples stole the body or Jesus wasn't really dead have been universally rejected by contemporary scholarship. The simple fact is that there just is no plausible, naturalistic explanation of these facts. And therefore it seems to me the Christian is amply justified in believing that Jesus rose from the dead and was who he claimed to be. But that entails that God exists. Finally, number five, the immediate experience of God: This isn't really an argument for God's existence, rather it's the claim that you can know that God exists wholly apart from argument, simply by immediately experiencing him. Philosophers call beliefs like these "properly basic beliefs." They aren't based on other beliefs rather they're part of the foundation of a person's system of beliefs. Other properly basic beliefs include the belief in the reality of the external world, the belief in the existence of the past and the presence of other minds like your own. When you think about it none of these beliefs can be proved. But, although these sorts of beliefs are basic for us that doesn't mean they're arbitrary. Rather they're grounded in the sense that they're formed in the context of certain experiences. In the experiential context of seeing and hearing and feeling things I naturally form the belief in a world of physical objects. And thus my beliefs are not arbitrary but appropriately grounded in experience. They're not merely basic but properly basic. In the same way, belief in God is, for those who know him, a properly basic belief grounded in our experience of God. Now, if this is right there's a danger that arguments for God's existence could actually distract your attention from God himself. If you're sincerely seeking God then God will make his existence evident to you. We mustn't so concentrate on the external arguments that we fail to hear the inner voice of God speaking to our own hearts. For those who listen, God becomes an immediate reality in their lives. So, in conclusion then we've seen five good arguments to think that God exists. If Mr. Hitchens wants us to believe instead that God does not exist, then he must first tear down all five of the arguments that I presented and then in their place erect a case of his own to prove that God does not exist. Unless and until he does that I think that theism is the more plausible world view.

    HITCHENS: Well, am I audible? Am I audible to all? Yes. Well, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters, comrades, friends, thanks for coming out, as Senator Larry Craig actually did say at his press conference. Thank you, Mr. Hewitt and Dr. Craig for being among the very many, very, very many Christians who have so generously and hospitably and warmly taken me up on the challenge I issued when I started my little book tour and welcomed me to your places to have this most important of all discussions. I can't express my gratitude enough. And thanks to the very nice young ladies who I ran into at The Elephant Bar this afternoon where I hadn't expected a posse of Biola students to be on staff, but where I thought, "God, they're everywhere now!" Now, what I have discovered in voyaging around this country and others in this debate and debating with Hindus, with Muslims, with Jews, with Christians of all stripes, is that the arguments are all essentially the same for belief in the supernatural, for belief in faith, for belief in God, but that there are very interesting and noteworthy discrepancies between them and one that I want to call attention to at the beginning of this evening is between those like my friend Doug Wilson with whom I've now done a book of argument about Christian apologetics, who would call himself a presuppositionalist, in other words, for whom really it's only necessary to discover the workings of God's will in the cosmos and to assume that the truth of Christianity is already proven and what are called—they include Dr. Craig with great honor and respect in this—the evidentialists. Now, I want to begin by saying that this distinction strikes me first as a very charming distinction and second as false, or perhaps as a distinction without a difference. Well, why do I say charming? Because I think it's rather sweet that people of faith also think they ought to have some evidence and I think it's progress of a kind. After all, if we had been having this debate in the mid-nineteenth century, Professor Craig or his equivalent would have known little or probably nothing about the laws of physics and biology, maybe even less than I know now, which is, to say, quite a lot in it's way. And they would have grounded themselves, or he would have grounded himself, on faith, on Scripture, on revelation, on the prospect of salvation, on the means of grace, and the hope of glory and perhaps on Paley's natural theology. Paley, who had the same rooms, or had had the same rooms later occupied by Charles Darwin in Cambridge with its watchmaker theory of design that I know I don't have to expound to you but which briefly suggests that if an aborigine is walking along a beach and finds a gold watch ticking he knows not what it's for or where it came from or who made it but he knows it's not a rock, he knows it's not a vegetable, he knows it must have had a designer. The Paley analogy held for most Christians for many years because they were willing to make the assumption that we were mechanisms and that, therefore, there must be a watchmaker. But now that it's been—here's where the presuppositionalist-versus-evidentialist dichotomy begins to kick in—now it's been rather painstakingly and elaborately demonstrated to the satisfaction of most people, I don't want to just use arguments from authority, but it's not very much contested any more, that we are not designed as creatures, but that we evolved by a rather laborious combination of random mutation and natural selection into the species that we are today. It is, of course, open to the faithful to say that all this was, now that they come to know it, now that it becomes available to everybody, now that they think about it, and now that they've stopped opposing it or trying ban it, then they can say, "Ah, actually, on second thought the evolution was all part of the design." Well, as you will recognize, ladies and gentlemen, there are some arguments I can't be expected to refute or rebut because there's no way around that argument. I mean, if everything, including evolution, which isn't a design, is nonetheless part of a divine design than all the advantage goes to the person who's willing to believe that. That cannot be disproved but it does seem to be a very poor, very weak argument because the test of a good argument is that it is falsifiable not that it's unfalsifiable. So this I would therefore—this tactic, or this style of argument, which we've had some evidence of this evening, I would rebaptize or when I dare say rechristen it as retrospective evidentialism. In other words everything can, in due time, if you have enough faith, be made to fit. And you too are all quite free to believe that a sentient creator deliberately, consciously put himself—a being, put himself or herself or itself to the trouble of going through huge epochs of birth and death of species over eons of time in which 99%—in the course of which at least 99.9% of all species, all life forms, ever to have appeared on earth have become extinct, as we nearly did as a species ourselves. I invite you to look up the very alarming and beautiful and brilliant account by the National Geographic's coordinator of the genome project. (By the way you should send in your little sample from the inside of you cheek and have your African ancestry traced. It's absolutely fascinating to follow the mitochondreal DNA that we all have in common and that we have in common with other species, other primates, and other life forms and find out where in Africa you came from.) But there came a time, probably about 180,000 years ago, when, due to a terrible climatic event, probably in Indonesia, an appalling global warming crisis occurred and the estimate is that the number of humans in Africa went down to between forty and thirty thousand. This close, this close—think about fine tuning—this close to joining every other species that had gone extinct. And that's our Exodus story is that somehow we don't know how because it's not written in any Scripture, it's not told in any book, it's not part of any superstitious narrative but somehow we escaped from Africa to cooler latitudes was made, but that's how close it was. You have to be able to imagine that all this mass extinction and death and randomness is the will of a being. You are absolutely free to believe that if you wish. And all of this should happen so that one very imperfect race of evolved primates should have the opportunity to become Christians or to turn up at this gym tonight, that all of that was done with us in view. It's a curious kind of solipsism, it's a curious kind of self-centeredness. I was always brought up to believe that Christians were modest and humble, they comported themselves with due humility. This, there's a certain arrogance to this assumption all of this—all of this extraordinary development was all about us and we were the intended and the desired result and everything else was in the discard. The tremendous wastefulness of it, the tremendous cruelty of it, the tremendous caprice of it, the tremendous tinkering and incompetence of it, never mind at least we're here and we can be people of faith. It doesn't work me, I have to simply say that and I think there may be questions of psychology involved in this as well. Believe it if you can, I can't stop you. Believe it if you like, you're welcome. It's obviously impossible, as I said before, to disprove and it equally obviously helps you to believe it if, as we all are, you're in the happy position of knowing the outcome, in other words we are here. But there's a fallacy lurking in there somewhere too, is there not? Now it's often said, it was said tonight, and Dr. Craig said it in print, that atheists think they can prove the nonexistence of God. This, in fact, very slightly but crucially misrepresents what we've always said. There's nothing new about the New Atheists, it's just we're recent, there's nothing particularly—Dr. Victor Stenger, a great scientist, has written a book called The Failed Hypothesis, which he says he thinks that science can now license the claim that there definitely is no God, but he's unique in that, and I think very bold and courageous. Here's what we argue: We argue quite simply that there's no plausible or convincing reason, certainly no evidential one, to believe that there is such an entity, and that all observable phenomena, including the cosmological one to which I'm coming, are explicable without the hypothesis. You don't need the assumption. And this objection itself, our school falls into at least two, perhaps three sections. There's no such thing, no such word though there should be, as "adeism" or as being an "adeist" but there if was one I would say that's what I was. I don't believe that we are here as the result of a design or that by making the appropriate propitiations and adopting the appropriate postures and following the appropriate rituals we can overcome death I don't believe that and for a priori reasons don't. If there was such a force, which I cannot prove by definition that there was not, if there was an entity that was responsible for the beginning of the cosmos, and that also happened to be busily engineering the very laborious product—production of life on our little planet, it still wouldn't prove that this entity cared about us, answered prayers, cared what church we went to, or whether we went to one at all, cared who we had sex with or in what position or by what means, cared what we ate or on what day, cared whether we lived or died. There's no reason at all why this entity isn't completely indifferent to us. That you cannot get from deism to theism except by a series of extraordinarily generous, to yourself, assumptions. The deist has all his work still ahead of him to show that it leads to revelation, to redemption, to salvation or to suspensions of the natural order in which hitherto you'd be putting all of your faith—all your evidence is on scientific and natural evidence or, why not, for a change of pace for a change of taste say, "Yes, but sometimes this same natural order, which is so miraculous in observation, no question about it, is so impressive in its favoring the conditions for life in some ways, but its randomly suspended when miracles are required." So with caprice and contempt these laws turn out to be not so important after all as long as the truth of religion can be proved by their being rendered inoperative. This is having it both ways in the most promiscuous and exorbitant manner, in my submission. Bear in mind also that these are not precisely the differences, between Dr. Craig and myself I mean, morally or intellectually equivalent claims. After all, Dr. Craig, to win this argument, has to believe and prove to certainty. He's not just saying there might be a God because he has to say that there must be one otherwise we couldn't be here and there couldn't be morality. It's not a contingency for him. I have to say that I appear as a skeptic who believes that doubt is the great engine, the great fuel of all inquiry, all discovery, and all innovation and that I doubt these things. The disadvantage, it seems to me, in the argument goes to the person who says, "No, I know, I know it it must be true, it is true." We're too early in the study of physics and biology, it seems to me, to be dealing in certainties of that kind especially when the stakes are so high. It seems to me, to put it in a condensed form: extraordinary claims, such as the existence of a divine power with a son who cares enough to come and redeem us, extraordinary claims require truly extraordinary evidence. I don't think any of the evidence we heard from Dr. Craig, brilliantly marshalled as it was, was extraordinary enough to justify the extreme claims that are being made, backed by it. "Hypocrisy," said La Rochefoucauld, "is the compliment that vice pays to virtue." Retrospective evidentialism strikes me in something of the same sort of light. It's a concession made to the need for fact. Maybe we better have some evidence to along with our faith. But look what Dr. Craig says in his book. He says—I'll quote directly—he says, "Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on argument and evidence then it is the former which must take precedence over the latter." (He adds not vice-versa but a good editor would've told you you don't have to put the vice-versa in, it's clear enough as it is.) I'll say it again, "Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on argument and evidence then it is the former which must take precedence over the latter." That's not evidentialism, that's just faith. It's a priori belief. It's rephrased in another edition. It says, "Therefore the role of rational argumentation in knowing Christianity to be true is the role of a servant. A person knows Christianity is true because the Holy Spirit tells him it is true. And while argument and evidence can be used to support this conclusion they cannot legitimately overrule it." Now, then he goes on to say the Bible says all men are without excuse: "Even those who are given no reason to believe, and many persuasive reasons to disbelieve, have no excuse but because the ultimate reason they do not believe is that they have deliberately rejected God's Holy Spirit." That would have to be me. But you see where this lands you, ladies and gentlemen, with the Christian apologetic: You're told you're a miserable sinner, who is without excuse; you've disappointed your God who made you and you've been so ungrateful as to rebel; you're contemptible; your wormlike; but you can take heart, the whole universe was designed with just you in mind. These two claims are not just mutually exclusive but I think they're intended to compensate each other's cruelty and, ultimately, absurdity. In other words, evidence is an occasional convenience. "Seek and ye shall find," I remember being told that in church many a time as a young lad. "Seek and ye shall find." I thought it was a sinister injunction because it's all too likely to be true. We are pattern-seeking mammals and primates. If we can't get good evidence we'll go for junk evidence. If we can't get a real theory we'll go with a conspiracy theory. You see it all the time. Religion's great strength is that it was the first of our attempts to explain reality, to make those patterns take some kind of form. It deserves credit. It was our first attempt at astronomy; our first attempt at cosmology; in some ways our first attempt at medicine; our first attempt at literature; our first attempt at philosophy. Good, while there was nothing else it had many functional uses of mankind. Never mind that they didn't know that germs caused disease, maybe evil spirits caused disease, maybe disease is a punishment; never mind that they believed in astrology rather than astronomy (even Thomas Aquinas believed in astrology); never mind that they believed in devils; never mind that things like volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tidal waves were thought of as punishments, not as natural occurrences on the cooling crust of a planet. The pattern seeking has gone too far and it's gone, I think, much too far with what was until recently thought of as Christianity's greatest failure—greatest of all failures: cosmology, the one thing Christianity knew nothing about and taught the most abject nonsense about. For most of its lifetime Christianity taught that the earth itself was the center of the universe and we had been given exclusive dominion as a species over it; could not have been more wrong. How are we going to square the new cosmology, the fantastic new discoveries in physics with the old dogmas? Well, one is the idea of this fine tuning about which I've only left myself three and a half minutes. I'll have to refer some of this to later in the discussion. This is essentially another form of pattern seeking on the basis of extremely limited evidence. Most physicists are very uncertain, as they have every right to be, in fact I would say for physicists as they have the duty to be, at the moment, extremely uncertain about the spatio-temporal dimensions of the original episode, the Big Bang at it's sometimes called. We're in the very very early stages of this inquiry we hardly know what we don't know about the origins of the universe. We're viewing it from an unimaginable distance, not just an unimaginable distance in space, perched on a tiny rock on an extremely small suburb of a fairly minor galaxy, trying to look, to discern our origins, but also at a very unbelievable distance in time and we claim the right to say, "Ah, we can see the finger of God in this process." It's an extraordinarily arrogant assumption. It either deserves a Nobel Prize in physics, which it hasn't yet got I notice (I don't know any physicists who believes these assumptions are necessary), or it deserves a charge of hubris. Let me make three tiny quick objections to it as it stands (and I'm no more a physicist than most of you are). I'll make these lay objections. One: Was there pre-existing material for this extra-spatio-temporal being to work with or did he just will it into existence, the ex nihilo? Who designed the designer? Don't you run the risk with the presumption of a god and a designer and an originator of asking, "Well, where does that come from, where does that come from?" and locking yourself into an infinite regress? Why are there so many shooting stars, collapsed suns, failed galaxies we can see? We can see with the aid of a telescope, some we can see with the naked eye the utter failure, the total destruction of gigantic unimaginable sweeps of outer space. Is this fine tuning, or is it extremely random, capricious, cruel, mysterious, and incompetent? And, have you thought of the nothingness that's coming? We know we have something now and we speculate about what it might have come from and there's a real question about ex nihilo, but nihilo is coming to us. In the night sky you can already see the Andromeda galaxy, it's heading straight for ours on a collision course. Is that part of a design? Was it fine tuned to do that? We know that from the red light shift of the Hubble telescope, or rather Edwin Hubble's original discovery, the universe is expanding away from itself at a tremendous rate. It was thought that rate would go down for Newtonian reasons. No, it's recently been proved by Professor Lawrence Krauss the rate of expansion is increasing. Everything's exploding away even faster. Nothingness is certainly coming. Who designed that? That's all if before these things happen we don't have the destruction of our own little solar system in which already there's only one planet where anything like life can possibly be supported. All the other planets are too hot or too cold to support any life at all and the sun is due to swell up, burn us to a crisp, boil our oceans, and die as we've seen all the other suns do in the night sky. This is not fine tuning, ladies and gentlemen, and if it's the work of a designer then there's an indictment to which that designer may have to be subjected. I'm out of time, I'm very grateful for your kindness and hospitality. Thank you.

    HEWITT: Dr. Craig, a twelve minute rebuttal.

    CRAIG: You'll remember that in my opening speech I said I would defend two basic contentions in tonight's debate. First, that there's no good argument that atheism is true. Now far from being a point of contention tonight, as far as I understood Mr. Hitchens' last speech, he would agree with that first statement that there is no good argument that atheism is true. He says, "I simply don't have any positive reason to believe in God," but he doesn't really give an argument against God's existence. Indeed he seems to suggest that's impossible. But notice that doesn't prove atheism, that just leaves you with agnosticism, namely, you don't know if there's a god or not. So, at best, you're left merely with agnosticism. We don't see any good reason to think that atheism is true. Now he did makes some remarks about the theory of evolution which at least insinuated that this was somehow incompatible with theism. And I have two points to make about this. First, I think that the theory of biological evolution is simply irrelevant to the truth of Christian theism. Genesis I admits all manner of different interpretations and one is by no means committed to six-day creationism. Howard van Till, who is a professor at Calvin College, writes, "Is the concept of special creation required of all persons who trust in the creator God of Scripture? Most Christians in my acquaintance who are engaged with either scientific or biblical scholarship have concluded that the special creationists' picture of the world's formation is not a necessary component of Christian belief, nor is this a retreat caused by modern science." Saint Augustin in the AD 300s, in his commentary on Genesis, pointed out that the days don't need to be taken literally nor need the creation be a few thousand years ago. Indeed he suggested that God made the world with certain special potencies that would gradually unfold over time and develop. This interpretation came 1500 years before Darwin so that it is not a forced retreat in the face of modern science. So any doubts that I would have about the theory of biological evolution would be not biblical but rather scientific, namely, what it imagines is fantastically improbable. Barrow and Tipler, two physicists in their book The Anthropic Cosmological Principle list ten steps in the course of human evolution, each of which is so improbable that before it would occur the sun would have ceased to be a main sequence star and incinerated the earth. And they calculate the probability of the evolution of the human genome to be somewhere between four to the negative 180th power to the 110,000th power and four to the negative 360th power to the 110,000th power. So, if evolution did occur on this planet it was literally a miracle, and therefore evidence for the existence of God. So I don't think this is an argument for atheism, quite the contrary, it really provides good grounds for thinking that God superintended the process of biological development. So the Christian can be open to the evidence to follow it where it leads. By contrast, as Alvin Plantinga has said, "For the naturalist, evolution is the only game in town. No matter how fantastic the odds, no matter how improbable, it's got to be true because there is no intelligent creator and designer." So in one sense you've got to feel a little sorry for the atheist. He can't really follow the evidence where it leads, his presuppositions determine the outcome. By contrast, if there is a fine tuner and creator of the universe then already in the initial conditions of the Big Bang you have an elaborately designed universe that permits the evolution and existence of intelligent life and I think evolution simply layers on more improbability. Now Mr. Hitchens says, "But why did God wait so long, all that waste during this time?" Well, that sort of concern with efficiency is only of importance to someone with either limited time or limited resources or both, but in the case of God, He has both unlimited resources and unlimited time and therefore it's simply not important to do this in a quick way. Well now Mr. Hitchens says, "But why did God wait so long before he sent Christ? Human beings have existed for thousands of years on this planet before Christ's coming." Well, what's really crucial here is not the time involved rather it's the population of the world. The population reference bureau estimates that the number of people who have ever lived on this planet is about 105 billion people. Only 2% of them were born prior to the advent of Christ. Erik Kreps of the Survey Research Center of the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research says, "God's timing couldn't have been more perfect. Christ showed up just before the exponential explosion in the world's population." The Bible says in the fullness of time God sent forth His son and when Christ came the nation of Israel had been prepared; the Roman peace dominated the Mediterranean world; it was an age of literacy and learning; the stage was set for the advent of God's son into the world and think that in God's providential plan for human history we see the wisdom of God in orchestrating the development of human life and then in bringing Christ into the world in the fullness of time. So I don't see that there are any good grounds here for thinking that this provides reason for atheism. Now what about my arguments for theism? Mr. Hitchens had some general remarks here: He says it's difficult to get from deism to theism. Now I want to point out that's a false use of these terms, this is simply confused. Deism is a type of theism. Theism is the broad world view that God exists. Deism is a specific kind of theism that says God has not revealed himself directly in the world. Now my arguments are a cumulative case for Christian theism. They add up to the belief in the God that has been revealed by Jesus of Nazareth. Now Mr. Hitchens says, "But you must prove this with certainty." Not at all, I am not claiming these argument demonstrate Christian theism with certainty. I'm saying this is the best explanation of the data when you compare it with other competing hypotheses. I think it's more probable than not. He quotes me as to saying, "The Holy Spirit's witness is the basis for knowing Christianity to be true," and I affirm that. I think the fundamental way in which we know Christianity is true is through the objective inner witness of God's Holy Spirit. (What I called the immediate knowledge of God himself in my fifth point.) On the basis of that we have a properly basic belief in the existence of God and the truth of Christianity. But when it comes to showing someone else that what we know through the witness of the Holy Spirit is true here we appeal to argument and evidence as I've done tonight. And the arguments and evidence that I've appealed to are largely deductive arguments. This isn't retrospective evidentialism, these are deductive arguments. If the premises are true, than you cannot deny the conclusions on pain of irrationality because the conclusions follow with logical necessity from the premises. So the only way to deny the conclusion is you've got to show me which of the premises are false. That's why you've got that program insert with the premises in your program for these arguments. Mr. Hitchens needs to identify which premises of the argument he rejects as false if he is to reject the conclusions. Now with respect to my cosmological argument, notice that he didn't dispute whatever begins to exist has a cause, nor did he dispute the philosophical and scientific arguments for the beginning of the universe. All he asked was the question, "Was there pre-existent material?" The anwers is no, there was not. As Barrow and Tipler point out, "At this singularity, space and time came into existence. Literally nothing existed before the singularity. So if the universe originated at such a singularity, we would truly have a creation ex nihilo, that is, out of nothing." And this isn't talking religion, folks, this is talking contemporary cosmology. So, the first argument, it seems to me, is unrefuted. What about the fine tuning argument? Here he said, "Well, scientists are terribly uncertain about the fine tuning argument." Well, I think that's simply not the case. Sir Martin Ryse, the Astronomer Royal of Great Britain has said, "The laws governing our universe appear to be finely tuned for our existence. Everywhere you look there are yet more examples. Wherever physicists look they see examples of fine tuning." Ernan McMullen, philosopher of science, says, "It seems safe to say that later theory, no matter how different it may be, will turn up approximately the same amount of numbers and the numerous constraints that have to be imposed on these numbers seem both too specific and too numerous to evaporate entirely." So that it's very unlikely that this fine tuning is going to vanish or be explained away. Now, Mr. Hitchens responds, "But we're headed towards nothingness, we're ultimately going to be doomed and therefore the universe is not designed." Well now, this is not a very powerful objection. The temporal duration of something is irrelevant to whether it's been designed. The products of human intelligence and engineering like computers and automobiles will eventually decay and cease to exist but that doesn't mean they weren't designed. I think the real objection that he's getting at here is why would God create mankind only to have it go extinct? But of course, you see, on the Christian view that's false, that is an atheistic assumption. On the Christian view life does not end at the grave and God has given assurance of this by raising Jesus from the dead. So the objection simply has no purchase against Christian theism. So it seems to me that the fine tuning argument is also unrefuted. What about the moral argument? We saw that without God there are no objective moral values, Mr. Hitchens agrees with this and yet he himself affirms over and over again moral statements like the moral reprobation of religious intolerance and violence in the name of religion. So he does affirm objective values but without any basis for it. What I can offer him as a theist is a transcendent basis for the objective moral values and duties that we both want to affirm. Fourthly, the resurrection of Jesus: Again, there was no response to this. Let me simply quote N. T. Wright in his recent study of the resurrection. He says that, "The empty tomb and the appearances of Jesus have a historical probability so high as to be virtually certain, like the death of Augustus in AD 14 or the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. So we are on very solid ground in affirming these three facts that I mentioned in my opening speech and I can't think of any better explanation than the ones that the eye witnesses gave, namely that God raised Jesus from the dead. Finally, the immediate experience of God: Unless Mr. Hitchens can show that I'm psychologically deranged or delusional, it seems to me I'm perfectly rational on the basis of my immediate experience of God to believe that God exists and that therefore this, for me, is a properly basic belief. So I think all of these arguments stand intact despite his reputation. We've seen no argument for atheism so clearly the weight of the evidence falls on the side of the scale for Christian theism tonight.

    HITCHENS: There is a terminological problem here which may conceal more than just terminological difficulty: The proposition that atheism is true is a misstatement of what I have to prove and what we believe. There's an argument among some of us as to whether that we need the word at all. In other words, I don't have a special name for my unbelief in tooth fairies, say, or witches, or in Santa Claus. I just don't think that they're there. I don't have to prove "atoothfairyism"; I don't have to prove "asantaclausism"; I don't have to prove "awitchism." It's just, I have to say, I think that those who do believe these things have never been able to make a plausible or intelligible case for doing so. That's not agnosticism because it seems to me that if you don't think that there is any evidence you're wrong to take refuge in saying you're neutral. You ought to have the courage to answer the question which one is regularly asked, "Are you an atheist or not?" Yes, I will say, I am. You can't tell anything else about me. You can't tell anything else about what I think, about what I believe, about what my politics are or my other convictions. It's just that I don't believe in the existence of a supernatural dimension. I've never been shown any evidence that any process observable to us cannot be explained by more satisfactory and more convincing means. The great physicist Laplace, when showing his working model of the solar system to the Emperor Napoleon, was asked, "Well, you're model seems to have no room for God in it, for a deity," and he said, "Well, Your Majesty, it still all operates without that assumption." Now, here's what you would have to believe if you thought that this was all designed (Dr. Craig gave a slight parody of what I think about this): It could be true, but you'd have to imagine, let's say the human species has been—Homo sapiens has been with us, some people say as long as quarter of a million years, some say 200-, some say 100,000. Francis Collins and Richard Dawkins oscillate about this. It's not a very big argument. I'll just take 100,000 if you like. You have to imagine that human beings are born, well actually most of them, a good number of them aren't born, they die in childbirth or don't long outlive it. They're born into a terrifying world of the unknown, everything is a mystery to them, everything from disease to volcanic eruptions. Everything is—life expectancy for the first—I don't know—many, many tens of thousands of years would be lucky to be in the twenties, probably dying agonizingly of their teeth, poorly evolved as the teeth are and from other inheritances from being primates such as the appendix that we don't need, such as the fact that our genitalia appear to be designed by a committee, other short comings of the species, exaggerated by scarcity, by war, by famine, by competition and so on and for 98,000 years or so heaven watches this with complete indifference and then&mdash[to an audience member whose cell phone has gone off]we know where your children go to school, by the way—heaven watches this with total indifference and then with 2,000 years to go on the clock thinks, "Actually, it's time we intervened. We can't go on like this, why don't we have someone tortured to death in Bronze Age Palestine? That should teach them; that should give them a chance at redemption." You're free to believe that, but I think the designer who thought of doing it that way is a very, or was a very cruel, capricious, random, bungling, and incompetent one. The news of this—Dr. Craig talks as if, "Ok, but since then they'll be more people born so it might have been a good time in terms of population growth," well, there are a huge number of people who still haven't even heard of this idea. The news hasn't penetrated to them, or where it has, it's been brought to them by people who Dr. Craig doesn't think of as Christians, such as Mormons, for example, and it's taught to them in many discrepant and competitive and indeed incompatible and violently irreconcilable ways. And there's been a lot of argument in the church and the churches all this time about, well, "Ok, what is the answer to that? What about all the people who never could've heard the good news or who never will hear it or still haven't been reached by it and who've died not knowing about it? What happens to them? How can they be saved?" Well the argument is that it's all somehow made retrospective. And as, with so many of these arguments, I just comment on these, well how convenient. Becuase if you're willing to make assumptions of this kind then really evidence is only ancillary to what you are advancing. Now I didn't have to chance—Oh, and just on Mr. Wright, sorry I scrawled a little note to myself—in your first round, Doctor, you said that N. T. Wright, who is an impressive person, says that no explanation of the success of Christianity is possible that doesn't rest on the terms of its being true, in other words Wright says, "It was so successful, it must have been that the people were so strongly motivated to believe it, that it must have been true." I regard that as a very, very unsafe assumption. Or, if it is a safe one, then it must surely apply to Islam and to Mormonism. I mean, these are two very, very, very fast growing religions; have people prepared to sacrifice enormously for it; have ancestors who were absolutely determined of the truth of it at the time and who made extraordinary conquests in its name. If you're going to grant this for one religion it seems to me you have to be willing, not just willing, you may indeed be compelled to make this concession for all of them and that, I think, would be not just an unsafe assumption but for most of you here a distinctly unwelcome one. Now, I didn't get the chance, because I outtalked myself, I'm sorry for it, to get to the moral dimension and I'm interested in the fact that "objective" morality is the one that Dr. Craig chooses. Usually the arguments about morality are whether the morality as, so to say, "absolute," or whether it's "relative." As to objectivity I think it's a very good compromise word by the way and I'm very happy to accept it. But the problem with morality is this, in respect of religion: You can't prove that anyone behaves any better if they refer to this problem upward to a supreme dictator of a celestial kind. There are two questions that I've asked in public and I'll try them again because I try them on every audience. They're very simple ones: First, you have to name for me—challenges, let's say, rather than questions—you have to name for me an ethical action or an ethical statement or moral action or moral statement made or undertaken by a believer that I couldn't undertake or say, I couldn't state or do. I haven't yet had an example pointed out of that to me. In other words, that a person of faith would have an advantage by being able to call upon divine sanction. Whereas if I ask you to think of a wicked act undertaken by someone in the name of God or because of their faith or a wicked statement made, you wouldn't have that much difficulty, I think, in coming up with an example right away. The genital mutilation community, for example, is almost exclusively religious; the suicide bombing community is almost exclusively religious; there are injunctions for genecide in the Old Testament; there are injunctions, warrants for slavery and racism in the Old Testament too. There's simply no way of deriving morality and ethics from the supernatural. When we come to the question of the absolute, well, the most often cited one is the Golden Rule, the one that almost everyone feels they have in common. The injunction not to do to others as you wouldn't want them to do to you. This doesn't in fact come from the Sermon on the Mount or from Christianity, or it doesn't originate with it. It's certainly adumbrated by Rabbi Hillel, a Babylonian rabbi, and it's to be found in The Analects of Confucious, too. But it has, since we're talking about objective, relative, and absolute, a crucial weakness in it, unfortunately: We'd like to be able to follow it but it's really only as good as the person uttering it. In others words, if I say I won't treat you as I don't want you to treat me, what am I to do when confronted with Charles Manson? I want him treated in a way that I wouldn't want to be treated myself. Anything else would surely be completely relativistic. So the argument isn't at all advanced by saying that I couldn't know any of this; I couldn't have any moral promptings; I couldn't decide for myself if I see a pregnant woman being kicked in the stomach that, because she's pregnant, that's obviously worse than if it was just a regular woman being kicked in the stomach. This is part of my patrimony as a human being, it's part of the essential emotional solidarity that I need to have with my fellow creatures to make us realize that we are brothers and sisters, one with another. We are dependent upon one another; we have duties; we have expectations of one another and that if we didn't have these, and try to fulfill them, we couldn't have gotten as far as we have. We couldn't have evolved as a species; we couldn't have ever had a society. There's never been a society found where rape and murder and perjury are not condemned. These moral discoveries long—or absolutes, if you want to call them that—long predate the arrival of anything recognizable as monotheism. It's a bit like the argument of free will. People say, "Well, how do you have free will? Do you think you do have it?" Well, it's a very, very difficult subject indeed. Some religions say you don't in effect have it, that all is determined by heaven, you're really only a play thing in a larger game. I take that to be that some of the point of Calvinism. There are some schools of Islam also that say, "It is only as Allah wills." There's no will of yours really involved as long as you're willing to make the prostration and the obedience. So the connection between religion and free will isn't as simple and easy as some people think it is. But I would say, yes, I think we have free will. When asked why I think so, I would have to take refuge in philosophical irony and say, "Because I don't think we have any choice but to have free will." Well at least I know at this point that I'm being ironic and that some of the irony is at my own expense and it's a risk I have to be willing to run. But the Christian answer is, "Of course you have free will, the boss insists upon it." This somewhat degrades the freedom and redefines the idea of will and it seems to me also that there's something degrading in the idea that saying that morality is derived in the same way; that it comes from on high; that we, ourselves, are not good enough; that we don't have the dignity; we don't have the self respect; we don't have the character to know a right action or a right statement when we see it or when we want to perform it. It's this servile element in religion—it's not strictly speaking the subject of our debate this evening, I know, but I'm damned if I completely forgo it—it's the idea that, buried in the religious impulse, is actually the wish to be unfree, is the wish for an immovable, unchangeable, celestial authority, a kind of heavenly North Korea that will take our decisions away from us and commit us only to worship and praise and thank a Great Leader and his son, the Dear Leader, forever and ever and ever. I'm so glad that there's no evidence that this is true. Thank you.

    HEWITT: We now enter the period of cross examination which, trial like, allows the questioner to pose and the answerer only to answer and not to repeat the question or to dodge. Six minutes of questions begin to Dr. Craig followed by six minutes of questions to Mr. Hitchens. Dr Craig, your questions for Mr. Hitchens.

    CRAIG: Alright, let's talk first about whether there are any good arguments to think that atheism is true. Now, it seems to me that you're rather ambivalent here, that you say—you redefine atheism to mean a sort of "ah"-theism or "non"-theism.

    HITCHENS: That's what it means.

    CRAIG: But, how do you distinguish then the different varieties of nontheism, for example what is normally called atheism, agnosticism, or the view of verificationists that the statement "God exists" is simply meaningless?

    HITCHENS: Well, I mean, there are different schools of atheism as you say, but there's no claim I know how to make that says atheism is true because atheism is the statement that a certain proposition isn't true. So I wish you'd get this bit right because—there you go again. I've just devoted a little time to this. I said it is not, in itself, a belief or a system, it simply says you can by get by better, probably, we think, without the assumption and that no one who wants you to worship a god has ever been able to come up with a good enough reason to make you to do it.

    CRAIG: Now, so the point it though, that on your definition of "ah"-theism or nontheism, it really embodies a diversity of views such as agnosticism, what is normally called atheism, or this verificationism. Now, which of those do you hold to within this umbrella of "ah"-theism? Are you an atheist who asserts the proposition "God does not exist" or do you simply withhold belief in God in the way that the agnostic does?

    HITCHENS: Right. On some days I'm a great—[responding to audience laughter] no, I'm not going to do you that much of a favor—on some days I'm a great admirer of Thomas Huxley who had the great debate with Bishop Wilberforce in Oxford at the Natural History Museum about Darwinism in the mid-nineteenth century, who was known as Darwin's bulldog (we would now say Darwin's pitbull) and who completely trounced the good bishop. But, I can't thank him for inventing the term "agnostic" and I can't thank him for some of his social Darwinist positions either, some of which are rather unattractive.

    CRAIG: I need an answer to this...

    HITCHENS: Yes, because I think agnosticism is evasive. To me, yes, if you talk about the power of the Holy Spirit and so forth, to me that is meaningless, it's, to me, I'm sorry, I've tried, it's white noise. It's like saying, "There is only one God and Allah is his messenger." It's gibberish to me.

    CRAIG: What is [inaudbile]...

    HITCHENS: There are many of us, I'm sorry there are just many of us to whom, of whom this is the case. It may be true, it is true that religion...

    CRAIG: Ok Mr. Hitchens, I've gotta press you here because time is [inaudible]...

    HITCHENS: Feel free...press away.

    CRAIG: What is your view exactly? Do you affirm God does not exist or do you simply withhold belief?

    HITCHENS: I think once I have said that I've never seen any persuasive evidence for the existence in something, and I've made real attempts to study the evidence presented and the arguments presented, that I will go as far as to say, have the nerve to say, that it does not therefore exist except in the minds of its...

    CRAIG: Alright, so...

    HITCHENS: Except in the Henry Jamesian subject of sense that you say of it being so real to some people in their own minds that it counts as a force in the world.

    CRAIG: Alright, that it's objective. Ok, so you do affirm then that God does not exist. Now, what I want to know and and do you have any justification for that?

    HITCHENS: [Thinking his microphone has come undone] I think I've come unwired.

    CRAIG: You're still—you're fine.

    HITCHENS: You sure?

    CRAIG: Do you have any arguments leading to the conclusion that God does not exist?

    HITCHENS: Well I would rather, I think—I'm wondering if I'm boring anybody now. I would rather say—I'd rather state it in reverse and say I find all the arguments in favor to be fallacious or unconvincing. And I'd have to add, though this isn't my reason for not believing in it, that I would be very depressed if it was true. That's quite a different thing. I don't say of atheism that it's at all morally superior, that would be very risky. I wouldn't admit that it was at all morally inferior either, but we can at least be acquitted on the charge of wishful thinking. We don't particularly...

    CRAIG: I wonder—I wonder if that's the case. Would you agree that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence?

    HITCHENS: Well, you know, I'm not sure that I would agree.

    CRAIG: Ok.

    HITCHENS: No, I mean, I think...

    CRAIG: Let's turn to the moral argument and talk about that a little bit. I think you've misunderstood the moral argument [inaudible]...

    HITCHENS: Given the stakes, Doctor—sorry—given the stakes, I mean you're not saying, we're not talking about unicorns or tooth fairies or leprechauns here, we're talking about an authority that would give other humans beings the right to tell me what to do in the name of God. So, for a claim like that if there's no evidence for it it seems to me a very—not a small question.

    CRAIG: No, it's certainly not a small question, but I wonder...

    HITCHENS: Because you're making a very, very, very large claim. Your evidence had better be absolutely magnificent, it seems to me, and it's the lack of magnificence I think that began to strike me first.

    HEWITT: One final question, Doctor.

    CRAIG: Ok, well let's go to the moral argument. It seems to me there that you've misunderstood the argument, in that we're looking for an objective foundation for the moral values and duties that we want—we both I think want to affirm. It's not a matter of whether or not we can know what is right and wrong, or that we need God to tell us what is right and wrong, it's rather that we need to have some sort of an objective foundation for right and wrong. Wouldn't you agree on your view it's simply the socio-biological spinoffs of the evolutionary process and that therefore these do not provide any sort of objective foundation for moral values and duties?

    HITCHENS: That could be true, yes. It could well be true.

    CRAIG: Ok.

    HITCHENS: Yeah. I don't want to be too much of a reductionist, but it's entirely possible that it is purely evolutionary and functional. One wants to think that there's a bit more to one's love for the fellow creature than that. But it doesn't add one iota of weight or moral gravity to the argument to say that's because I don't believe in a supernatural being. It's a non sequitur.

    HEWITT: Mr. Hitchens, your questions for Dr. Craig.

    HITCHENS: Ah, well, I'd like to know first: You said that the career of Jesus of Nazareth involved a ministry of miracles and exorcisms. When you say "exorcism," do you mean that you believe in devils too?

    CRAIG: What I meant there was that most historians agree that Jesus of Nazareth practiced miracle working and he practiced exorcisms. I'm not committing myself, nor are historians committing themselves, to the reality of demons but they are saying that Jesus did practice exorcism and he practiced healing.

    HITCHENS: So you believe that Jesus of Nazareth caused devils to leave the body of a madman and go into a flock of pigs that hurled themselves down the Gadarene slopes into the sea?

    CRAIG: Do I believe that's historical? Yes.

    HITCHENS: Right. That would be sorcery, wouldn't it though?

    CRAIG: No, it would be an illustration of Jesus' ability to command even the forces of darkness and therefore an illustration of the sort of divine authority that he was able to command and exercise. This, as I say, is illustrative of this unprecedented sense of divine authority that Jesus of Nazareth had that he even could command the forces of darkness and that they would obey. So, whether you think he was a genuine exorcist or that he merely believed himself to be an exorcist, what is historically undeniable is that he had this radical sense of divine authority which he expressed by miracle working and exorcisms.

    HITCHENS: Right. And do you believe he was born of a virgin?

    CRAIG: Yes, I believe that as a Christian. I couldn't claim to prove that historically, that's not part of my case tonight. But as a Christian I believe that.

    HITCHENS: And I know you believe in the resurrection but...

    CRAIG: Yes, that I think we have good evidence.

    HITCHENS: As a matter of biblical, what shall we call it, consistency, it's said in one of the Gospels that at the time of the crucifixion all the graves of Jerusalem were opened and all the tenants of the graves walked the streets and greeted their old friends. It makes resurrection sound rather commonplace in the greater Jerusalem area.

    CRAIG: That's in the Gospel of Matthew and that's actually attached to a crucifixion narrative where...

    HITCHENS: That's what I said, it says at the time of the crucifixion.

    CRAIG: Yes, that's right, at the time of the crucifixion it says that there were appearances of Old Testament saints in Jerusalem at the time. This is part of Matthew's description of the crucifixion scene.

    HITCHENS: I mean, do you believe that?

    CRAIG: I don't know whether Matthew intends this to be apocalyptic imagery or whether he means this to be taken literally. I've not studied it in any depth and I'm open minded about it. I'm willing to be convinced one way or the other.

    HITCHENS: You see the reason I'm pressing you is this: Because, I mean, we know from Scripture that Pharoahs' magicians could produce miracles. In the end, Aaron could outproduce them, but what I'm suggesting to you is even if the laws of nature can be suspended and great miracles can be performed, it doesn't prove the truth of the doctrine of the person who's performing them. Would you not agree to that?

    CRAIG: Not necessarily, I think that's right.

    HITCHENS: So somebody could be casting out devils from pigs and that wouldn't prove he was the son of God?

    CRAIG: I think that's right. In fact, there were Jewish exorcists. The only point that I was trying to make there that this was illustrative of the kind of divine authority that Jesus claimed, especially since He didn't cast them out...

    HITCHENS: But if...

    CRAIG: ...in God's name or He didn't perform miracles by praying to God, He would do them in His own authority, so that Jesus exercised an authority that was simply unheard of at that time and, for which He was eventually crucified because it was thought to be blasphemous.

    HITCHENS: Well, it was though to be blasphemous to have claimed to be the Messiah, to be exact. I mean, the people who got the closest look at him, the Jewish Sanhedrin, thought that his claims were not genuine so, remember, if you resting anything on eye witnesses, the ones who we definitely know were there thought he was bogus. But ok, I think I've got a rough idea—asuming you make that assumption of his pre-existing divinity, that it's a presuppositionalist case, I can see what you're driving it.

    CRAIG: Well no, I'm not a presuppositionalist.

    HITCHENS: I've got another question for you which is this: How many religions in the world do you believe to be false?

    CRAIG: I don't know how many religions in the world there are, so I couldn't...

    HITCHENS: Well, could you name—[audience laughter]—Fair enough, I'll see if I can't narrow that down. That was a clumsily asked question, I admit. Do you regard any of the world's religions to be false?

    CRAIG: Excuse me?

    HITCHENS: Do you regard any of the world's religions to be false preaching?

    CRAIG: Yes, I think, yeah, certainly.

    HITCHENS: Would you name one, then?

    CRAIG: Islam.

    HITCHENS: That's quite a lot.

    CRAIG: Pardon me?

    HITCHENS: That's quite a lot.

    CRAIG: Yes.

    HITCHENS: Do you, therefore—do you think it's moral to preach false religion?

    CRAIG: No.

    HITCHENS: So religion is responsible for quite a lot of wickedness in the world right there?

    CRAIG: Certainly.

    HITCHENS: Right.

    CRAIG: I'd be happy to concede that. I would agree with that.

    HITCHENS: So if I was a baby being born in Saudi Arabia today, would you rather I was me, or a Wahabi Muslim?

    CRAIG: Would I be—you rather be what?

    HITCHENS: Would you rather it was me (it was an atheist baby) or a Wahabi baby?

    CRAIG: I don't have any preference as to whether you would...

    HITCHENS: As bad as that, ok. Are there any—I'm sorry, I've only got a few seconds and it's a serious question, I shouldn't squander it—are there any Christian denomenations you regard as false?

    CRAIG: Certainly.

    HITCHENS: Could I know what they are?

    CRAIG: Well, I'm not a Calvinist, for example. I think that certain tenets of Reformed Theology are incorrect. I would be more in Wesleyan camp myself. But, these are differences among brethren. these are not difference on which we need to put one another into some sort of a cage. So, within the Christian camp, there's a large diversity of perspectives. I'm sure there are views that I hold that are probably false but I'm trying my best to get my theology straight, trying to do the best job but I think all of us would recognize that none of us agree on every point of Christian doctrine, on every dot and tittle.

    HEWITT: Before Mr. Hitchens succeeds in launching another series of religious wars among Christians let's get to the responses, seven minutes each. Dr. Craig, it is your seven minutes.

    CRAIG: Ok. Well, I think it's very evident that in tonight's debate, we've not heard any good reasons to think that what is normally called atheism is true, that is to say the belief that God does not exist. Mr. Hitchens withholds belief in God but he's unable to give us any argument to think that God does not exist which is what is called positive atheism. Now he does mention that the human species has been here for 100,000 years but I've already responded to that: What's crucial there is not the number of years, it's the population and only 2% of the population of the earth has existed before Christ. And during that time God is not indifferent to the lot of those people, rather he is preparing humanity, preparing the world for the advent of Christ so that in the fullness of time Christ would come into the world. And those people who lived apart from Christ, God cared for them as well and provided for them. The Bible says, "Ever since the creation of the world, God's invisible nature, namely His eternal power and deity has been clearly perceived in the things that have been made." Paul says that, "From one man God made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth and He determined the time set for them in the exact places that they should live. He did this so men would seek Him and perhaps reach out for Him and find Him, for He is not far from each one of us, for in Him we live and move and have our being." So that those who lived before Christ were covered by the death of Christ, they were covered by his atoning sacrifice and God will judge them on the basis of the information that they had in their response to general revelation. Similar to those who haven't heard the Gospel yet today, they will be judged on the basis of the information that they do have and how they respond to that. And aren't you glad that you don't have to judge them? You can leave this up to the hands of a just and holy and merciful God who will judge people on the basis of how they respond to the revelation that they do have. So we've not heard any argument tonight that God does not exist. Now, by contrast, I've given five arguments to show that Christian theism is true. First, we saw the cosmological argument. Mr. Hitchens has not disagreed with either of the premises of this argument and so we have good grounds to believe in the personal creator of the universe. As for the teleological argument, again he didn't respond to what I said in my last speech with respect to the fine tuning being well established in science and that the fact that we're going towards nothingness as he puts it, is an atheistic assumption, not a Christian assumption and therefore doesn't do anything to disprove design. Now what about the moral argument? Here he says that, "You have to prove that people would behave better if they believed in God." That's not the argument, I hope that's clear to everyone. The argument is that without God as a transcendent foundation for moral values, we're simply lost in socio-cultural relativism. Who are you to judge that the Nazi ethic was wrong? Who are you to judge that the ethic of ancient Hinduism was wrong? Who are you to judge that the Africana apartheid is wrong? This is all just the result of socio-cultural evolution and there is no transcendent objective standard apart from God and that's what God delivers for us. Now Mr. Hitchens says, "Name one moral action that an unbeliever could not take." Well, that's trivially easy. If God exists there are all kinds of moral duties that we have that the unbeliever cannot recognize. At the panel discussion last week in Dallas, when Mr. Hitchens demanded that someone name such an action, a pastor on the panel immediately piped up, "How about tithing?" Well, leave it to a pastor to think of that, but—clearly, that's an action that only a believer would take. Even more fundamentally, what about the first and greatest commandment? "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your strength, with all your mind." That is an action that only a believer can take, no unbeliever can discharge even this most fundamental of moral duties. But, in any case, all of this is beside the point with respect to the moral argument. The point is that on atheism there are no moral obligations for anybody to fulfill. In nature, whatever is is right and Mr. Hitchens is unable to provide any sort of objective foundation for moral values. Massimo Pigliucci is a philosopher of biology. This is what he has to say: He says on atheism, "There is no such thing as objective morality. Morality in human cultures has evolved and what is moral for you might not be moral for the guy next door and certainly is not moral for the guy across the ocean. And what makes you think that your personal morality is the one and everybody else is wrong? What we call homicide or rape," he said, "is very, very common among different kinds of animals. Lions, for example, commit infanticide on a regular basis. Now, are these kinds of acts to be condoned? I don't even know what that means because the lion doesn't understand what morality is. Morality," he says, "is an invention of human beings." It's just a convention that human beings have adopted to live together. But it has no objectivity. And that's what I offer Mr. Hitchens tonight, is a solid, transcendent foundation for the moral values that I think he so desperately wants to affirm. What about the resurrection of Jesus? Here he misunderstood N. T. Wright's argument. N. T. Wright's argument is not that the success of Christianity means that it's true, that would apply to Islam and Mormonism, rather, N. T. Wright's argument is that the origin of the disciples' belief that God had raised Jesus from the dead is so unjewish, it is so uncharacteristic, that you have to explain what would bring them to adopt so radical a mutation of Jewish belief as belief in a dying Messiah and a rising Messiah and he says the only thing he can think of that would explain this is the empty tomb and the post mortem appearances of Jesus and that's why Wright concludes that these have a certainty that is comparable to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70. So you've gotta get the argument right if you're going to deal with it and, in fact, I think the only explanation of these facts is the one that the disciples gave that God raised Jesus from the dead. Finally, the immediate experience of God has remained untouched. God is real to me. And unless I'm delusion, I'm perfectly within my rational rights to believe in God on the basis of this experience just as I believe in the reality of the external world or the reality of the past on the basis of my experience. So I think in sum, we've got five good reasons for believing that Christianity is true, no reason to think atheism is true and therefore I think Christianity is clearly the more rational world view.

    HITCHENS: I think it's—you'll correct me if I'm wrong—it's Tertilian, isn't it, who says something like, it's variously translated "credo quia absurdum"? That the very improbability of the thing, the very unlikelihood of it, the unlikelihood that anyone would fabricate such a thing, for example, that a Jew could be brought to believe something so extraordinary, is testimony to its truth. I'm sure there can't be anyone here who doesn't thinks that's a little too easy, a little too facile. I myself, for example, have followed the career of a woman known vulgarly in the media as "Mother Teresa," an Albanian named Agnes Bojaxhiu, a Catholic fanatic operating in the greater Calcutta area, and I watched every stage of her career as a candidate for, and then the recipient of, beatification and shortly, canonization. The canonization will require, as the Vatican demands, the attestation of a miracle performed by her posthumous intercession. And the miracle's already been announced, a woman in Bengal, fortunately already a devout Catholic, by pressing a medal of Mother Teresa to her stomach, made a tumor go away, or so she says. All the witnesses to this have since recanted, all the doctors have given a much better explanation of how she was cured of the swelling and the growth and what the medicines were and so forth, but they're still stuck with it. They have to go ahead with this process because—which will lead to countless, untold suffering in India because it will appear to license the bogus charlatanry of shaman, medicine and intercessary medicine rather than the real thing. All of this will have to be gone through, this awful display, in the name of faith. And I just happened to have watched it at every stage and I can tell you it's depressingly easy to get a religious rumor started. You can count on an enormous amount of pre-existing credulity among illiterate, frightened, ill-educated populations. There isn't a literate, written-down, properly attested witness of any real sort in the Gospels. It is, and you may as well admit it, and stick to it because it's what you're good at, it involves an act of faith. Second, on the matter of my moral question: Yes, it's true that Doug Wilson said that tithing was something I couldn't do, but then not just—I'm not moving the goal posts here—I don't think I'd regard giving all my money to the New Saint Andrews church as a moral act. The only challenge that I've had so far that I really couldn't get out of—I should share it with you—was I was told well you couldn't do this: You couldn't say, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." No, but nor could you as people of faith, you wouldn't dare. It would be blasphemy to do it. There's only one person who can do that even on your account so, with respect, ladies and gentlemen, I think both my challenges stand. It hasn't been shown that I couldn't be a moral person despite my unbelief and it has certainly not been demonstrated that unbelief with guarantee you against—excuse me that the belief will—I'll say it again—that unbelief will ensure you against wickedness. You mentioned things like apartheid and Nazism. Well, let me just run it by you. Partly this often comes up because people say, "What about the crimes and wickedness of the secular world?" The apartheid system in South Africa was actually a creation of the Dutch Reformed Church. It was justified theologically as the giving of a promised land to one Christian religious tribe in which everyone else was supposed to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. It wasn't until the Dutch Reformed Church, under pressure, agreed to drop their racist preachments of many years that the apartheid system could be dismantled. The dictatorship in Greece in 1967 to '74 was proclaimed by the Greek Orthodox Church as a "Greece for Christian Greeks." The Russian Orthodox Church at present, maybe this is one of the churches you don't recognize as Christian, I don't know, but it's currently become the body guard of the Vladimir Putin dictatorship in Russia. They are now producing, the Russian Orthodox Church, actual icons with halos around them of Joseph Stalin for distribution to extreme Russian nationalists and chauvinists for whom the church has become the spiritual sword and butler. In Nazi Germany prayers were said every year on the Führer's birthday by order of the churches for his survival and well being. The first concordat signed by Hitler and by Mussolini, in both cases, was with the Vatican. If you take out the word "facist" from any account of the 1920s and '30s, any reputable historical account, and you insert the words "Christian right wing," or actually "Catholic right wing," you don't have to change a word of the rest of the sentence. And the third member of the axis, the Japanese empire, was led by someone who actually claimed he was himself a god and to whom everyone in Japan was a serf and had to admit his god had indivinity and it was said to all of them, "Where would we know without the Emperor? How would we know what to do? How would we know what a right action was? Without him there would be screwing in the streets. There would be chaos, no one would know their bearings. Without our god, we would be rudderless." Many Japanese people, in fact, it is pitiful to report, still actually believe that. Now, I want to say, in other words, that religion is the outcome of unresolved contradictions in the material world, that if you make the assumption that it's man-made then very few things are mysterious to you; if you make the assumption that religion is man-made then you would know why—it would be obvious to you why there are so many religions; when you make the assumption that it's man-made you will understand why it is that religion has been such a disappointment to our species that despite enumerable revivals, enumerable attempts again to preach the truth, enumerable attempts to convert the heathen, enumerable attempt to send missionaries all around the world, that the same problems remain with us. That nothing is resolved by this. That we—if all religions died out or all were admitted to be false instead of, as all believers will tell you, only some of them are false, in other words, we're faced with the preposterous proposition that religion—either all of them true, or none of them true, or only one exclusive preachment is true. And none of these seem, to me, coherent and all of these seem to be the outcome of a man-made cult. Assume that all of them were discredited at the same time, all of our problems would be exactly what they are now: How do we live with one another? Where, indeed, do morals and ethics come from? What are our duties to one another? How shall we build the just city? How shall we practice love? How shall we deal with the baser, what Darwin called the "lowly stamp of our original origins," which comes, not from a pact with the devil, or an original sin, but from our evolution as well? All these questions, ladies and gentlemen, would remain exactly the same. Emancipate yourself from the idea of a celestial dictatorship and you've taken the first step to becoming free. Thank you.

    HEWITT: Dr. Craig, your closing argument. Five minutes.

    CRAIG: In my final speech I'd like to try to draw together some of the threads of this debate and see if we can come to some conclusions. First, have we seen any good arguments tonight to think that God does not exist? No, I don't think we have. We've heard attacks upon religion, Christianity impugned, God impugned, Mother Teresa impugned, but we haven't heard any arguments that God does not exist. Mr. Hitchens seems to fail to recognize that atheism is itself a world view and it claims alone to be true and all the other religions of the world false. It is no more tolerant than Christianity, with respect to these other views. He asserts that he alone has the true world view: atheism. The only problem is he doesn't have any arguments for this world view, he just asserts it. So it seems to me that if you're going to have a world view and champion it tonight you've got to come to a debate prepared to give some arguments and we haven't heard any. He did have an argument about evolution but when I explained that it actually turned out to be supportive of theism, evolution actually provides evidence for the existence of a designer of the universe, so we've not heard any good arguments to think that atheism is true. Now, I've presented five reasons to think that theism is true and this is what God, or the god hypothesis does give you: He asks, "What does it give us?" It explains a broad range of human experience, philosophical, ethical, scientific, historical, experiential. I find the attraction of the god hypothesis is that it is so powerful in making sense of the way the world is. For example, the god hypothesis explains the origins of the universe. Mr. Hitchens has completed dropped this point in tonight's debate. When we saw that in fact scientific and philosophical evidence points to a beginning of the universe out of nothing and therefore to a transcendent, personal creator of the cosmos. The teleological argument: The fine tuning that is established in the initial conditions of the universe, not to speak of in the biological complexity that then ensued. And again, Mr. Hitchens has dropped that in the course of the debate tonight. So we have a creator and an intelligent designer of the cosmos. Thirdly, the moral argument: We saw that without God there are no objective moral values. And here Mr. Hitchens has consistently distorted the argument. He's portrayed the argument as, "How would we know moral values if we didn't believe in God? We don't need to believe in a tyrant in order to define moral values. Unbelief doesn't produce wickedness." That is all irrelevant. The point is that there is no foundation on a naturalistic world view for the moral values and duties that we both want to affirm and he agrees with that. This is what he says and I quote, he says, "Our innate predisposition to both good and wicked behavior is precisely what one would expect to find of a recently evolved species that is half a chromosome away from chimpanzees. Primate and elephant and even pig societies show considerable evidence of care for others, parent-child bonding, solidarity in the face of danger, and so on. As Darwin put it, any animal, whatever endowed with well-marked social instincts, would inevitably acquire a moral censor conscience as soon as its intellectual powers had become as well developed as in man." That is the socio-biological explanation for morality. The problem is that that moral sense that develops in pig societies, chimpanzees, baboons, and Homo sapiens is illusory on atheism because there are no objective moral duties or values that we have to fulfill and that's what the theist can offer Mr. Hitchens. And so, I want to invite Mr. Hitchens to think about becoming a Christian tonight. Honestly, if he is a man of good will who will follow the evidence where it leads—all of the evidence tonight has been on one side of the scale and he wants to affirm objective moral values so why not adopt theism? The resurrection of Jesus has gone unrefuted. The argument is not that it's too improbable to be false, the argument is that you need a historically sufficient explanation to explain why the disciples came to believe this and there isn't one apart from the empty tomb and appearances. It's not a matter of rumor because the empty tomb was public knowledge in Jerusalem. It would impossible for Christianity to flourish in Jerusalem in the face of an occupied tomb. Finally, the immediate experience of God: If there's anyone watching or listening to the debate tonight who hasn't found God in a personal experiential way then I want to invite you as well to think about becoming a Christian. I became a Christian as a junior in high school and it changed my entire life and I believe that if you'll look into it honestly with an open mind and an open heart that it can change your life as well.

    HEWITT: Mr. Hitchens has yielded his time and therefore we move to questions and we are directing those questions to students tonight. I want to repeat something Dr. Hazen said: There are stupid questions. I want to ad to it we are uninterested in your opinions. Only your questions matter to us. I don't know where the microphone is can we hear the first question? Each participant will answer every question.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 1: Dr. Craig, Mr. Hitchens, thank you so much. It's been great listening to you both. My question is for Mr. Hitchens: Mr. Hitchens, in your book god is Not Great, you say that, "There are four irreducible objections to religious faith." The third being that religious faith "is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression." So here's my question for you: Is it good that the Bible prohibits humans from having sex with animals, or is that an example of dangerous sexual repression?

    HITCHENS: The allusion I was making was not to the man-made, in the ordinary sense nature of religion, that you can tell from studying some of its codes that it's—humans have inventing it. That's why so many of the injunctions in the Old Testament are as you quite rightly say, concerned with agriculture, shall we put it delicately?

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 1: So...

    HITCHENS: But, it's more that it's man-made, it's designed to keep women in subordination.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 1: But, could you answer the question?

    HITCHENS: Yes.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 1: Do you think the Bible is right to prohibit humans from having sex with animals?

    HITCHENS: I don't know of any good advice about having sex with animals—in favor of it, I mean to say. Look, there are things that if people do, incest is one and cannibalism is another, if you do them, you'll die out. A society that permitted it would—there were societies in New Guinea that did practice cannibalism and there's a terrible disease that you get called Kuru if you do it and it seems to me, if you like, there are some rules that are self-enforcing. That's not what I—when I was talking about sexual repression, I was talking about the enormous number of prohibitions on sex between men and women and on the evident fear of female sexuality and the superstitious dread, for example, of female menstrual blood, things of this kind.

    HEWITT: Dr. Craig, your assessment of that question and answer.

    CRAIG: Well, I think the question illustrates that, apart from God, whatever is in nature is right. There is no thing barred in nature if there is no sort of objective moral code. So, the question is a good one because it illustrates that here is a guideline for sexual expression that is very good for human beings and not something that's meant to be repressive or harmful to human beings. In fact, the studies I've seen says that religious people have more fun with sex than people who are not religious and it's actually shows that they are more sexually satisfied in marriage and so forth. So I think the question makes a good point.

    HITCHENS: I think I have to have another bite at this—[audience laughter]—this tempting cherry. You see, if it's true that, as I think it is, that nature is pretty indifferent, pretty callous, pretty random, then who is the designer? Many people say, concerning the ban on homosexuality, for example, in the Old Testament, they'll say, "Well, homosexuality is against God's law and against Nature's law." Well, in that case, why does Nature see to it that so many people are born homosexual? Or, if you want to rephrase it, why does God have so many of his children preferring sex with their own gender? It doesn't help—it doesn't—in clarifying and elucidating this. It doesn't help to assume a supernatural authority. Whereas, if you look at the reasons given by Maimonides and the other sages for the practice of circumcision, it is precisely to dull and to blunt the sensation of an organ which I don't think even—well, I'll leave it there.

    HEWITT: Our next question.

    HITCHENS: It's explicitly designed, in other words, to reduce sexual pleasure, make it more of a painful duty than a celebration. Well you asked for it.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 2: I don't want to misrepresent myself I was a student here and graduated—[audience laughter upon noticing he's middle-aged]—somewhat by the skin of my teeth. Mr. Hitchens you stated that—some of your most strongly stated arguments are that the results of religion (violence, death, destruction, the motivation being religion) discredit those who would promote a belief in God. However, I think there's an imbalance there in that the nuclear bomb was created by physicists and is the most demonstrable violence perpetrated on mankind. So I wonder how you respond to that.

    HITCHENS: Well, physics isn't an ideology. Physics isn't a belief system. It's a science.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 2: Well that, I think, that would be subjective.

    HITCHENS: I mean you could—any more than Marie Curie discovering radium makes her practice morally different. I mean, it's not comparing like with like. What I'm talking about are specific religious injunctions to do evil. To mutilate the genitalia of children, for example. To take the pastor, Douglas Wilson, who Dr. Craig was just mentioning, with whom I've crossed swords several times this year, and recently in Dallas: I happened to be mentioning to him about the commandment to exterminate the Amalekites in one of our debates and he said that commandment is still valid. If there were any Amalekites it would be his job to make sure they were all put to the sword and some of the virgins left over for slavery, purposes better imagined perhaps than described. I think this is a very serious problem. I'm not taking refuge in the common place that sometimes religious people behave badly and that that would discredit religion, that would be a very soft option. I'm saying that there are specific biblical, scriptural injunctions to do evil.

    HEWITT: Dr. Craig in that regards, those who are announced atheists who have done evil in the world particularly in the last twentieth century—the Marxists, the Trotskyites, the Stalinists—have they done more damage in your view and more evil than Christians?

    CRAIG: Well, this is a debate, Hugh, that I don't want to get into because I think it's irrelevant. I, as a philosopher, and I mean this, am interested in the truth of these world views more than I'm interested in the social impact. And you cannot judge the truth of a world view by its social impact, that's just irrelevant. Bertrand Russell, in his essay "Why I'm Not a Christian" understood this. Russell said you cannot assess the truth of a world view by seeing whether it's good for society or not. Now the irony was when Russell wrote that back in the '20s he was trying to refute those who said that you should be believe in Christianity because it's so socially beneficial to society. It was just the mirror image of Christopher Hitchens' argument, saying you shouldn't believe in it because it's so socially detrimental to human culture. But I think Russell's point cuts both ways because it's a valid point: You can't assess the truth of a world view by arguing about its cultural and social impact. There are true ideas that may have had negative social impact and therefore we have to deal with the truth of these, the arguments for and against them and not get into arguments about has Marxism or Chinese Communism been responsible for more deaths than theism in the twentieth century.

    HITCHENS: No, I completely concur with what you say there. I mean, I just wanted to say that I think those commandments are injunctions to do evil but I would much prefer to say that the tribe that thought it was hearing these instructions from God, to kill all of its rivals, exterminate all its rivals for the Holy Land, might possibly have had, I think it's overwhelmingly probable it did have, the need to seek and claim divine approval for the war of greedy extermination, annexation, and racist conquests it was going to undertake anyway. In other words, I don't think there was an authority issuing that commandment whether it was morally good or otherwise, as a matter of the truth. But I would add, and I think the concession is very well worth having, that there is absolutely no proof at all that Christianity makes people behave better.

    CRAIG: Wait a minute, I didn't concede that.

    HITCHENS: Even thought that's irrelevant to whether it's true.

    CRAIG: I said I wasn't going to argue that, because it's irrelevant but by no means did I concede that. And I do appreciate as well the way you framed the issue the about the Canaanites. I think you're quite right in saying that this is not an issue about whether or not God exists rather this is a question about biblical inerrancy. Did these ancient Israelites get it right in thinking that God had commanded them to do these things or did they, in their nationalistic fervor, think God is on our side and do something which, in fact, they weren't commanded to do by God? So that this isn't an issue between atheism and theism this is an issue about biblical inspiration and inerrancy and that's an important issue but it's not one that is on the floor tonight.

    HEWITT: Our next student question.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 3: Hi, my question is mainly directed at Mr. Hitchens. Christian theism, as with all theisms that claim a revelation say that the purpose of human existence is to serve God, and Dr. Craig might want to expound on that in some way. But Mr. Hitchens, as an atheist with no transcendent being giving you a reason for existence what then is the best way to live life or what is motivation for living life or what is the purpose of your existence without a transcendent being telling you what to do?

    HITCHENS: Well I find it—you see this is where I find it hard to accept the grammar of your question. It's as if, if I was only willing to concede the supernatural—you want to say transcendent, I want to say supernatural—then my life would have purpose. I think that's a complete non sequitur. To me, at any rate, I'll have to just make the confession. This is as real to me subjectively as any William Jamesian apprehension of the divine. I don't get your point at all.

    HEWITT: Dr. Craig, one of the written questions says, and I think it is consistent with the question from the audience: "You've written that life without God is absurd, but I know unbelievers who are living fulfilling moral lives. In what way is their life absurd?"

    CRAIG: Ah. Ok, let me respond to that and to the question here that was asked. I would say that the purpose of life, for which God has created us, is not to serve God. Remember, Jesus said, "I have not called you servants, I have called you friends." And I think the Westminster Confession gets it right when it says the purpose of human existence is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. God is the fulfillment of human existence. It is in fellowship eternally with God, the source of infinite goodness and love, that the true fulfillment of human existence and freedom is to be found. Now, when I say that, apart from theism, life is meaningless, I mean objectively meaningless. This is the same distinction that we're talking about with regard to moral values. I'm saying that on atheism, there is there is no objective purpose to human existence. As Mr. Hitchens recognizes, eventually the universe will grow cold, dilute, dark, and dead as it runs down toward maximum entropy and heat death and all human existence and life will be extinguished on an atheistic view of the future of the universe. There is no purpose for which the universe exists; the litter of a dead universe will just expand into the endless darkness forever, a universe in ruins. Now, of course one can still live one's life as an illusion, thinking, "Well, the purpose of life is to, say, hit forty home runs and steal forty bases every year, you know, in the major leagues," and you draw the meaning of your existence from that but that's not really the meaning of your existence, that's just a subjective illusion. In fact, your existence on atheism is objectively meaningless. So that's the distinction that I was making. Again, it's between objective and mere subjective illusion.

    HITCHENS: Well, I think it has it exactly the wrong way around. You see, as I was beginning to say earlier, we didn't have time in the question period, I wouldn't say that atheism was morally inferior, I wouldn't concede that for a second. I don't want to make a claim for its superiority either, but there may be a slight edge here: We don't believe anything that could be called wishful. In other words, we don't particularly welcome the idea of the annihilation either of ourselves, as individuals—the party will go one, we will have left and we're not coming back—or of the entropic heat death of the universe. We don't like the idea, but there's a good deal of evidence to suggest that is what's gonna happen. And there's very, very little evidence to suggest that I'll see you all again in some theme park, one nice and one nasty experience. There's absolutely no evidence for that at all. So I'm willing to accept on the evidence conclusions that may be unwelcome to me. I'm sorry if I sound as if I'm spelling that out, but I will. Now you want to know what makes my life meaningful? Generally speaking it's been struggling myself to be free and, if I can say it without immodesty—Mr. Hewitt kindly said it for me, too flattteringly beforehand—trying to help others to be free too. That's what given a lot of meaning to my life and does still. Solidarity with those who want to be as free as I am, partly by luck and partly by my own efforts and the efforts of others. Well one obstacle to liberty, and that's why I mentioned it and gave so many examples of it in history and in the present day, is the poisonous role played by fellow primates of mine who think they can tell me what to do in the name of God because God's told them that they have this power. So, that's one thing I'd like to be shot of right here in the here in now. And my suspicion is, if you really ask the religious whether they want power and what's the world they care about, the next one or this one, it'll be this one every time, because they too know perfectly well that this is the only life we've got.

    CRAIG: Yeah, I don't think that's true. It seems to me that, on the basis of the resurrection of Jesus that we have grounds for the hope of immortality. This is the foundation upon which the Christian hope is predicated. So, again, it gets back to whether or not one has good grounds for thinking that Jesus was who he claimed to be and that God raised him from the dead because if he did, then there is hope of immortality.

    HITCHENS: But then, I return your question to me—I return it to you in a different form: If there's going to be a resurrection, an ingathering, if in the end all the injustices will be canceled, all tears dried, all the other promises kept, then why do you care what happens in this brief veil of tears? Why do the churches want power in the here and now? Why do they want to legislate like things for abortion or sexuality or morality? Why bother? I mean, isn't it just as much the case, as Dostoyevsky says about atheism, that without God all things are possible, that with God all things are thinkable to?

    CRAIG: Not at all. As Dostoyevsky said, if there is no immortality, all things are permitted, he said, because it all ends up the same, it all comes out in the wash the same. But, if there is a God who exists, who loves human beings and has created them in his image and endowed them with intrinsic moral value and unalienable rights, then you have every reason to treasure other persons as ends in themselves. And the desire of pro-life persons to champion the lives of the unborn or the lives of the dying isn't a power grab, Mr. Hitchens, it's because they genuinely care about the lives of innocent human beings that they believe are being wantonly destroyed. So it's a very positive motivation.

    HITCHENS: Agreed, agreed, but there are perfectly good humanist motives for doing all those things and if you want to have a reason for caring about the survival and health and well being of others, the idea that you might depend on them for the only life you've got, and they on you for solidarity, is just as good an explanation for right action.

    CRAIG: Now don't you...

    HITCHENS: Par contre, if people think God is telling them what to do, or they have God on their side, what will they not do? That's what I meant by the reverse of the Dostoyevsky question. What crime will not be committed? What offense to justice and to reason will not be, is not regularly committed by people who are convinced that it is God's will that they do that? It's with God that all is possible.

    CRAIG: If they commit such atrocities it is because they only act inconsistently with their world view rather than in line with it.

    HITCHENS: Tell that to...

    CRAIG: Jesus would not have been a guard at Auschwitz or someone who would take away the human rights of another person. You need to ask what kinds of actions are sanctioned by a world view? And on atheism, as Dostoyevsky said, it seems everything is permitted. Humanism, without God as a basis for humanism, is just a form of speciesism (a bias in favor of your own species). I think Christianity affirms the real basis for humanism.

    HITCHENS: Auschwitz is the outcome of centuries in which the Christian Church announced—believed that the Jewish people had called for the blood of Jesus of Nazareth to be on their head for every generation. It's only in one verse in the Bible, I know, but it happens to be the verse the Church picked up on. I don't say Jesus would have been a guard there, that's not the point, the point is that this is not an abberation of religion, it is a scriptural injunction as is the one to kill the Amalekites...

    CRAIG: No, there's no scriptural...

    HITCHENS: As is the one to mutilate the genitals of children.

    CRAIG: It is—the issue is would Jesus have been a guard at Auschwitz because insofar as people who claim to be his followers were guards at Auschwitz, they were acting inconsistently and in defiance of the ethic of Jesus of Nazareth.

    HITCHENS: Well you should tell that to the Vatican. I mean we know—Paul Johnson and his very friendly history of Christianity says that, up to 50 to 60% of the Waffen-SS were practicing, confessing Catholics in good standing. No one was ever threatened with discipline by the church with excommunication, for example, for taking part in the Final Solution. The only Nazi ever excommunicated by the church was Joseph Goebbels and, if you like, I'll tell you why...

    HEWITT: To the student.

    HITCHENS: His wife was a divorced Protestant.

    HEWITT: He was going to tell us anyway.

    HITCHENS: Excuse, excuse me, Christianity does have some standards.

    HEWITT: Next student.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 4: Hi, I'd just like to thank both you guys for being here and in the interest of fairness, I know I'm playing devil's advocate here, pun intended, but I think since almost all the questions are going to be directed towards Mr. Hitchens I think we should have on for Dr. Craig.

    HITCHENS: They're all for both of us.

    AUDIENCE MEMBER 4: For Dr. Craig, what do you think about Epicurus' argument that if God is omnibenevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent, if He knows about kids in Africa, like, that are born with, like, AIDS, what do you think about Him suggesting—like Him not intervening and Him not changing that fact. That's a question that I've always struggled with so I'm just wondering, like, could you expand on that and I'd also like your input on it.

    CRAIG: Yeah. The Problem of Evil and Suffering has been greatly discussed by philosophers and I think there's been genuine progress made in this century on this problem. I think it's important to distinguish between the intellectual problem of suffering and the emotional problem of suffering because these are quite different from each other. In terms of the intellectual problem of suffering, I think that there you need to ask yourself is the atheist claiming, as Epicurus did, that the existence of God is logically incompatible with the evil and suffering in the world? If that's what the atheist is claiming then he's got to be presupposing some kind of hidden assumptions that would bring out that contradiction and make it explicit because these statements are not explicitly contradictory. The problem is no philosopher in the history of the world has ever been able to identify what those hidden assumptions would be that would bring out the contradiction and make it explicit. On the contrary, you can actually prove that these are logically compatible with each other by adding a third proposition, namely, that God has morally sufficient reasons for permitting the evil in the world. As long as that statement is even possibly true, it's proves that there's no logical incompatibility between God and the suffering in the world. So the atheist would have to show that it is logically impossible for God to have morally sufficient reasons for permitting the evil and suffering in the world and no atheist has ever been able to do that. So, that the logical version of this problem, I think, is widely recognized to have failed. Those atheists who still press the problem therefore press it as a probablistic argument. They try to say that, given the evil in the world, it's improbable that God exists, not impossible but improbable. Well, again, the difficulty there is that the atheist has to claim that if God did exist then it is improbable that he would permit the evil and suffering in the world. And how could the atheist possibly know that? How could the atheist know that God would not, if He existed, permit the evil and suffering in the world. Maybe He's got good reasons for it. Maybe, like in Christian theism, God's purpose for human history is to bring the maximum number of people freely into his kingdom to find salvation and eternal life and how do we know that that wouldn't require a world that is simply suffused with natural and moral suffering. It might be that only in a world like that the maximum number of people would freely come to know God and find salvation. So the atheist would have to show that there is a possible world that's feasible for God which God could've created that would have just as much salvation and eternal life and knowledge of God as the actual world but with less suffering. And how could the atheist prove such a thing? It's sheer speculation. So the problem is that, as an argument, the Problem of Evil makes probability judgements which are very, very ambitious and which we are simply not in a position to make with any kind of confidence. Now, I recognize that that philosophical response to the question doesn't deal with the emotional problem of evil and I think that for most people, this isn't really a philosophical problem, it's an emotional problem. They just don't like a god who would permit suffering and pain in the world so they turn their backs on him. What does Christianity have to say to this problem? Well, I think it has a lot to say. It tells us that God is not some sort of an impersonal ground of being or an indifferent tyrant who folds his arms and watches the world suffer. Rather, He is a god who enters into human history in the person of Jesus Christ and what does He do? He suffers. On the cross, Christ bore a suffering of which we can form no conception. Even though He was innocent, He bore the penalty of the sins of the whole world. None of us can comprehend what He suffered. And I think when we contemplate the cross of Christ and His love for us and what He was willing to undergo for us, it puts the problem of suffering in an entirely different perspective. It means, I think, that we can bear the suffering that God calls upon us to endure in this life with courage and with optimism for an eternal life of unending joy beyond the grave because of what Christ has done for us and He will give us, I think, the courage and the strength to get through the suffering that God calls upon us to bear in this life. So, whether it's an emotional issue or intellectual issue I think ultimately Christian theism can make sense out of the suffering and evil in the world.

    HEWITT: As the clock winds down I reserve the last question for myself, Mr. Hitchens.

    HITCHENS: Just on the devil's advocate point, when the Vatican asked me to testify against Mother Teresa, I discovered, which I did, I discovered that the office of devil's advocate has been abolished now. So, I come before you as the only person ever to have represented the devil pro bono.

    HEWITT: Last question.

    HITCHENS: Yeah, now, I'm not one of—I was very intrigued by that reply and largely agree with it. If I was a believer, I would not feel God owed me an explanation. I'm not one of those atheists who thinks you can go around saying—complaining—if you make the assumption that there is a deity then all things are possible, you just have to be able to make that assumption. At our debate in Dallas the other day I mentioned the case of Fräulein Fritzl, the Austrian woman who was imprisoned in a dungeon by her father for quarter of a century and incestuously raped and tortured and kept in the dark with her children for 25 years and I thought—I asked people to imagine how she must have beseeched him, how she must have begged him, and how the children must have, and how they must have prayed, and how those prayers went unanswered, and those beggings and beseechments went unanswered for 25 years and Douglas Wilson's reply to me was, "God will cancel all that and all those tears will be dried," and I said well if you're capable of believing that then obviously what that woman went through and what her children went through was perfectly worth while and her father was all that time, without knowing it, and apparently not particularly wishing it, an instrument of the divine will and as I have said to you before this evening, had occasion to say, you're perfectly free to believe that if you wish.

    HEWITT: To conclude...

    HITCHENS: I do.

    HEWITT: You could, Mr. Hitchens—you've got 4,000 people here, tens of thousands more watching—you could do the same exchange at Wheaton, at Westmont, at Azusa Pacific, at Point Loma, at Notre Dame, at every great Christian university in the United States, why do you think so many people come out to see debates with accomplished people like Dr. Craig and you?

    HITCHENS: It's a time for this great question to come up again. I think there are two reasons for it: one is the emergence of a very aggressive theocratic challenge in various parts of the world. We are about to see a long-feared nightmare come true: The acquisition of apocalyptic weaponry by a Messianic regime in Tehran which is already enslaving and ruining a formerly great civilization. We see the forces of Al Qaeda and related jihadists ruining the societies of Iraq, of Afghanistan, Pakistan. We see Jewish settlers stealing other people's land in the name of God in the hope that this will bring on a Messianic combat and the return of the Messiah. And even in our own country we're not free from people who want to have stultifying nonsense taught to our children in school and in science class. So, there's that, it's in the news all the time. And then there's the existence of a very small group, of which I'm very proud to be a part, that says it's time to take a stand against theocratic bullying and is willing to go anywhere to debate these matters and put these great questions to the proof. So, and thank you for giving me the chance.

    CRAIG: I would answer the question somewhat differently. I think that what we're seeing is the fruit of modernity. In the Enlightenment, The Church and The Monarchy were thrown off in the name of free thought and unshackled human inquiry. And the thought was that once mankind was freed from the shackles and bondage of religion that this would produce a sort of humanistic utopia. And instead I think what we've come to see is the fruit of the naturalistic world view is that mankind is reduced to meaninglessness, valuelessness, and purposelessness and that therefore the question of God's existence has become all the more poignant in our age because we're beginning to question, I think, the fruit of modernity and questioning scientific naturalism. I'm privileged to be part of a revolution in Christian philosophy that has been going on over the last half century that has literally transformed the face of Anglo-American philosophy. As the scientific, naturalistic, atheistic world view has been challenged, in the name of reason and philosophy, and the theistic world view reasserted and I believe that we're seeing a tremendous groundswell of interest among laypeople as this revolution is beginning to filter down to the man in the street. So I would see us as beginning to question the assumptions of modernity and the bitter fruits of modernity that have been so evident in the twentieth century and I'm hoping that this will lead to a tremendous renaissance in Christian thinking and Christian faith.

    HEWITT: To wrap up then, five quick observations and some instructions. Number one: No good society prohibits debates such as this one. Number two: Only confident faith welcomes them. Only extraordinary universities stage them and only very accomplished scholars and intellectuals can make them interesting and entertaining. Please join me in welcoming and thanking our panelists. Both men—they did agree on one thing, which is that N. T. Wright is a very impressive man, I think Christopher Hitchens said, and therefore to the viewing audience who might not know who N. T. Wright I would recommend, on Mr. Hitchens' strong recommendation, that you get and read his books. I also want to tell you that I'm going to ask you to stay in your seats as our panelists exist stage right. There's a book signing and I want to ask you if you have book to stand in line if you don't, please don't and to recognize Mr. Hitchens has a five o'clock flight in the morning. So, get your book signed, he loves to do that, but please don't ask him about his third cousin that you once met in Melbourne. Just let them get to talking about the book so gentlemen I'm going to let you enter stage left here and I'll hold them for a second. Thank you very much. Stay there so they can get around back. Finally, I want to thank Dr. Craig Hazen, Torrey Honors Institute, and everyone at Biola for coming out this evening. Have a safe, productive trip home. Good night.

    1. i noticed he could the late mr hitchens could be "grateful for your kindness and hospitality" to a roomful of people, but mooch off God's wonderful Creation without a public word of thanks. i see any atheist as the quintessential Fool of Proverbs, making a big smoke screen of braying against the Father, in order to distract his more gullible fellows (how he sees them anyway!) from the fact that he doesn't want to repent & stop doing wrong things! but God is not fooled!

    2. my youtube channel is called innermittensignal. here's what i have to say:

      deceived by the devil, a man offends His Creator. what to do, what to do?

      let's say on your way to your boss's party, you hear a crying sound as you pull out of your drive! your rival at work it seems kidnapped the boss's pet & put it under the wheels! but you don't even yet realize how it could have happened! you have squashed his pet!...can you now face him at the office party? more facts you don't realize: the boss is not so stupid & has captured the kidnapping on security cam! you may have avoided that party, but now you have a call on your answer machine from the boss: "please come & see me at my office!" He intends to vindicate you, but you think He intends to have you arrested or fined or at least reprimanded! & news update: your rival suspects he has been found out, & also rings you to "warn" you what big trouble you are in! maybe your emotions will make you panic & listen to him! but maybe with a little intelligence & calming down & bravery, you will stop to think..."hey! how did HE know i ran over fluffy?!!!" it's the same with getting back to being friendly with & obeying God! we have an Enemy down here! it's REALLY obvious if you stop & think about it...

    4. Man. Dr. William Lane Craig at his finest. I thank God for Dr. Craig's existence, because Craig is putting logical reasoning into Christianity, especially in ways that are comprehensible to the common person. Dr. Craig is putting atheists to shame who claim that Christianity is illogical. Way to go Dr. Craig!

    8. Having been a pastor at 3 mega churches and now an Atheist, I truly wish Christians would listen to Hitchens arguments instead on dismissing him with baseless faith arguments. All I can say is that I consider myself to me more of moral person now as an Atheist compared to when I pastored. I now have an all encompassing love and compassion for all people without any concern or barrier of whether or not they believe Jesus was divine or not. I now serve as a chaplain, and devote my life with helping ALL religious and non-religious people understand a deeper truths to their lives.

    10. It's funny how W. Craig has a very forcefully, rhetorical tone of voice and expression while essentially just saying the god of the gaps argument, very well thought out, apologist tactics, but that's still what they are. Where as C. Hitchens is more reserved and probably the most convincing debater, you can almost feel a surge of enlightenment listening to him, the amazing difference is he's not debating to be right, it's like he's there because he loves the debate, dispelling mythologies and what not. One thing he's so right in saying that what's more interesting is the psychology of the faithful than their claims.

    33. Astrology solutions are very effective for resolving or averting extramarital affairs of husband or wife, in present and future years. Vedic astrology contains opulent information about certain situations which might become responsible for the extra marital affairs of any married partner in future.

      The fact is also noteworthy that our veteran astrologer Pt. Somesh Sharma is hugely renowned in countries all across the globe for his briskly effective astrological solutions to diverse problems.

      Besides astrology, many other complex fields such as numerology, psychic reading, vastu, vashikaran, natural and psychic healing, etc. are also served by him over many years.guru somesh ji call+919988654642
