A debate between David Wood and Michael Shermer.

I’ll summarize it and save you a couple of hours:

Wood suggests that Christian theology is responsible for the creation of science.

Wood quotes from all big name science guys who pioneered the scientific method.

Shermer ignores all the quotes from scientists because they’re “irrelevant”.

Shermer says that Christian influence in the development of science is just coincidence.

Shermer proceeds to describe a Christian theology that nobody holds.

Shermer explains how devastating the ‘God of the Gaps’ is to theology.

Wood explains that the ‘God of the Gaps’ was originally a criticism of theists by OTHER THEISTS.

Shermer keeps ascribing ‘God of the Gaps’ to Christians anyway.

Shermer complains about human suffering.

Wood notes that Shermer needs a God in order to register a complaint about suffering.

Shermer mentions the ‘God of the Gaps’ again.

Shermer suggests that believing in invisible dragons is just like believing in God.

Shermer asks Wood if he would cheat on his wife should he convert to atheism.

(Demonstrating that Shermer hadn’t seen Wood’s testimony video.)

Ha Ha!  Of course, he wouldn’t cheat!  He’s a nice guy!

That confirms, according to Shermer, we don’t need God to be moral.

The debate ends.

YouTube commenters on both sides claim victory according to their personal bias.
