Craig_s Calamitous Cock-Up -- Bayes_ Theorem and the resurre
There was a debate between William Lane Craig vs Bart Ehrman on the historicity of Jesus' Resurrection. About 40 minutes into the debate, Craig pulled out a probability proof that it would be more probable for the resurrection of Jesus.
Was Craig's mathematics correct?
Here is someone who really knows mathematics - probability in fact!

Is The Bible Still Relevant Today?
I hope it were Christopher Hitchens instead of Richard Dawkins attending this BBC One debate. Dawkins is just too polite and gently that he has not gotten the message across strongly.
If you want to claim the decency of modern western civilization as coming from the bible, you cannot discount the same cultural teachings were the basis of genocides that European conquerors inflicted on lesser advanced cultures everywhere they went.

Burden of Proof
I was having a lively debate with Zama over the other post since 21st August until now (about 17 days). You can view the complete debate here. Now that his college is about to start, we shall stop our discussion now.
One issue that we cannot resolve is the 'burden of proof" of the existence of god. As in most debate between theist and atheist, the religious usually will push the burden of proof to the unbeliever. My position is that man created god, an imagination. Just like I cannot disprove the existence of the pink unicorn in real life (yes, the pink unicorn exists in someone's imagination), I cannot disprove the existence of god.
Is there a way to convince the theists that they have the burden of proof?
