Hopefully, the Tufts Freethought Society will be hosting Professor Dawkins next year!

A shame that such talented scientists have to waste their time disproving nonsense.

I don't think Dennett's "point" was proving the resolution, in fact I think he had much bigger goals.

Just a question to all:

Do you think Dennett did better than Shermer and/or Hitchens?

MarcCountry:

The intelligent audience was put off by Dinesh's fillibustering, loudness, constant analogies, asking questions back to the questioner, and mocking voices.

SameerMarathe:

1. I said they were authorities in their fields. I never indicated the level of authority. Remember, as President of the Freethought Society at Tufts, I have to seem bipartisan or religious groups on campus or around can say I was being unfair.

2. This debate also brought great promotion for our group and we really wanted Daniel Dennett to be involved. To do both, Dinesh was needed. For future debates that you will see (you will enjoy the fact that Tufts will have numerous debates over the next few years) different debaters debate different topics.

Hey guys,

I was Pat Andriola, the President of the Freethought Society that opened the debate.

What'd you guys think about it overall? I know what you think of D'Souza, but how about all the other stuff that went on?

11. This Friday: Debate between Dan Dennett and Dinesh D'Souza

And thanks for the kind words.

And to everyone criticizing the debate, I understand your point. You feel D'Souza is a bumbling fool who is not worthy of debating Dennett. But let us keep in mind that this will be Dennett's first major debate, something very notable for us who have only seen him give short lectures, and that D'Souza will have to defend god's exsitence, not religion's effect on the world.

And also, be careful what you say. Big Brother is apparently watching:
