An old debate but surprisingly relevant today
This was an all-star debate about evolution and I really enjoyed it. The debate was also interesting because the way the two sides came at the debate. William F. Buckley's team starts out thinking that evolution requires that we accept there are only materialist forces and therefore precludes the role of God in creation. While the scientist on the other side Kenneth Miller obviously believes in only materialist causes are at work in evolution his team of completely disavow this position and freely admit that God could have been involved in all aspects of evolution; yet they argue as if only materialistic causes were in play. Along with Kenneth Miller, Eugenie Scott and Michael Ruse are all atheists, Barry Lynn is not. Barry is the person that sounds the most incoherent in the debate because he insists that belief in God is compatible with evolution but constantly argues during the debate as if God had nothing to do with evolution and we were the product of random chance...
