PZ sez that Dembski is even dumber than he'd thought, to go up against Hitchins. Having read a fair amount of both their writings, I'm inclined to agree.
Afterward, Dembski can go back to Uncommon Deceit Descent and claim an astounding victory.
It'll be fun....

Well, 10 minutes in already, and I've heard nothing but an introduction of the whole thing and some snippets of piano music.
I wonder if, maybe, high demand is crushing the server. |

25 minutes, and Opie's Caleb's introduction is being re-played.
It's about using this debate as "practice" against the "other team" (atheism). |

It's going now with Hitchen's opener.

Dembski: "buy my book!"
Geez, he's just going through a litany of creationist talking points.
ETA he thinks he's making good responses to points in one of Hitchens' books. |

Every bit of which has been explained. Move along, folks; nothing to see here.

I'd love to see this video annotated.
Just popped in to see what it was all about, and found Dembski ranting half-truths about junk-DNA, the Cambrian explosion, and the light sensitivity of the eye.
It sounded mostly like a Gish-gallop to me.

I'm enjoying his attacks on atheists in general and Hitchins in particular.

Dembski defines ID: "The study of patterns in nature that are best explained by intelligence."
Well then, before ID can get started, they'll have to demonstrate that there are any "patterns in nature that are best explained by intelligence."
I really enjoy how he's shooting himself in the foot like that. |

| Dembski's "rebuttal" only directly addressed what Hitch said for a few minutes (and missed Hitch's points every time), then Dembski was back to reading a prepared speech. |

Fittingly, my feed has frozen with Dembski staring at his prepared speech.
