Live Webcast - Does a Good God Exist?

By DR. WILLIAM DEMBSKI AND CHRISTOPHER HITCHENS - PRESTONWOOD CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
Updated: Friday, 07 January 2011 at 4:31 PM

A video of a debate between Christopher Hitchens and William Dembski on the question of whether a good god exists is now available on the Prestonwood Christian Academy website. Thanks to Bernard Hurley and Ranting Socrates for the link.

Many of you will remember the debate between Dr. (yes, really) William Dembski and Christopher Hitchens which was broadcast live over the Net and pulicised at RDFRS: http://richarddawkins.net/videos/551390-live-webcastdoes-a-good-god-exist

Many more, like me, will not have had the exact time available to see the live broadcast, and will have been frustrated at the Prestonwood Christian Academy's action of putting the video behind a pay wall. Then they removed it all together: http://pcawebcast.com/2010debate/ (ps. catch the amusing spelling error too)

Why, you may wonder, did a Christian Academy not want to promote Dr. Dembski - the Poster-Boy for Creationism?

I have regularly looked round the Net for a copy of the debate to find out, until today without success. Then a funny thing happened.

A couple of people (the first appear to have beenandposted critiques of the debate. Presumably they managed to download the debate, before it was taken off-line by the Christian Academy. It turns out that Christopher Hitchens was on form - and Dr. Dembski was trounced (who'd have thought).

These critical analyses got right up the Christian Academy's nasal passage. They got busy sending gagging notices (DMCA notices complaining about copyright infirngment - those who followed the Thunderf00t / VenomFangX debate will remember these instruments of corporate censorship) and suddenly they upset a lot of people and the Streisand effect has now kicked in - see: http://www.thestreisandeffect.com/about/

Now it's everywhere - and not just a hundred times on YouTube.

Sorry about that, I've got a very slow connection. Last I check most peers were at about 87%.

Thanks for the upload, happy to seed.

I just found this torrent, I will seed as long as there are leechers so long as I can get 100% done. Thanks and thanks for posting a decent quality version of this.

My download finally completed today, I will be seeding this from now on for anyone that wants it.

It makes you realise how much the world will miss Christopher Hitchens. Speaking without notes (unlike Dr Dembski), incisive and clear thinking (ditto), unfailingly polite (ditto again), Hitch takes every point in the Creationist/Religious apologist canon and answers it to devastating effect. I can entirely understand why Prestonwood would not want anyone looking at this debate: they must have had students heading for the hills in droves!
