Debating an atheist: part deux

Posted May 3rd, 2007 @ 3:14 pm by James

In what, I’m afraid may be a “sweeps” stunt, UPI is reporting that . . .

    Actor Kirk Cameron and author Ray Comfort will square off in New York with two atheists to debate the existence of God live on ABC.com.

    The debate will be Wednesday after the network rescheduled it from Saturday to capture a larger audience, Comfort said in a news release.

    Comfort, who says he can prove God exists scientifically, said ABC originally offered him four minutes to present his case. After conferring with Cameron and the atheists, the time was raised to 13 minutes.

    “I’m ecstatic. I can prove the existence of God in that amount of time,” Comfort said.

ABC.com has nothing on it’s Web site, or on its search engine, concerning the event.

Christian News Wire, however, is reporting:

    ABC loved the idea, and will host a debate in New York City on May 5, 2007. Moderated by Martin Bashir, the debate will be streamed LIVE on their website and will also be filmed for “Nightline.”

Stay tuned . . .
