I often watch debates between atheists and religious people on youtube. I find them quite entertaining. I can't help but wondering why would a rational atheist engage in a debate with an irrational religious advocate in an attempt to prove them wrong when it is obvious that the battle is lost from the very beginning. When Richard Dawkins asked a muslim person "do you think that Mohammed went to heaven on a winged horse" and his answer was "Yes" how can you expect that person to atribute any sort of value to your scientifinc evidence.

Here in Spain I used to love watching "The Big Question" on TV in the days when the audience was separated into two camps, gullibles and non-gullibles.
Nothing was ever resolved, of course, but it made an exceedingly entertaining background to my late Sunday breakfasts.

I’m sure you’ve seen Cleese and Palin vs Muggeridge and a bishop discussing Life Of Brian. If not it is classic.

I have no idea why they do this, besides the part where it helps them sell books.

The product units to move! Does seem to be the constant here. It’s the erudite equivalent to being a guest on Jonathan Ross or Graham Norton.
