Virginia Commonwealth University debate from 9. 10. 2008. Religion vs. science.

Christopher Hitchens was a British-American author and journalist who wrote or edited over 30 books (including five essay collections) on culture, politics, and literature. Hitchens described himself as an anti-theist, who saw all religions as false, harmful and authoritarian. He argued for free expression and scientific discovery, and asserted that they were superior to religion as an ethical code of conduct for human civilisation. He also advocated separation of church and state. The dictum "What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence" has become known as Hitchens's razor.

Frank Turek is an American apologist, author, public speaker, and radio host. He is best known as the founder and president of Christian apologetics ministry CrossExamined.org. Turek co-authored two books (Legislating Morality and I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist) with Christian philosopher Norman Geisler. In addition, Turek has authored two of his own books (Correct, Not Politically Correct and Stealing from God), Turek hosts a call-in talk show called CrossExamined on American Family Radio, and television show, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, which airs on the NRB Network.
