    He didn't say anything that I quoted.
    The bloke introducing him suggested that nobody questions evolution.
    That's just openly and obvious nonsense. You're well aware of that.

    As for the man himself, he's just rehashing creationist crap, but from a slightly different source.
    All rather dull, I'm afraid. Lots of false claims about being oppressed and conspiracy nonsense about science.

    It was the guy introducing him i was referring to as you quoted him, I say quoted but it was just the bit that suited.

    People like you see evolution theory as fact but its never been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and even your mate Dawkins has lost or failed in many a debate

    I left out the next bit because it was even more embarrassing.
    He compared it to gravity, saying that one was merely a theory, while the other was a fact.
    They're both theories. The current model for gravity is actually debated, too.

    Who has Dawkins lost a debate about evolution to and how did you reach that conclusion?

    I suggest you listen again and as you did with your initial post and transcribe

    Dawkins has lost many a debate and I was either their or listened to it. He lost to a rabbi in oxford (student vote) and even denied it took place until the rabbi posted the vid

    He also lost to agnostic berlinski (sp) when he tore him apart

    Why would I want to listen again and transcribe? I've heard it. So have you.
    If you think that I've made a mistake, then point it out. You're doing exactly what you've criticised DMD for.
    You're mirror images of each other.

    I didn't ask you who Dawkins had lost a debate to, I asked who he'd lost a debate to on evolution.
    The Schmuley debate was titled Do We Need God To Be Good.
    I can't find anything about Berlinski and Dawkins having a debate. He had one with Hitchens. Perhaps that's what you mean?

    No it was David berlinski, shmuley debated him twice. Title of debate and those involved suggests they would indeed discuss evolution

    Posting bits of a point is disingenuous no?

    Is there a vid of the debate as Hitchens is so far up his own arse to accept defeat if it ever happened.

    I posted the first relevant bit and pointed out that I'd cut him off as soon as he'd ****ed up.
    How is that disingenuous?

    When and where did Berlinski debate Dawkins? I can't find any evidence of it.

    How does Do We Need God To Be Good relate to evolution?

    It was out of context and as I asked, and you have not answered as per your MO, what was wrong or as you now say ****ed up?

    It was berlinski Dawkins and another evolution bloke whose name escapes me, only because I am tucking into a piri piri burger. Both got shut the **** up

    As for your last question, you really have to ask that with Dawkins involved? WTF dude are you a ****ing moron?

    Actually don't answer that last one, I know tgd answer

    How was it out of context? In what way did the context change what he said.
    In fact, it actually made it worse, as I went on to point out.

    Could you actually back up a single point in this thread, please?
    This debate happened, but you don't know where, when, who was involved or what it was about and Dawkins lost? Great.

    Even if that was true, in what way does that change anything about evolution?
    It's a fact. Get over it.

    Transcribe it all not just bits, go on I dare you

    I didn't make a point, you did (based on a few words) I asked what was wrong in what he said (all of what he said) you have failed to answer, as per

    Evolution is a theory with gaps, fact

    Good try no cookie. Oxford doesn't quite work like that

    Besides they debated twice

    Dawkins got battered both times, trued to deny one debate, compared the rabbi to Hitler too once

    I see why you like him and copy his style

    Why would I transcribe it? We can both watch it.
    What part of it do you have an issue with? Stop being pointlessly evasive, DMD-lite.

    I've already told you what was wrong with what he said. WTF?

    What gaps are there in the theory of evolution?

    Another baseless claim. Boring.

    It was a debate involving four people, one of whom formed the hosting society, who voted on the outcome.
    They were asked how many of them had changed their minds. Do you know how the vote went?

    You transcribed a few words and dismissed it.
    What's wrong with what he said? Not just what you transcribed but all of what he said?

    That was my initial question which you haven't addressed. Can you address it?
