William Lane Craig, Richard Dawkins and the Empty Chair (the video)

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

Will Richard Dawkins finally engage in a scholarly one-to-one discussion with William Lane Craig when he visits Oxford? It would appear not, and even some fellow atheists seem to think he's making a big mistake. This is the story, so far, but what will come next?

This video was made by the audience member who asked Richard Dawkins about why he would not debate William Lane Craig (see video). It expresses his personal view.

Mr Dawkins is well used to refusing to debate, particularly when he will be debating with a believer whom is an academic. The normally media attention craving individual declined an invitation to appear on Revelation television, but only after he learned with whom he would be debating. To me it only reinforces the sillyness which is his proposition.

it would be a great debate. I guess Dawkins doesn't want to tarnish his reputation but by refusing he does anyway.
