Peter Atkins vs Stephen Meyer on the radio (UK)

This wasn't so much a debate between Atkins and Meyer, as an hour-long promo for a certain propoganda film with occassional bouts of scientific talk from the token skeptic, who is placed in conversation with no less than three dedicated creationists, one of whom is the host and producer of the show. If ever I pull such a one-sided stunt on my show feel free to hang me in effigy and label me as a hypocrite and a fool. In any event, this episode was more-or-less much worth my time, because it provided a reasonably concise and accurate summary of the positions articulated by both naturalists and intelligent design creationists.

Atkins vs. McGrath in Edinburgh, Scotland

 

Contra the dittoheads over at Dawkins website, this debate notably lacked coherent arguments for the positions being taken by each speaker. Mostly, the theist and the atheist spent most of the time demonstrating inconsistencies or flaws in the other side's worldview, instead of making an argument for their own.

AGNOSTIC WIN!
