Following in the same vein as my last post, here are some debates about the existence of God featuring Antony Flew. I'm posting them because I've heard of Flew but I've never
heard Flew. Here's about all I know (taken from his
Wikipedia page):
So let's see what made him the forerunner of the New Atheist movement, shall we?

So I happened on an atheist audio debate site that has
400+ debates between theists and atheists, including several by my favorite atheist debater Christopher Hitchens. It's just so hard not to like the guy. Of the debates of his I've heard, the 2007 one with Catholic Dinesh D'Souza is my favorite (for entertainment purposes only) -- though I hear the debate between Hitchens and Protestant William Lane Craig (not listed below) at Biola earlier this year was the best in content and form. I'm still looking for that one.
But without further ado, here are the links to the Hitchens debates:

Here's another debate featuring the atheist rapier of wit

Westminster Theological Seminary.

AUDIO ONLY:You can listen to the
introduction by Scott Oliphant Full debateand the
Q & A session

As a reminder, you can get a copy of Janet Smith's talk
CONTRACEPTION: WHY NOT on CD
for free from the folks at
One More Soul. Makes a good item to inconspicuously slip into that book on your friend's desk.
...just sayin'.
UPDATE:
It appears the talk is no longer available there. Listen to
it free online HERE.
May God richly bless Fr. Corapi in this age and in the age to come.

Filipino Catholic, a frequent tipster here at Sonitus Sanctus, sent me a link to the following debate. I listened to it and then forgot about it. Thankfully, FC reminded me that I didn't share. That said, here ya' go:

William "Wild Bill" Albrecht wrote in and let me know about a recent debate of his with
TurretinFan from
Alpha and Omega Ministries (the patristically dishonest "ministry" of the Right Reverend Reformed Baptist Bishop James "Dr." White). Rock and roll! I love debates and I love the Blessed Virgin (Hi Mom!) -- how could this get better?!? Wild Bill writes:
Does the Bible Teach that We are to Venerate Mary?
This is the first in a number of debates we have planned. We will be debating the MARIAN DOGMAS very soon, you can announce that also if you'd like. Those will be much longer. Each DOGMA will be roughly about 2 and a half hours long and we will start debating that in July,

We the students of the University of Notre Dame have called for a Rosary Crusade in response to the recent announcement of the honoring of President Obama on our campus. During the Rosary Crusade, which began on Wednesday of Holy Week and will last until Sunday May 17th (the day of President Obama's commencement address at ND), we will be praying the Rosary each day for the following three intentions:
1) The conversion of heart of President Obama regarding the sanctity of life.
2) For the Catholic character of the University of Notre Dame.
3) For a greater respect for the dignity of human life from conception until natural death around the world.
We truly believe we can have 1,000,000 Rosaries prayed by May 17th, but we need people to know about our campaign in order for that to happen. We at Notre Dame realize that the scandal given by the honoring of President Obama extends much further than the Notre Dame campus and we recognize that we, the students, have been given the great opportunity to be leaders (at least for this small portion of time) in the Catholic Pro-life movement around the world. Please encourage your readers to join with us in praying the Rosary for these intentions and logging the number of Rosaries they have prayed on our website at http://ndresponse.com/counter/ . Facebook users are encouraged to join our event. If any good is going to come from this situation, that good will be motivated and brought about by prayer, especially the prayer of the Rosary.
No mission or cause is too great for God, least of all the cause of those who are the weakest amongst us. We trust Our Lady will watch over us and recommend our prayers to Her Beloved Son.
