becky garrison highlights on the god's politics blog that abc will be showing in their first episode of a series called "face off" will be the Christians and the Atheists. in the right corner of representing the Christians is non other than my favorite (& cole's) voices & practitioners the fellas from way of the master. in the left corner representing the atheist community comes the folks from the rational response squad. both have their claims to fame, the process for saving souls in a cold conversation & deductive logic or the blasphemy challenge. so how did it go?
Watching these teams of non-scientists try to explain evolution versus intelligent design proved to be laughable at best. My favorite bit had to be when Kirk Cameron disputed evolution by showing pictures of a "crock-a-duck" and other nonexistent creatures that he claims prove evolution is a fallacy.
Even though the atheists failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that God could not have been the spark that set all of creation, they seem to have nailed this debate when Cameron pulled out the get-out-of-hell card. Simply put, this was “what you believe about God will determine where you spend eternity.” At this point, if I wasn’t covering this event, I would have crawled out of the church in shame. While this is supposed to be an ABC news program, I felt like I had entered a rather lame taping of Saturday Night Live instead. I honestly felt that at any moment Cameron was going to demonstrate the Church Lady’s Superiority Dance.
