Bertot pointed me to a debate between two people about "the existence of god".
In this debate one of the participants, namely Mr. Warren, had asked his opponent 10 questions. I would like to give answers to these myself, as I think Mr. Flew (the one who answered these questions) gave some pretty lousy answers to them.
First of all, here's the entire debate:

The questions are all brought up during Mr. Warren's first speech.
I will reproduce the questions and my answers here:
This is the morality part, there is also an evolution part.
1) True or false: Value did not exist before the first human being.This is false. If he had said before there was intelligence, I would've agreed with him.
2) True or false: In murdering 6 million Jewish men women and children, the Nazis were guilty of real, objective, moral wrong.False. There is no objective moral wrong.
3) In torturing and or murdering 6 million Jews, the Nazis were guilty of violating:
The law of Germany
The law of England
The law of the United States
The law of god
Some other law
No law at allNow, I don't know what all these laws were at the time, so I would have to go with "No law at all". The reason we could convict the Nazis was quite simple. We won the war.
8) Each one of us has a real moral objective obligation to become an atheist, so that if he does not become such, he becomes guilty of real objective moral wrong.False. There is no objective moral right or wrong, therefore, one cannot have that obligation.
9) Real objective evil exists.False.
10) From the concept of god and the actual existence of subjective evil, one can soundly deduce the non existence of god.Since there is no universal concept of god, this question makes no sense to me.
Now that you have my answers, I would like to discuss the points raised by these questions and my answers to them. Do you agree or disagree, and why?
