Re: What's the proof?
Comfort did nothing except repeat his normal sermon.
He started with a definition of scientific as "producing knowledge" and then used that definition as the basis for his "evidence"
  • creation produces knowledge of a creator
  • a conscience produces knowledge of a need for the creator's forgiveness
  • conversion produces knowledge of god experientially
He didn't pull out the banana but he did pull out the coke can (and his satire "theory" that the can evolved over millions of years).
The atheist team called themselves the The Rational Response Squad. They were responsible for The Blasphemy Challenge.
The debate was held in a church but the audience was a mixed house of Christians and atheists. The squad got a lot more applause and audience response than Comfort / Cameron.
They did not prove anything, they went straight to the use of faith and the bible. Cameron did talk about science. He basically showed his total and complete non-understanding of evolution and science. At one point he brought out graphics of expected transitionals, such as a "croca-duck" and a bull-frog totally unlike the one we have currently . At this point one member of the squad audibly groaned and mumbled something about a "numb-nut."
They are, however, offering $10,000 to anyone who can produce a genuine "living transitional."

Re: Critical Thinking vs Comfort zones
Except that there was an obvious winner within 5 minutes of Comfort opening his mouth. HE called for this debate to "prove" the existence of god with OUT using faith or the bible. He lost. Cameron's side show was just comic relief.
