I watched it. It was like banging your head against a wall, over & over & over. She won't listen to anything dawkins said, he kept telling her so many times about all the evidence but she still kept saying there's no evidence! And then she goes, I think its very demeaning when you claim that we don't read or we're ignorant. Lol! What a joke

The funniest part was, whenever Dawkins would bring up the transitional fossils, instead of talking about them she would go 'why is it so important for you that everyone accepts evolution' lol.

Ok, I watched a few minutes of the first vid and she's obviously just going to spout the standard YEC drivel ad infinitum.

Dawkins made one major error when he said "But don't you have to contend with the facts?"

Nope. Sorry. This sort of person avoids contending with the facts.

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

Well I wouldn't say it's an error. Dawkins is an educator, so he's nature is to persuade everyone to open their minds.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh . I can't believe I have watched the whole thing it was like trying to blow into a balloon with holes in it. Too much appeal to emotions(handicapped girl), dodging answers and refutes about found transitional fossils and evidence, trying to butt in morality and spirituality(whatever the fuck that means) into a debate about a SCIENTIFIC topic, using the 'you think we don't read' when she isn't even knowledgable about DNAs and shit, arguing about the moral aspects of Darwinism when Dawkins said almost 4 times that he DOESN'T AGREE WITH THEM AND THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EVOLUTION BEING TRUE OR NOT.

Seriously the worst debate I have ever seen. I am sure a 10-year-old kid would do better than her in a debate.

Also I really can't understand why the hell were they standing the whole time, I reckon two chairs and a table aren't that hard to provide.

Well the table and chairs were problematic. Dawkins was waiting from them to evolve and Wright was waiting for God to create them.

Hmmm...that's interesting! I have seen several of Dawkins' discussions/debates where both persons were standing up. For example, the Dawkins vs. McGrath debate, the Dawkins vs. Ted Haggard debate, the discussion between Dawkins and Derren Brown, the discussion between Dawkins and Randolph Nesse.
