degsme: Armstrong wouldn't do all that well either because her arguement is ahistoric and presumes a positivist religion.

I beg to differ…

This is really why Hitchens does not debate Armstrong (and if a guy named Jeremy comes along, this is called satire, I am making this up, Hitchens and Armstrong did not really say this, again I repeat…this is called satire):

Moderator: Do you believe in Creationism?

Hitchens: No.

Armstrong: No

Moderator: Do you believe in a concept called “God”?

Hitchens: No.

Armstrong: Yes.

Moderator: Why?

Hitchens: Because it is unscientific in that as a hypothesis it is not falsifiable.

Armstrong: (Beaming) Exactly!
