Be sure to mark May 5 on your calendar as it’s sure to be a day of fun. Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron will be debating RRS members Brian Sapient and Kelly.
After ABC ran a story in January about hundreds of atheists videotaping themselves blaspheming the Holy Spirit, best-selling author Ray Comfort contacted the network and offered to prove God’s existence, absolutely, scientifically, without mentioning the Bible or faith. He and Kirk Cameron (co-hosts of an award-winning Christian TV program) challenged the two originators of the “Blasphemy Challenge” to a debate on the existence of God. According to Comfort, he and Cameron (an ex-atheist) are qualified to debate on the subject. Comfort had not only written a book titled “God Doesn’t Believe in Atheists”, but had spoken at Yale on the subject of atheism, and been flown by American Atheists, Inc., to their 2001 annual convention to be a platform speaker.

As you may know, Comfort and Cameron became a bit notorius when they released a short video where they try to disprove evolution with a genetically engineered banana which they dubbed the “Atheist’s Nightmare”:
I hope Sapient and Kelly have boned up the Ten Commandments and Creationism as that appears to be Comfort and Cameron’s routine:
The other two parts can be found here and here. As I said above, this should be fun.

Ah, thanks for posting this. I saw something about this the other day, although the other debate team hadn’t been announced, and I promptly lost/forgot about it.
I hope that this “proof” doesn’t turn into the typical Comfortesque “have you lied? Then you’re a liar, only Jesus will save you from hellfire” gibberish that form most of his “arguments”.
