Ray Comfort's recent book "You Can Lead an Atheist to Evidence But You Can't Make Him Think" has caused quite a stir among the faith community of atheists (it takes a lot of faith to believe we came from nothing) and rocketed to #1 in Amazon's atheist category.
This, of course, prompted a smear campaign of atheists bombarding Amazon's website with one star ratings for a book they've never read. Ray Comfort has done a lot of interviews and debates with respect to his book and from those I have heard so far he is doing a sterling job. I must admit, though, that you have to feel sorry for atheists in a debate - after all it's hard to argue that everything came from nothing, that order can come out of chaos, and that my great great grandmother had a hairy back. It certainly takes a lot of faith to be an atheist!Ray Comfort was also the subject of a recent story on New Zealand's version of the current affairs program "60 Minutes". It is a really positive media piece on an evangelist. But the best part is seeing Ray riding his kid's bike to work!

I would love to see a debate between dawko and ray. The atheists arguments never change. They have nothing that has not been refuted time and time again. I would have loved to have seen more of the gospel in the 60 minutes interview. But I am glad that it showed the ministry in such a good light.
Don't forget that Dawkins mostly feels "setup" by various creationists so the onus is on them to provide a pertinent platform - not the other way around. You can see this with regards to "Expelled" and the context of the actual question - rather than what was shown. Personally I'm wondering why it's important that creationists debate people like Dawkins at all. Smacks of desperation to me.
O well
