Now I think most people are familiar with Christopher Hitchens and
his arguments – he is widely regarded as the top atheist debater in the

regarded as the top defender of Christianity in the world, although
many people are unfamiliar with his arguments. Here is a written
explanation of the five arguments he uses in the debate with
Hitchens, if you want to follow along. This is a good debate for any of
you who have never seen a debate on God’s existence before.
