On Debates, Differences, and Dismissals
Unlike my reaction to the previous debate, I was pleasantly surprised by Dawkins v. Collins. There was mutual respect.

It was clear they generally share the same understanding of evolution and science. They also share a common pursuit of truth, especially around the biggest question, Is there a God?.
