Web: God says debate a slam dunk

Thank God! Somebody's finally coming to the Almighty's defense.

Actor Kirk Cameron (Left Behind series, Growing Pains) and best-selling author Ray Comfort (Intelligent Design vs. Evolution - Letters to an Atheist) will square off with two atheists in New York on Saturday, May 5. ABC will broadcast the entire debate on ABC.com on Wednesday, May 9 at 1 p.m. EST. A shortened version of the debate will be aired later on Nightline.

Comfort, who claims he can prove the existence of God scientifically, without mentioning faith or the Bible, will be given 13 minutes to do so. "We will not only prove that God exists, but as an ex-atheist I'll show that the issue keeping so many people from believing in God--Darwinian evolution--is completely unscientific. It's a fairy-tale for grownups."

But, uh, what's Kirk Cameron gonna do? Show evidence of the divine by combining sacred dance, performance art and presumption... or something?

We'll see. But God assures me, He's relieved. It's a slam dunk.

Meanwhile, while you're waiting, enjoy Comfort's Intelligent Design vs. Evolution Board Game (see photo at right).

I got an email about this today. Wow 13 minutes to debunk science and prove the existence of God. If only Aquinas had known it would be this easy. I suppose Kirk will read a bit of Tim LaHaye, certainly that will prove convincing!

But then again, as I channel surf I seem to remember that Kirk has become one of America's great theologians.
