I just listened to this Intelligence Squared Debate. I found it fascinating. Would be interested in the points of view of others. The title speaks for itself. The proposition being debated is whether or not humanity continues to need god as we continue to move forward with our understanding of the universe and science. I surprised to find that 47% agreed with the proposition before the debate, 31% disagreed, and 22% were undecided. After the debate, 67% agree, 26% disagreed, and 7% were undecided.
Personally, I think the two speaking against the proposition brought a philosophical argument to the table that was way over the head of the listening audience.
