Richard Dawkins and Public Debates

Message to Richard Dawkins: Dinesh D'Souza appears to find your recent behavior relative to public debates rather bizarre. D'Souza wrote: "To be honest, I find your behavior extremely bizarre. You go halfway around the world to chase down televangelists to outsmart them in an interview format that you control, but given several opportunities to engage the issues you profess to care about in a true spirit of open debate and inquiry, you duck and dodge and run away." [11] D'Souza further writes concerning you: "When he is confronted with history, philosophy, and logic, Dawkins seems to have very little to say."[12] Next, D'Souza appears to indicate that you are a "showman who takes on unprepared and unsuspecting opponents when you yourself control the editing, but when a strong opponent shows up you manufacture reasons to avoid him." [13] Lastly, D'Souza has written: "So why doth Dawkins languish in his corner, attended by sycophants? Tremble not, Sir Richard. 'Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant do taste of death but once.'"[14]

Mr. Dawkins, Conservapedia wishes to examine the above claims of Dinesh D'Souza. Could you please provide Conservapedia with a list of Christian or Jewish scholars you have publicly debated in the last 10 years? Conservapedia would be indebted to you if you could provide a list for our examination.

By the way, Mr. Dawkins, when are you going to accept Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's offer to a debate rematch (As you may recall, you debated Rabbi Boteach in 1996 and appeared to not fare very well)?[15][16] Conservapedians would truly love to see Rabbi Boteach pummel you a second time in a public debate! [17][18]

Growing public pressure for Richard Dawkins to debate William Lane Craig

Christopher Hitchens just debated Christian apologist Dr. William Lane Craig.[19] In the past, Dawkins has declined to debate Craig. [20] There is now growing public pressure for Dawkins to debate Craig. There is currently a petition to have Richard Dawkins debate William Craig. Please publicize it and please sign it: http://manawatu.christian-apologetics.org/sign-the-richard-dawkins-should-debate-william-craig-petition/

Mr. Dawkins Debate William Lane Craig!

Message to evolutionist and atheist Richard Dawkins: Christopher Hitchens just debated Christian apologist Dr. William Lane Craig.[1] When are you going to get out of your "intellectual" bunny hole and stop continuing to stick with a lame excuse on why you will not debate Dr. William Lane Craig?[2] Is Dinesh D'Souza right that you now go out of your way to find weak opponents and carefully edit the "debates", but run away from the tougher opponents?[3] [4] [5] Conservapedia is still waiting for the list which contains the Christian scholars that you have debated in the last 10 years! And Mr. Dawkins, are some creationist Muslims right that you have now reduced yourself to "debating" Turkish schoolchildren who are creationists?[6] By the way, Mr. Dawkins, when are you going to accept Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's offer to a debate rematch (As you may recall, you debated Rabbi Boteach in 1996 and appeared to not fare very well)?[7][8] Conservapedians would truly love to see Rabbi Boteach pummel you a second time in a public debate!
