Christopher Hitchens debated [[William Lane Craig]] at Biola University in 2009 in a videotaped debate.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KBx4vvlbZ8 Christopher Hitchens vs William Lane Craig - Does God Exist - 2009].</ref> The atheist Luke Muehlhauser wrote concerning the debate: "The debate went exactly as I expected. Craig was flawless and unstoppable. Hitchens was rambling and incoherent, with the occasional rhetorical jab. Frankly, Craig spanked Hitchens like a foolish child."<ref>[http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=1230#sthash.mPNNrzlt.dpuf The Craig-Hitchens Debate] by Luke Muehlhauser on April 4, 2009 in Debates,Reviews,William Lane Craig</ref>

[[File:Circus clowns.jpg|thumbnail|250px|right|A supporter of the [[Question evolution! campaign]] declared that at best Christopher Hitchens was a "wicked, atheist clown" and the growth of belief in biblical creation in the world will continue to accelerate.<ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/11/ppsimmons-and-pastor-carl-gallups-said.html PPsimmons and Pastor Carl Gallups said Christopher Hitchens lived a "wasted life".
