“KKMS Live with Jeff & Lee” (Jan. 27, 2010)

August with Jeff and Lee from AM 980 KKMS

Last Wednesday, January 27th, I let you know that I was going to be a guest on on “KKMS Live with Jeff & Lee” debating the “God-of-the-Gaps” argument with Gannon Murphy, general editor of American Theological Inquiry.

It went pretty well. They gave me a good chunk of time at the beginning too to get my message across. During the debate however, my opponent and the host took up a lot of time (Christian apologetics tend to be like that) and I was too polite to interrupt much, but I think I got some good points in. In appearances like this, I don’t like to go for the home run slams at my opponents that make atheists cheer. Instead, I try to for gentle, “innocent” inquiry that might make believers actually listen and take us seriously. I think both Jeff and Gannon were a bit shaken after the episode. The good news is that they’re thinking of making this a regular feature.

So here at long last is the audio of the debate so you can hear for yourself. You can download the mp3 or listen online below.
