This is the inaugural posting from Theophilus on the recent Hitchens-Wilson interview as seen on “Imus in the Morning.” Although the segment was a promotional interview for the release of the documentary, Collision - the interview contained, in condensed form, all salient points of the debate between any atheist and a presuppositional defense of Christian theism.
It was nice to see Wilson’s presuppositional – and uncompromising – defense of Christian theism dismantle atheistic reductionism. To summarize the interview, Hitchens continued the atheist tradition of total failure to answer challenges to reductionism.
There was one point where I felt Wilson fell short, and that was in his concession to Hitchens' definition of atheism – that atheism is no more than the belief that there are no valid “proofs” of God’s existence – a view that equates atheism with agnosticism and sets up the mistaken notion that atheism has no burden of proof.
