Ok, here is the Hitchens/Craig debate at Biola University. I broke it up in 100mb .rar files so I was able to upload it to mediafire. Below will be several links. Download each file and save to a certain location. Make sure all files are in the same location/folder and unrar them to get the video.

Mac users - UnrarX is a good application for .rar files.
Windows users- Winrar is best here.

No. I think it is file 2.
Any chance you could put this on youtube instead?
I doubt a lot of people are going to spend an hour downloading this.

Look, he's divided the files up into little bits, and unleashed a torrent of files that don't work. I wonder, however, if there is another place to find this debate?

I downloaded everything and it worked "fine." That is, it ran all the way through, but was hard to bear. There were pauses and the speaker was kind of annoying. The pauses may just have been my computer.

I still thank you for uploading the vids and providing the link - that must've taken a while to do.

I wanted to share an actual discussion that doesn't involve one party cutting the other off every so often (not that they haven't been posted, but they're few and far between. Alistar McGrath (Christian who used to be an atheist, author of The Dawkins Delusion?) and Richard Dawkins, really good stuff: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_lis...455E3FE77ED716

Just thought this was funny. This looks like some ancient native american summoning or something:

Don't know if this has already been posted/discussed but this is a three part video series explaining how Christianity has stolen a large amount of elements from early Egyptian religion (specifically Horus, the sun god)

"Christianity - Fraud Of The Age - Myth Stolen From Egypt"

Where has it been discredited? Which parts have been discredited? The entire thing is a farce? The part I linked is only in reference to the origins of religions, specifically Christianity.

Christianity did borrow from nearby religions, just not the ones in the movie, or at least the movie way overstated the similarities. There's a website you can probably track down that goes through it point by point. it's a shame, since the basic point is valid.

Why would you think that me posting these videos indicates I'm an Atheist or contemplating becoming one? I'm agnostic bro.

Are you theist (i.e. do you believe in a deity or deities)? If not, you're atheist (i.e. you lack a belief in a deity or deities). You have to be one or the other, you can't be neither and you can't be both. Gnosticism is irrelevant.
