Held at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA on April 10, 2008
Can we be good without God? Do we really need God for our morality? Is morality just a divine protection racket? Is there any rational basis for good if there is no God? William Lane Craig and Louise Antony address these questions and more in this debate on the foundational basis of morality.

On April 4, 2009, William Lane Craig and Christopher Hitchens met at Biola University to debate the question of God's existence. In front of an overflow crowd and a global internet audience, they debated the origin and design of the universe, the implications of human morality, the deity of Jesus, and the validity of Christ's resurrection. It was a compelling clash of worldviews and an examination of the major arguments for and against Christianity and atheism.
