Fear of God:
Dawkins' 'Cowardice' Over Refusal to Debate Christian Academic
Professor Richard Dawkins had been accused of 'cowardice' by a fellow atheist after his refusal to debate Professor William Lane Craig, a prominent Christian Academic.
The British Humanist Association, The Cambridge Debating Union, the Oxford Christian Union, and Premier Radio sent invitations to Professor Dawkins but they were all turned down.
From The Daily Telegraph:
In a letter to Prof Dawkins, Dr Came said: “The absence of a debate with the foremost apologist for Christian theism is a glaring omission on your CV and is of course apt to be interpreted as cowardice on your part.
“I notice that, by contrast, you are happy to discuss theological matters with television and radio presenters and other intellectual heavyweights like Pastor Ted Haggard of the National Association of Evangelicals and Pastor Keenan Roberts of the Colorado Hell House.”
