There is no debate in reality, there simply are gullible humans desperately clinging to the past.
I often tell Christians, because that is whom we run into the most, that their religion IS NOT the only religion, that when they cannot attack and debunk science, religion tries to co opt science to get it to point to their club.
I have been on line for 16 years and have debated not only Christians, but Muslims and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists.
Humans simply cannot stand the thought of being unimportant in cosmic time in relationship to the universe.
I wish my fellow humans would face that, because even though there is no cosmic magic safety net, if we could pull our heads out of our asses, we do have it within us to problem solve and reduce conflict and suffering. You cant rid the world of religion by force, to attempt to do so is to become a monster. But we cannot be afraid as a species to question the claims of the past. If our species never questioned social norms, our species never would have left the caves.
