This debate format was perfect; unlike the stupid rebuttals and then the "reply to the rebuttal". Both speakers gave their presentations and then spent some time talking about it. I thought that Scharp was great, although, some comments from other videos of the same debate don't think so.
He was good. He certainly did better vs. Craig than Harris, Hitchens, or Krauss, but he still couldn't control Craig like Kagan did. I would say he did as well as Stephen Law did.
It was a good debate in that it showed what a charlatan Craig is when he uses terms such as "probably", "very probable", and yet, he refuses to attach any quantitative value to those statements. For instance, I am 100% certain that the Earth is round and moves about the Sun approximately once per year and am also 100% certain that the South lost the United States Civil War. However, I would say that I am only 50 to 60% certain that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the Cosmos, and so, there is a great deal of uncertainty with respect to that fundamental question.
I love Scharp's conjecture that aliens stole Jesus' body, because 1) it is completely natural, and 2) Craig himself has admitted the possibility of intelligent life in our Galaxy. And, so, why not?
