This is going to be weird "formal" debate (if it happens). It should be called a "devil's advocate" debate.

Aye.
I thought about taking part in such a debate but seeing as I've always been an atheist, I find it rather difficult to formulate any kind of argument for theism. Easy to argue as an atheist, nothing to defend. No burden of proof. Tongue
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
