It was pretty good. Naturally there was a theist of some kind in the audience who, of course, had to keep sticking his hand up to warble off some stupid religious claims during the question answering part at the end of the debate. Man you reeeaaaally start to notice how utterly lacking in wonder or awe religion really is when claims and questions about it immediately follow a discussion about astrophysics and the concept of Nothing. I can't remember which but one of them put it best: "Some scientists still to this day are inevitably pulled into asking 'why.' This is an error in thinking; 'why' is an irrelevant question. 'How' is much more important, and can actually be answered, whereas 'why' is just a dead-end, that or it goes in circles. Either way, 'why' goes nowhere."
