if I could convert everyone in the world
not convert if I could convince
this to be a
non-believer and i' I've really done
brilliantly and there was only one left
one more and then it' be done there
would be no more religion in the world
here's a snippet of a documentary film
from the year 2009 where Christopher
Hitchens is on a backseat of a car with
Doug Wilson expressing his thoughts on
the fine-tuning argument Hitchens also
shares an interaction that he had with
Richard Dawkins
at some point certainly we all asked
well which is the best argument you've
yet come up against from the other side
and I think every one of us picks the
fine tuning
one is the most intriguing the goldie
Lux yeah okay fine the fine tuning the
one degree well one de one hair
different to
nothing but even though it doesn't prove
a design doesn't prove a designer could
all have happened without it you have to
spend time thinking about it working on
it it's not a
trivial we all say that and then at one
point I think this is not on camera um I
said if um if I could convert everyone
in the world not convert if I could
convince to be a
non-believer and i' I've really done
brilant and there was only one left one
more and then it would be done there'll
be no more religion world no what De Fe
I wouldn't do
it and dkin said what do you mean you
wouldn't do
it I said I don't quite know why I
wouldn't do
it and it's not just cuz there would be
nothing left to argue with and no one
left to argue with it's not just that
though there would be that somehow I if
I could drive it out of the world I
wouldn't and the incredulity with which
you looked at
me stays with me

still the author of God Is Not Great
died of esophageal cancer in 2011 at the
age of 62 during his lifetime he spoke
and wrote against organized and
institutionalized religion it's
intriguing how he admits that he would
not necessarily convert or convince all
people to become a non-believer maybe he
saw some good out of the religious
practices of men nonetheless he never
claimed to believe in God and we need to
be reminded that it is not good works
that saves but grace through faith in
Christ thanks for watching God bless you
