What better way to spend Easter Sunday than by listening to the famous 1948 debate between Father Frederick C Copleston and Bertrand Russell on the existence of God (or, at least, the Anglo-Catholic god)? Of course, neither proponent is going to change their mind (at least, not in public, and not then), but who has the better arguments do you think? What do you think is good about them? Can you think of even better arguments for or against?
The youtube version, edited for the Open University a long time ago, is below; the original BBC broadcast is surely in their archives somewhere – sadly, I couldn’t find it online.
