tell us some of the "good stuff" that ended up being cut...
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you put debate in quotes.
ReplyDeleteIt was too amicable to be defined as a debate.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things was that he asked Dawkins whether he was an optimist, to which Dawkins answered yes, and Rabbi Sacks asked him where was the evidence...
He also cited the Nobel Prize statistics, and Dawkins conceded - and, it seems, now does so on the circuit as well - that there is something unique about the Jews.
