The World Wide Web can be a treacherous place. Yesterday, for example, I stumbled across a video recording of a debate between famed militant atheist Richard Dawkins and the Cardinal Archbishop of Sydney George Pell. It's interesting to record in passing that Dawkins, a scientist who knows nothing about theology, is happy to debate a theologian who knows nothing about science but resolutely refuses to debate a scientist who knows about theology. We can only guess why that is. In the debate, questions were put to both participants by members of the audience, and the first somewhat rambling question boiled down to "Can an atheist live a good life?" to which both protagonists responded "Yes".
