    What's your synopsis of the main points of the debate Frankie?

    I would say yes because science is all about facts and deeper understanding of the world. Not being an absolutest I would say much is still up for debate.

    Have you listened to the full debate?

    Sam Harris' book "The Moral Landscape" is excellent.

    I am a huge Harris fan, and I also thought that was an excellent book.

    On a side note, my favorite Sam Harris quote of all time is: “If you were to get up in the morning and say some Latin words over your pancakes; expecting them to turn into the flesh of Elvis Presley; then you have clearly lost your mind. If you have the very same expectation in regards to a wafer and the body of Jesus Christ; you’re simply a Catholic”.
