In the latest issue of the eSkeptic newsletter is a link to an interesting debate held at Cal-Tech between Dinesh D’Souza and Michael Shermer over the relationship between science and religion.

In this debate on what are arguably two of the most important questions in the culture wars today — Is Religion a Force for Good or Evil? and Can you be Good without God? — the conservative Christian author and cultural scholar Dinesh D’Souza and the libertarian skeptic writer and social scientist Michael Shermer, square off to resolve these and related issues, such as the relationship between science and religion and the nature and existence of God. This event was one of the liveliest ever hosted by the Skeptics Society at Caltech, mixing science, religion, politics, and culture.

You can watch the debate here.
