This is also in the calendar section, but I thought I'd bring it to everyone's attention here:

http://www.TheDebateOnGod.blogspot.com/

Dinesh D'Souza, conservative Christian and best-selling author, will face off against Tufts professor, author, and atheist Daniel Dennett in a debate on the existence of god. The resolution for the debate will be as follows:

"God is a manmade invention"

Daniel Dennett will be arguing the affirmative, and Dinesh D'Souza the negative

Order of debate:

Dennett opens up with 20-25 minute speech
D'Souza follows with his own 20-25 minute speech
Dennett rebutts for 5 minutes, then D'Souza for 5, then repeat once more
Then we will have an audience Q&A where Tufts students will ask questions to each debator for 30-40 minutes

If you would like to ask a question to either debator, please email me at Patrick.Andriola@tufts.edu

Time and date of debate:

Friday, November 30th, 7:15 PM

Place:

Cabot Auditorium ( http://calendar.boston.com/medford-ma/venues/show/371626-cabot-auditorium-tufts-university )
Tufts University
Medford, Massachusetts

How to reserve tickets:

Unfortunately, reservations inside of Cabot have been completely booked

HOWEVER

We will have an overflow auditorium with a large-screen projection of the debate fed LIVE at Pearson 104, once again on Tufts campus

Reservations for this are still ongoing, so just shoot me an email at Patrick.Andriola@Tufts.edu to reserve a max of 3 seats

FOR TUFTS STUDENTS AND FACULTY:

No reservation is necessary. Show up to the debate for a first-come, first-serve entrance. A Tufts ID is required.

For any other questions, media or event related, please contact me at Patrick.Andriola@Tufts.edu
