North Carolina State University, March 20, 2011 - William Lane Craig (author of Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology) and Lawrence Krauss (author of A Universe from Nothing: Why There Is Something Rather than Nothing) debate the existence of God. This is the debate where Krauss famously unbuttoned his shirt and boldly told his audience that 2+2=5! Is this what it takes to be an atheist? In fact, Krauss did so embarrassingly bad he was voted as the loser* of the debate. Craig does a masterful job of exposing Krauss' unscientific and wacky view of physics and science. Unfortunately, many atheists are parroting his arguments and thoughts. Transcript: reasonablefaith.org/the-craig-krauss-debate-at-north-carolina-state-university
After he got utterly pwned by Craig, Krauss wrote a vitriolic and damage-control article:

-130 Dr. Krauss made the clearer/better presentation
-100 stated it was a draw
