The other option of course is that they change their odd religious dogmas so that these countries can be saved from hunger, poverty and desolation brought about by the uncontrolled rise of population.
Dawkins vs. Collins: analysis of the debate. - 1 views
-
In the first exchange, Dawkins and Collins apparently agreed that the proposition "God exists" is either true or false.
