The Barker-Butt Debate was conducted on the campus of the University of South Carolina in Columbia on February 12, 2009 before a capacity crowd of over 500, with thousands more viewing the debate over the Internet. The debate addressed the question: “Does the God of the Bible exist?” Both disputants presented arguments, cross-examined each other, and also fielded live questions from the audience.
Due to the brief nature of the debate, several of the assertions made by atheist Dan Barker could not be answered in the allotted time. This section of the A.P. Web site provides articles that respond specifically to these assertions. Additional articles that address various statements that Barker made during the debate will be added below as they are produced.
