“A week ago Cardinal George Pell publicly debated atheist celebrity Richard Dawkins on the subject of God’s existence. When Mr. Dawkins was asked about the cause of the universe, and how something could come from nothing, he replied that while his own theory cannot sufficiently answer this question, any answer would be better than something as complex as God. ‘Nothing is very, very, simple,’ Dawkins says, ‘but God as a creative cause is very complex.’”
A recently post in Dominicana, a publication of the Dominican Students of the Saint Joseph Province who live and study at the Dominican House of Studies, offered an overview of and some commentary on a recent debate between Cardinal George Pell (Archbishop of Sydney, Australia) and atheist Richard Dawkins on God’s existence.
