Sam Harris vs. Reza Aslan debate on Book TV

I was a bit disapointed with Harris in this one, it just seemed he didn't present some of the more effective evidence and points that he did in his books. I found Aslan to be minorly impressive.

Here's the video on youtube:

I agree. You can see Harris

I agree. You can see Harris squirming in his chair. Not a good performance by him. He should stick to blogaluges(sp?) and books.

I honestly think that he was just off his game or something that day, because he is an excellent speaker. I tend to think that Dawkins is more vulnerable in any sort of a verbal debate.
