Craig-Atkins Debate: What is the Evidence For/Against the Existence of God?

Sponsored by the Faith and Science Lecture Forum, Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia.

William F. Buckley Jr.
The Faith and Science Lecture Forum is pleased to have William F. Buckley, Jr. to moderate this important debate. William Buckley, the founder of National Review and its editor-in-chief until 1990, covers a wide range of political, cultural, and economic issues in his syndicated columns, which appear in NR, and in articles and reviews written specifically for the magazine. Although he has handed over the editorial reins to John O'Sullivan, he continues as the magazineís president and editor-at-large, and he produces his "Notes & Asides" column each issue.

Buckley served in the Army during World War II before matriculating at Yale University, from which he graduated in 1950. He had published his first two books, "God and Man at Yale" and (with L. Brent Bozell) "McCarthy and His Enemies," before founding National Review in 1955. He began his syndicated column, "On the Right," in 1962, and launched his weekly television show, Firing Line, in 1966; in between, he ran for mayor of New York City in 1965, and received 13.4% of the vote on the Conservative Party ticket. He has served on the Advisory Commission of the United States Information Agency (1969-72), and as Public Member of the U.S. Delegation to the U.N. General Assembly (1973). His 31 books include political analyses, sailing books, and the Blackford Oakes spy novels. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including Best Columnist of the Year (1967), a Television Emmy for Program Achievement (1969), the American Book Award for Best Mystery (paperback) for Stained Glass (1980), and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1991).
