Good grief. Check out the comments. One person says that neuroscience may one day discover “good,” and that Harris’s argument will then no longer be prey to the naturalistic fallacy.

They both go into fields they are not experts in. Dawkins trying to refute the ontological argument, or Harris trying to make history in meta-ethics is just dumb. Then we become easy targets for WLC and other professionals.
But then again you Christians got Ray Comfort and Lee Strobel. So we are even.
