Is belief in God rational? Or has science shown the existence of God to be so unlikely as to make belief irrational? Two physicists, a skeptic and a scholar tried to answer those questions. Lawrence Krauss is a theoretical physicist and the director of the Origins Project and a professor of physics at the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. Michael Shermer is the founding publisher of Skeptic magazine and editor of Skeptic.com and a monthly columnist for Scientific American and an adjunct professor at Claremont Graduate University and Chapman University. Ian Hutchinson is a physicist and professor of nuclear science and engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dinesh D'Souza is the author of What's So Great About Christianity (2008).

The Other Scott Horton, Contributing Editor for Harper’s Magazine, discusses the European Court of Human Rights’ condemnation of Bush-era CIA torture practices within the rendition program.
