Welcome to today's Unbelievable Debate, recorded live at St Michael’s Aylesbury, where two distinguished scholars, Robert Scott and Muhammad Yasir Al-Hanafi, engage in a thought-provoking debate on the historical verifiability, truth, and societal contributions of their respective faiths: Christianity and Islam. Join us as we delve into these complex topics with respect and curiosity and discuss the different truth claims of each religion ask whether we can collaboratively embrace our differences toward the common social and human good?
Scott and Yasir explore deep and challenging questions, such as:
Are the core beliefs of Christianity and Islam historically verifiable? What contributions do these religions make to society? Is belief in God necessary for the world to function?
Today's debate also features a lively Q&A session, where students and attendees pose difficult and often misunderstood questions including:
"Someone told me that in Islam, if you kill an unbeliever (an ‘infidel’), then 72 virgins are waiting for you in heaven. Is that true?" "How does the chain of transmission work in Islam?" "If everything in the world has a cause and God is the cause of everything, who caused God?" Join us as we delve into these complex topics with respect and curiosity.
