I wouldn't go so far as to call it pathetic, but it definitely wasn't prolific. I believe he loss a lot of credibility as a serious debater when he produced the pictures of the "croco-duck" and the "sheep-dog" when trying to denounce evolution. I understood the point that he was making, but in serious debate those are not types of things you want to use when trying to prove your case. It's obvious that he was going for a quick laugh from the audience and apparent in his face that he was disappointed by the response that he received. Also, Cameron did not seem to be prepared for this debate. When preparing for debate, you're supposed to brainstorm every possible question that may come your way in order to formulate what response you will give when the question arises. Cameron was obviously ill-prepared to answer the questions which were asked of him.
Overall, the entire debate was a complete debacle and neither side produced any credible argument. The atheists, in particular, made the debate dreadful to watch because of the many personal attacks that they were making. The purpose of a debate is to present facts which refutes your opponents argument. The attacks should be against the opponent's viewpoint and not charged towards the opponent. The female atheist particularly destroyed her credibility as a debater the moment she began speaking. Her statement that she would "rather go to hell than go to heaven and worship some megalo-maniacal psychopath like God" just made me cringe at its utter ridiculousness. Her "points" sounded more like the rantings of an immature child than the comments of an educated thinker.
Agree with his argument or not, the only one that presented himself with some sense of maturity was Ray comfort. I was overwhelmingly disappointed with the outcome of the debate and not surprised that so few people were in attendance.

Gee, I bet the atheists will say it was pathetic and the Christians will say it was prolific. That in itself is pretty pathetic.
By the way when was that on? And on what show?

Judge it for yourself. ABC is releasing the debate as a series of clips.

Painfully pathetic.... as I watched, I could see his facial expressions as he struggled with their disbelief, and the fact that he had only one basic line.

He certainly demonstrated fervent ignorance.
