Creationist debates atheist 6th grader

http://www.examiner.com/article/creationist-debates-atheist-6th-grader

"This kid gives me hope." ~Nitusen, YouTube commenter on the YouTube video "Eric Hovind vs. 6th Grade Atheist."

Last week (Thur. 11-15-12), creationist and evangelist Eric Hovind came to Portland, and while he was here he debated an atheist (Bernie Dehler, former evangelical Christian and now secular humanist). Their debate (held at Portland State University) covered two major sections:

1. Evidence.
2. Morality.

There was an extensive Q&A time, in which an atheist 6th grader confronted Eric Hovind's statement. Hovind asserted: "If you don't know everything, then you can't know anything; unless you know someone who does."
