Re: Bring us the souls of PZ Meyers, Dick Dawkins, and Chris Hitc -

I once had a public debate with Richard Dawkins in 1986. The university press deemed he had "won", but only because they were biased atheists who were purposely ignoring the Truth. During one point in the debate, Dawkins asked me "Well, Rev. Osborne, if God is so omnipotent and can cure people due to the power of prayer, why hasn't he healed any amputees?" The audience chuckled. He and his minions thought he had me cornered.
Without missing a beat, I responded: "Actually, he has." The crowd fell silent. I went on to explain that I've had several viewers of my television show who have written me letters saying that God had re-grew their limbs. He was then taken aback by this and tried to regain his ground. He asked: "Can you prove this? Do you have medical records to show this has truly happened?"
I responded that he was advocating breaking the law by trying to compromise patient-doctor confidentiality. I also accused him of moving the goal posts. "What's the point, Dr. Dawkins?" I asked. "You asked if God has healed amputees, and I responded He has. Now you are demanding further proof. Even if I showed you proof, then you would demand that I prove the reports were real and accurate. You atheists keep demanding more proof everytime we give you some. You keep moving the goal posts."
A few people who supported me cheered, the rest snickered. Dawkins just laughed and said "Moving on...". So typical of atheists to change the subject when they know they lost. I received a lot of derisive letters after the debate from people for claiming that God has healed amputees.
I am doubtful these men can be converted because they are so stonewalled in their Anti-God religion that they refuse to see the Truth, even if it's in front of their own eyes.
