"My dad became an atheist after graduating with a degree in physics. He became a Christian after Sam taught him this material. Now I'd like to study it for myself." (Christian)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the CD of your debate with the Atheist. You did a fantastic job." (Christian)
"Instead of quoting scriptures (which would not be convincing to an atheist), Sam Dawson argues from accepted scientific laws that the universe had a beginning; and if a beginning, a cause. It is a valuable study for Christians and non-Christians alike." (Elder)
"A debate, by its very nature, is a confrontational event. However, two things impressed me. First, the "in control" manner in which Mr. Dawson conducted himself throughout; and secondly, his balanced approach of using both scientific data and scriptural references which produces, in my opinion, a winning argument."
(Christian)
"I attended this debate and have always thought it was a classic. Sam did his normal quality job. But it seemed to me they exposed their true character or lack of it. Atheism has nothing to offer to mankind! I think a lot of good was accomplished by the debate." (Preacher)

In the fall of 1972, Dr. Paul Brians, a humanities professor and faculty sponsor for the League for the Promotion of Militant Atheism at Washington State University, issued a challenge to the "Jesus People" (whose motto was "One Way") in the campus newspaper to debate the "evidences of their faith." Brians' motto was "No Way." We agreed with the Jesus People that there was "One Way," but also affirmed that they were not following it, but rather Pentecostal denominationalism.
Unfortunately for the Jesus People, their concept of faith, admittedly not being a product of their intellect, wasn't something they could debate, so the challenge was going unanswered by any believers. A small group of Christians requested that Samuel G. Dawson accept the challenge to debate Brians, which he did. A physics and mathematics graduate from Texas Tech, he did research in celestial mechanics and intercontinental missile guidance in the aerospace industry before deciding to preach the gospel of Christ.
A short meeting with Dr. Brians produced rules of conduct for the debate, and in December 1972, an orderly debate was held at the Student Union Building Auditorium on the Washington State University campus at Pullman, Washington, with an attendance of approximately 800 each night.
Since atheists do not accept the Bible's statement that God exists, Sam laid aside his Bible on the first night. He proved the existence of God through indisputable scientific facts. Then on the second night, he presented Bible facts that weren't known by scientists until several thousand years later to prove that the Bible couldn't possibly be of human origin.
First Night
Proposition: There Is a Supreme Being, God
Affirms: Samuel G. Dawson
Denies: Dr. Paul Brians
Second Night
Proposition: The Bible Is Not of Human Origin
Affirms: Samuel G. Dawson
Denies: Dr. Paul Brians
Ideal for personal study, teaching others, and increasing faith.
When you listen to this debate you'll learn:
- the two most reliable laws of science that demonstrate the universe was created
- Bible facts that were recorded thousands of years before scientists knew them
- evolution, Darwin, and creation have been hot topics on college campuses ever since the Scopes trial, and they still are
- facts that will help you talk to your junior and senior high school children about science, creation, and the Bible
- atheists can't or won't deal with scientific facts that disprove the theory of evolution
- Christians don't have to be intimidated by the pseudo science of evolution
- how to lay your Bible aside and teach from science that the universe was created
- to develop the confidence to refute the world's case against the Bible and Christianity
- atheism requires faith from its believers
- that atheists must borrow from Christians for their ethics
- answers to the atheists' arguments condemning the morality of God
- how atheists believe they can set their own morality, and that it is moral to lie and commit fornication
- one argument atheists make that Christians can't answer and what we need to do about it
- timely discussion of science vs. atheism
- evidences for the existence of God and the inspiration of the Bible
