Also D'Souza promised to present hard science proving there was life after death etc. But the only "science" offered was the near death experience some people have and he did not in any way use that to prove there is an afterlife.

Conclusion: Game, set and match to Dawkins.
I won't get into my personal assessment of the arguments put forward by Collins and Cunningham (the authors of the books I mentioned) in this thread, but if you'd like to discuss them, I'm open to starting a thread on the books in the Politics and Religion forums.
