Watch it live! The Mooney/Myers showdown at the CfI-fest in LA is at 2 pm pacific time. Plus there are some other folks on the program. This should be fun.
What Chris needs to say to PZ--We are not neutral about truth. So we are not liars. We do value truth. It's just not all that we value. We also value getting Americans to learn enough science that they can make good decisions about public policy. They need to make those good decisions now, not in 100 years.
Is "love of truth" deontological? Must I tell the truth even if it means telling the state police that there is a oppostion party member hiding in my basement? Or do we sometimes accept untruths because we have competing moral goods we are after?

Or to put your suggestion another way:

Exactly. Let's hope they discuss that, because he shouldn't let PZ get away with saying accommodationists are liars.
Do they keep records of these videos anywhere?
Wish I knew, because I'm going to have to miss the Sam Harris show tonight.
