What happens when a professional atheist and skeptic addresses a classroom full of young earth creationists and fundamentalist Christians? For 20 years, CFI West executive Director Jim Underdown has been going to a Christian high school in Southern California to represent atheism and secular humanism in that school's comparative religion class. Here is one of those discussions.
