Since Muslims emphatically claim that Zakir Naik presented a complete defeat on Christianity in his debate with William Campbell in a recent debate on Islam Christianity and Science, and since this debate and these issues have come up on the thread: The Qur'an and Modern Science- Wow what an eyeopener!!!!!

I find it reasonable to create a new thread focusing only on the issues that were brought up in the particular debate between Zakir Naik and William Campbell.
Muslims presume that since Campbell did not answer all the questions and since Zakir Naik answered all the questions, the debate presented a knock out for the Christian faith.
However, it has to be said, that debates do seldom reveal the entire aspect of a subject. Furthermore being a teacher like Campbell is not necesserily compared to being a debater; these are significantly different.
Furthermore, just because one does not answer all question, does not mean there are no answers. And only because one answers all the questions does not imply that the answers are necessarily accurate.
In this thread I will start off by replying to a post by our Muslim friend 'Unity'.
In all fairness to Unity, it has to be said that the particular issues and arguments are not proposed by Unity himself, but by Zakir Naik, and Zakir Naik's use of Maurice Bucaille.
Hence we do not hold Unity responsible for the ignorance and misrepresentation of the material. We only refer to Unity as Unity posted the material, as a response to our challenge.
Since the propositions by Zakir Naik are of no significance (it took me virtually no time to deal with these issues), as we will God-willing prove here; I consider it vital to create this new thread.
I will start posting the reply within five hours.
