It's a debate, more or less, between Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins. I'm at about the 20 minute mark. Things that have come up so far:

1) Tyson has read his fair share of Marvel comic books.
2) It's clear that Dawkins has a healthy respect for Tyson's expertise.
3) Somewhere around the 18 minute mark, both men start discussing the application of VR technology to surgery.

At the end of the discussion, people seem to have more questions for Tyson than Dawkins.

It's not a "debate".

definitely not a debate. A discussion, for sure.
