**UPDATE Oct 14, 2014**
It seems that David Viviano aka Gamma Atheist does not want to go through with his acceptance to debate me. I have messaged him on Youtube's Google plus channel and he deleted the thread.
See this video as proof that I tried to work with him, but he got scared to debate me and ran off:

Well it seems David Viviano aka "Gamma Atheist" has mustered up some courage to debate me and I would love to do it. It would be an honor to engage him. However, he needs to contact me via email to discuss the details and the logistics as I do represent an institution and am not at liberty to make my own schedule etc.
Moreover, the debate was my idea and I had told him where the debate would be (here). This is the purpose of this blog. I want to keep a static log of the debate for all to view anytime. However, this does not mean a future debate cannot happen elsewhere after this first one takes place on this blog. So in the mean time, it would be logical to hold the debate here until the other details are worked out via email for a future debate on another forum.
The rules and layout are found on this post below. I will wait for David to email me. This should be fun. I hope other atheists don't ruin it with their nonsense.
.@SCDTVS okay I will debate you, civilly under these terms
