Does God Exist? Mohammed Hijab vs Edward Tabash

Mohammed Hijab is a debater and public speaker who engages in discussions and polemics on a wide variety of topics including religion, politics and society. He completed a Politics degree and a Masters in History from Queen Mary University. He has taught and instructed courses on humanities and languages in many contexts. He has numerous Ijazahs in some Islamic sciences and has studied in numerous Islamic seminaries including the Shinqeeti Institute which employs a traditional Mauritanian style of teaching the Sacred Sciences.

Edward “Eddie” Tabash is a constitutional lawyer in the Los Angeles area. He graduated from UCLA in 1973, magna cum laude, with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He graduated from Loyola Law School of Los Angeles in 1973. He is the son of an orthodox rabbi from Lithuania and an Auschwitz surviving mother from Hungary. After decades of spiritual reflection and seeking, he has determined that the universe is natural, with no supernatural being or beings, no God or gods, involved in the creation or perpetuation of our existence. He chairs the board of directors of the Center for Inquiry Transnational, a worldwide organization of secular humanists and scientific skeptics. He is also known for his legal work in separation of church and state cases, in which he seeks to preserve the equality before the law of both believers and nonbelievers. He promotes a secular society based in science, reason, and inquiry. Maintaining strong conviction in this, he’s an integral leader to several associations which exist to separate church and state.

Join us for this free to watch, merciless, open debate between these two dignified and learned students of logic and reason. They will be presenting their conflicting and non-conflicting arguments, perspectives, and rationales throughout, all while respectfully challenging each others’ core beliefs. You do not want to miss out on the opportunity to watch these two go head to head on stage in this undoubtedly iconic and intense debate on God’s existence.

Let’s all get woke together and expand our exposure to various perspectives on how this universe came to be.
