Intelligence Squared
A smart, lively debate series hosted by ABC's John Donvan which takes a substantial look at the pros and cons of relevant public affairs and cultural issues. With propositions such as "Ban College Football" to "It's Time To End the War on Terror" to "Too Many Kids Go to College" and "Men Are Finished," the conversations are always intelligent, provocative, disciplined and civil. A key component of the show includes audience voting at the beginning and end of the debate to determine which side was more persuasive.

Can science and religion co-exist?
