from Crosswalk:
The film takes its title from Wilson's remark, "Basically a debate like this is more a collision of lives than it is an exchange of mere views." Christians can learn a lot from watching this collision of lives. For one thing, we can learn about how to argue graciously while at the same time taking a strong, uncompromising stand for our beliefs. If an atheist as firm as Hitchens respects that kind of stand, that should tell us something.
The film ends on an intriguing note. Hitchens, who previously called the faith a "wicked cult," admits that even if he had the power to "drive it out of the world," he wouldn't do it. Is this because he's come to know one sincere, well-educated Christian? Or he grudgingly approves of the good works Christians do?
