The Joseph McCabe - George McCready Price debate (1925)
Summary
The debate occurred within two months of the Scopes trial. It was arranged by the Rationalist Press Association taking advantage of interest spawned by London press coverage of the Scopes trial. The proponents were Joseph McCabe, a well known British rationalist as well as an experienced debater, and George McCready Price, a Seventh Day Adventist
educator and the original scientific creationist, who had recently come from Union College, Lincoln, NE to an Adventist school in Watford. The debate was held before 3000 spectators in Queens Hall (W1) with Earl Russell, Bertrand's older brother moderating. It was perhaps the British equivalent of the Scopes trial.
