I'm going to post this on quite a few message boards. I've decided to start a little project. I want to make a transcript of the debate between Massimo Pigliucci and Kent Hovind that aired on the Infidel Guy internet radio show earlier this year.

The MP3 of the debate runs for 130 minutes and 26 seconds. That's a lot of typing so I'd appreciate some help from a few people who are willing to commit some time to transcribing part of the debate. Ten minutes, 15, 20, half an hour, whatever you're willing to do. It's not real easy work and it's not something that everyone's "cut out for" so please try transcribing about two minutes of it before you commit yourself, just so you know whether you have the interest and the skills.

Before you start the actual work, contact me about which time span you plan to transcribe so we don't get too much duplication of effort. I can assign a time span to you if you tell me how many minutes you're willing to transcribe.

For this project, I don't care which side of the God or no God, creation or evolution debate you're on. Where ever you stand on those questions, you're welcome to help if you've got the time, interest and skills. This will be a straightforward transcript with no editorializing or "creative editing". We're not going to put in every "uh" and stutter but I want as many of the actual words in there as possible. After it's done, I hope to have it checked for accuracy by both creationists and supporters of mainstream evolutionary science. After that, as far as I'm concerned, anyone can post it anywhere.

If you don't have a copy of the MP3, you can download it from the Infidel Guy web site at <a href="http://infidelguy.com/" target="_blank">http://infidelguy.com/</a> It's about 15 MB.

If you want to get involved, contact me by email at brad@nodeity.com or respond in this message board thread. I'll also post four minutes and 22 seconds' worth of transcript in the thread so you get an idea of the format I want to use (it's pretty basic).

Thanks for doing that, NoDeity. Too bad I have slow slow dial up...

Even slower than my 56k connection that actually turns out to be 48000 bps on a good day?

Hi NoDeity,

I've yet to hear this debate of which you speak, which sounds like it'd be a cracker!

I had a look at this website, but was unable to find a download for the MP3 file. Do you have a more direct URL for the download?

Cheers,

Ooops!

Never mind. After a bit more digging I seem to have found it. For anyone else who's having a spot of bother looking for it, it can be directly downloaded from <a href="http://www.infidelguy.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=getit&lid=55" target="_blank">right here.</a>

Cheers,
Prax

I should have mentioned that the link for the MP3 at InfidelGuy.com is in the left-hand column under the Most Popular heading.
