At the risk of being beaten senseless by the moderators, I found an interesting series of debates on Youtube that looks at the universe through religion, both pro and con.
The redeming features for this board is that it is addressed to a scientifically literate audience and uses the arguements of science. It raises matters that are often on the minds of astronomers as they contemplate the universe. I have heard more thoughtful amateurs to express some of the views contained in the attached links. It revolves around the issues of whether the universe and life is an "accident" or part of some master plan.
