In the facebook page of the Cambridge Union Society, you can read "On the Motion - "This House Believes God is Not a Delusion": Ayes 243, Abstentions 129, Noes 229: The motion passes by 14 votes." in favor of Craig/Williams vs atheists Copson and Ahmed.
It's interesting and even astonishing that in a so prestigious scholarly debating society like the Cambridge Union (not precisely a friend of Christianity), Christian philosophers William Lane Craig and Peter Williams have beaten atheists Andrew Copson and Arif Ahmed.
According to my information, that debate was a little bit weird, in the sense (in contrast with most scholarly debates) that it was allowed to the public to interrupt the speaker's speech and raised objections and comments in any moment. Obviously, this doesn't help to clarify the speakers' points, and tends to create confusion.
This is not an ideal condition for a rigurous debate. In any case, even in these less than perfect conditions, the atheist speakers lost in their own "home".
This is further evidence of the extreme intellectual weakness of the atheist case.
