This lengthy podcast of over one hour concludes the commentary from Chris concerning the recent exchange between Sye TenBruggencate and Justin Schieber.

Sye TenBruggencate vs. Justin Scheiber: Complete Transcript and Informal "Debate" Recording

Sye TenBruggencate of www.proofthatgodexists.org claims that his recent discussion/informal “debate” with Justin Scheiber of www.yahweh-or-myweh.blogspot.com was heavily edited with Justin’s long pauses taken out as well to make it seem as though he answered faster. Sye contends that it was not just “rabbit trails” that were taken out, but that the whole feel of certain parts of the debate was changed. Sye claims that he is a little surprised that Justin did this and trusts that others will find that the edits were extremely biased as well.

Sye believes it is clear from the edits that Justin was just trying …

Ben Wallis and Paul Baird Withdraw Debate Challenges

Readers will remember that I accepted a call for debate opponents from agnostic Ben Wallis here. He has since taken down the post that included the challenge and let me know that some things came up on his end that would prevent any formal debate right now. At the same time, he has suggested another debate opponent for me, and we are attempting to work something out.

Recall also that atheist Paul Baird openly challenged such noteworthy apologists as K. Scott Oliphint, Doug Wilson, and James White to debate. That challenge extended as well to Jamin Hubner, Dustin Seegars, …

*Updated* – Responding to the call for debate opponents (Ben Wallis)

* For some reason Ben has taken down his debate challenge and it is now cached here. I am not sure what this means. It read as follows:

A call for debate opponents
I’m currently seeking opponents to defend the position that God exists in a formal Skype debate (or, if you live in far west Chicagoland, a live debate). For my own part, I am prepared to defend the alternative position that we do not know whether God exists.

I require that any opponent be at least 21 years old, and satisfy one—preferably two—of the

An Acceptance of Paul Baird's Debate Challenge

On April 29, 2011 I linked to Sye TenBruggencate’s debates which I had not, at the time, listened to.

Paul Baird responded:

Transcript of the Second Debate that I had with Sye Tenbruggebcate is here – http://patientandpersistent.blogspot.com/2011/03/second-debate-transcript-work-in.html

One review is here – http://deeperwaters.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/presuppositional-apologetics-on-unbelievable/

Strangely all of Syes previous supporters appear to have vanished and none have offered any congratulations on his performance.

Maybe you guys have offered support.

In response to this comment I wrote:

Thank you for the links.

As I mentioned in the post, I have not gotten around to listening to these exchanges yet. Perhaps after I

Sye TenBrugencatte Debate

Yesterday I ran into Sye TenBrugencatte of www.proofthatgodexists.org and was reminded that I still have not quite gotten around to listening to his debate yet, but you can beat me to it here. He also has some interviews and videos at the bottom of that page.…

Ben Wallis, induction again, and a desperate attack on Christianity

My favorite philosopher, the Scottish skeptic David Hume, did more than just a little damage to traditional religious views in terms of their philosophical justifications. Unfortunately, those who appeal to Hume for solace in their anti-theistic battles often overlook that Hume destroyed much else besides the aforementioned philosophy of religion. Hume was a skeptic through and through, so much so that he was skeptical of his own skepticism. This general consistency with Hume with respect to skepticism came as a result of his rejection of the self-authenticating Christ of Scripture and has driven more than one unbeliever to take desperate …
