I thought this was a good debate with solid speakers on both sides. A lot of things we’ve talked about here recently were touched on. I’ll be giving it another look

What did you find was most interesting from each of the speakers?

They went over a lot of ground! They both made good points I thought. It was interesting to hear them go over or at least touch on some of the discussions we’ve had here recently. Matt made a good point about something we were talking about the other day, if there was “sky writing from God”, how would you know it wasn’t from some kind of non-God intelligence? I was thinking about that a bit, I still think it could be convincing depending on the message. He got asked about the definition of atheism as well 🙂 The audience questions were pretty good. They talked about free will a lot, which is less interesting to me personally. I do mean to watch it again.
