Dan Ellis is the past President of the Utah Atheists and is now the State representative for the American Atheists. Dr. Clark is doing incredible work in the area of prosthetics and is a professor.
The debate is eye-opening, instructive, and at points, very surprising. You'll have to see it to believe it.

[@HiHi-ek1dd]

@@jamesm6887 The Tawheed first Pillar of Islam (the one ness of God.) If you want I can show how Universe was created / started. Maybe if you copy and paste you might get a PHD in whatever. This is Tawheed (by one of the Infalliable Imams) I heard al-Ridha, Ali b. Musa, peace be upon him, speak thus on the subject of Oneness of Allah: "The first step toward worship of Allah is to know Him, and the root of that knowledge is in recognizing His Oneness; And the principle of that recognition lies in negating all definitions from Him; Every reason guides to the fact that anything defined is created (and not the creator), And every created one testifies that it has a creator, who is not created. The one, who is not contingent, is the One, timeless in eternity. So he who ascribes attributes to Him has not (truly) worshipped Him, And he who knows Him by similitude has not understood His oneness; And one who compares Him (to anything) has not understood the true essence, nor has he confirmed Him if he sets any limit for Him; And he who points towards Him with any of his senses is, in fact, aiming at something other than Him; So, he who likens Him (to others) does not actually mean Him, and he who considers Him a part of the whole, does not actually know Him, and he who imagines Him is indeed deluded. Everything, which can be encompassed by knowledge and imagination, is created, and everything that is dependent upon others for its existence is an effect. By His creation, we are guided to His existence, and by reason we believe in (the necessity of) knowing Him, and by the innate nature (of human beings) His Proof is established. His creation is a veil between Him and His creatures, and He is distinct from them by His disparateness. His beginning of their creation is the proof that He has no beginning, for the one who is begun (in time) cannot be a (timeless) beginner; So, all the names used for Him are mere interpretations, and acts attributed to Him are meant for common understanding. Indeed, he who defines or sets a limit to Him, displays ignorance about Him, and he who tries to encompass Him transgresses the bounds. And he who makes a surmise of His Being, misses Him (altogether). Whoever says 'How is He?' has indeed invoked His likeness, and whoever asks 'Why?' has indeed indulged in explaining Him away. And he who says 'When?' sets a time limit for Him, and he who asks 'In what?' tries to contain Him. And whoever asks 'Where to?' confines Him, and whoever asks 'Till when?' indeed fixes (an imagined) goal for Him. Thus whoever fixes a goal for Him, limits Him, and to set a limit for Him is to disbelieve in Him. The discrepancy among the creatures does not effect any variation in Him, and the limitation of the limited ones creates no confine for Him. He is One but not as number, and He is Manifest but not by was of associating; He is Evident but not by way of being visible. He is intrinsic but not by separation, and He is apart but not by distance. And He is near but not by proximity. He is (truly) subtle, but not in body, He Exists but not from nothingness. He is the doer but not under any duress, and He is the assessor but not yielded to pondering; He is designer without needing any movement. He Wills without being driven by resolves or determination, He perceives without depending on any senses. He hears and sees without any organ. Time does not accompany Him, places do not contain Him, slumber does not overtake Him, attributes do not define Him, and implements do not benefit Him. His Existence precedes time, His Being precedes void and nothingness. His Eternity precedes all beginning. By His creating similar things, it is established that He has no likeness, and by His creating dissimilarities among things, it is evident that He has no contrast. And by equation among things, it is understood that He has no equal. He contrasted light with darkness, severe winter with hot wind. He puts together things which are divergent, and separates things which are closer to each other. Thus by separating, He guides us to its Separator and by putting things together, He guides to its Integrator. Allah, Most High, says (in Qur'an): 'We have created a pair, that perchance you might remember.'(51:49) The meaning of Sustainer applied to Him when there was no one sustained, and the essence of (all) Divine Power belonged to Him when there was no worshipper, and He was the Knower when there was nothing knowable. He did not merit the meaning of being Creator after having created, nor did He become the Originator after having originated. He is not caused to be absent by 'since,' nor is He brought nearer by 'indeed.' And 'perchance' does not veil Him, nor is He limited in time by 'when.' He is not contained by 'then,' nor is He accompanied by 'with.' Every effect that is seen in the creation does not exist in its Creator, and all that is contingent in it is not possible in its Maker. Movement and Stillness do not occur in Him. And how can they occur in Him Who caused them? How could that which He initiated return to be applied to Him? In that case, there would have risen discrepancy in His Being, and the meaning of Eternal would be inapplicable to Him, and the word Creator would have had its opposite meaning. If He were bound by rear, He would have been bound by fore also, and if completeness were solicited for Him, then incompleteness would have been necessarily conceivable for Him. How could He be worthy of being called Eternal if He were contingent? How can He initiate things if He Himself needed to be initiated? In that case, the signs of being created would be evident in Him, and He would have changed from being the Indicator into the one indicated. Any statement contradicting this truth has no proof, nor do the questions arising therefrom have any answers. There is no god but Allah, Most High and Most Mighty. (And may Allah bless His Prophet, Muhammad and his pure Progeny.)"

[@to6etherwego]

@nick jones well according to the Bible we all have a soul. You can not loose your soul, but that all of us are lost as in far from God. The Bible teaches that sin causes a division in relationship and because of our sin we are separated from a loving relationship with God. Since we have all sinned we are all in the same position, but because God loves us He sent Jesus to pay our ransom and our debt so that we could be brought near to Him. To restore our relationship with Him. This is God's grace and we accept this gift through faith (trusting in the work that Jesus came to do)..... now I know nothing in here that proves there is a God or that we have a soul I am simply stating what the Bible teaches about the matter. So I think the place we all need to start is asking "can the Bible be trusted?"

If theres no god then there's no victim of any crime anc do no such thing as a sin. Quod erat demonstrandom.

Felt sorry for the Dr. Clark’s health. At the end when he’s begging for God to be shown to him, it screams to me a man who was either abandoned or felt deeply disappointed in the past regarding his existence. This isn’t someone to ridicule or be upset about. This is someone, like us, who needs help through the workings of the Holy Spirit. I might be waaaay off in my observation here, but if for anything, I’d say I’d be FILLED WITH JOY if I heard an update that he later found salvation in Christ

Apparently you haven't seen a wolf in sheep's clothing. If you listen the christians are saying is "See, he looks angry, therefor we are right because we are so godly because we know god and everything we know is accurate, true, and we are right by default." It's a response that a manipulator would say. The "angry" guy was right. The man of god was using a persons way of speech as evidence for debate rather than words of actual evidence. When the christians don't like what they hear so they will be extra nice. When they want you to believe every word they say they and will throw out endless amounts of nothingness to overflow you so you cant keep up with it because they don't want you to. It's a way of control. Yet from what I hear from the christians is way worse. They are "nicely" attacking the "angry" guy when the "angry" guy is saying that words in a book written by man doesn't make it true. See how that works? And as a side note, most of the population will sound "angry" when they are passionate about something-- whether christians or not. That's just human nature. Christians will often use shelled whataboutisms. They aren't actually wanting an answer or to answer anything themselves from either side, but will always proclaim truth in their own words.

@@JohnjOcampo They often get mad because of how the "religious right" work very hard at promoting their beliefs and pushing them onto others who don't share those beliefs. They're working to get very right leaning people into city, state, and federal seats of authority, and have a disgust for that which many are fine with [gay marriage, abortion, trans rights, etc.], and try to legislate "morality" [their "morality"] onto those who don't share those convictions. That tends to anger people greatly. And in turn, why Christianity draws in a lot of anger towards itself. As for "wanting to cause harm or cancel",...this isn't the way it should be handled, of course. Being violent or even dismissive of others just propagates the divide between people. It is a failing of the human species, even up to our present time, that too many people _do_ act/react very childish in many areas of life. I don't want to make this any longer than I need to.

read my comment and reply to my comment on the conversation.. that was an awfully disrespectful way to start the conversation by saying that even arguing rationally was taking out of the theistic playbook. Hey I've argued with atheists and christians alike. I've even see Dr. White get just as combative against oneness (modalist) debaters, though perhaps not as expressive (which some people are more expressive than others). Understand why he got upset. Then maybe understand that if from the get go you were under attack that you would remain emotionless. Hey I get it, the atheist will go just as hard at the Christian. D'sousa (if I remember right) and Dennis Prager arguing against Hitchens was similar outcome, though Hitchens came across as arrogant, at least D'sousa and Prager remained much more philosophically focused, while it was Hitchens that used presuppositional arguments and even changed the requirements of the answer of a question after he watched Prager answer it with ease. (there was a reward involved). It is interesting that at least some atheists (Atkins comes to mind) have a vitriolic hatred for even the implication that a supernatural power is involved. However, that doesn't mean that the best way to start a debate is to presuppose the other sides arguments, and then delegitimize the conversation, and then pretend shock when people are not happy. That's just manipulation at that point. It's like telling your kids you're going swimming to get their cooperation in leaving the house, and then go to your fishing hole instead. If you want a meltdown, lie to your kids. You can feign their immaturity if you want, but really it just means you're an asshole. They are just responding to the natural frustration of having been told a lie... Or in the case of Clark, that he was told what his position was and it was deemed unworthy of considering, before he even said it.

I was never able to be an atheist it was always to foolish to think it possible for something to come from nothing. However when someone presented me with how do you know your religion is the right religion I took the bait. I know now I was looking for a way out. I tried three religions and was honest with myself they were silly and all self serving. I eventually went back to saying I was a Christian because it was what i grew up on but by then I had just decided to pick and choose what parts I like and weirdly enough I never put as much effort in trying to understand it as I did paganism, Buddhism, and Hinduism. But then one night out of nowhere I had this intense feeling inside of me and it came out of nowhere and it was screaming guilt for the things I had done as a teenager. I had told a horrible lie and I suddenly couldn't bare it and I messaged my mom and best friend and told them to tell people because I was too ashamed to do it myself. Then over the course of a couple years all those things I was judging differently than the Bible were being clearly proven to be wrong in front of me and then the last domino fell. I prayed in complete honesty to God about how my infertility made me feel. I poured out bitterness and anger and as I spoke I realized how arrogant and messed up I was to think God owed me children. More than that I realized just because I wasn't committing as much outward sins as some of the people I knew who were parents didn't mean that made me somehow deserving or even a good person. Then that night out of nowhere KZbin recommended me Voddie Baucham and the rest is history. I read my bible from beginning to end and start over again when I finish. I come at the world from the Bible and I trust him over myself which granted is easier now because of how many things have been proven true over my emotional arguments but i have learned also all he says is true so I can argue through it logically or go to the Bible and put it in context because most things atheist take from the Bible is a sentence you can go to and read a couple sentences before or after and realize in context it's the opposite of what the Bible is saying.I didn't choose God he changed my heart first. All I wanted a couple years ago was to serve myself in the least obvious way. He fixed that so I could come to him.

Testimony I was born in a Christian family and thought I was a Christian because I went to church on Sundays but the way I lived showed otherwise. I was leading my self to death and also eternal death, I was partying 4 to 5 times a week. I would go to the clubs almost every night till like 3 or 4 in the morning and then I had to get up at 530 for work, I was so used to this cycle that it was easy to run off 1 hour of sleep. I was drinking crazy amounts of alcohol and would drive home so drunk all the time and I don’t even remember how I got home most of the time. My buddy even said I would serve all over the road. There was no words from anyone that was gonna stop the way I was living until god put a stop to it all and completely changing my life and also my eternal life. On May 10 2017 I was out with friends, we were in two separate cars and the one car sped in front of us without knowing a sharp Conner was coming up. They then skimmed the side of a hydro pole and went air born perfectly going threw two trees. Then the pole came down and landed right on my head when I was in the passenger seat, it crushed my head right open and turned my brain 90 degrees. I was pronounced dead, even in the police report it said i died. I stoped breathing so they punctured my lungs with a tube so I good breath and put 4 bags of blood in me. I was in a coma for 2 weeks and the doctors told my family I most likely won’t survive and if I do I will be a vegetable for the rest of my life and after two months I walked out of the hospital looking like nothing really happened to me. I had thousands of people all over the world praying for me and god saved my life and I became a strong Christian after this, That’s why that day became the best day of my life. Also after that miracle from god there was more. My right eye got pushed down to my mouth so they did another surgery to move my eye up and thought o would never be able to see again out of that eye but I still had vision but extremely bad vision and the eye doctor told me I have a lot of damage behind my eyeball that can never go away so my vision in that eye will never improve, so I got glasses but after awhile the glasses were making it worse so I stoped using them. Over time my vision seemed great but I thought it was from me just using my good eye to see. Seven months after the first eye appointment I had another one and they did all the testing again. At the end the eye doctor comes in with so much shock on his face and he was extremely confused. He said Kyle, I don’t know what happened or how this is even possible but some how all the damage behind your eye is completely gone to where you no longer even need glasses. I went from a lost boy leading myself to hell to a guy with a strong relationship with the lord are father in heaven, to where I can no longer drink and love spreading gods amazing grace and love!

Kyle thank you so much for sharing. My story is not at all extreme but still life changing but hearing stories like this make me take another step closer to God even when I thought I couldn't get any closer. I to was raised in a religious household and always wanted to believe that God exist but I could never fathom his existence. I prayed to be a follower of Christ even tho I didn't believe it but wanted it to be true. The fear of God (the fear of the absence of God...hell) was what pushed me to want to open my heart. The Bible says those who seek the Lord will be presented His truth. The world around me seemed so dark and meaningless with God not taking a priority in the over all view of the world. It started to make me take my views and what I believe is right and stack it against society and the more I looked at my views the more they were similar to the teaching of Christ. Then I decided that I should actually read the Bible from start to finish and not just read but understand it. If there was a verse I did not understand then I would research it and try to understand its meaning. Before I finished reading the Bible (which I am still working on) I was close to finally believing. Not to jump around in time but years ago when I was around 10-15 I remember my sister reading a book called case for Christ it is always stuck with me. Years later I see that they made a movie about it and it's on Netflix. That movie took it from a scientific point to understand Christ and how he the Bible is true. By the end of the movie I was on my knees sobbing thanking God for giving me the gift of knowing his love and how sobbing for Jesus for his sacrifice. It's crazy how it changes you from your heart first to the rest of you. I always say God is the mind (all knowing) Jesus is the heart (Died for the love for us) and the holy spirit is our hand (which empowers us to do God's work) I still read the Bible and am still working through it but I love KZbin for being such a great source and finding videos that show the Truth of God. I have my Bible hand and hand when watching the videos to compare what they are saying with my Bible. Just wanted to share and thank you for doing the same.

It was instead an argument from the impossibility of the contrary. Durbin and White basically said, If the God of Christianity doesn't exist, then this doesn't really matter. That kind of statement assumes that he is, but like a demand to argue from a neutral view point assumes God doesn't. The question is, which assume is consistent and corresponds with the nature of reality the best? Some may not prefer that position or method, but it still argues the point/topic at hand. Atheists dont like it because they have a hard time working through their own inconsistencies and faith claims. They lack the grammar for the things they do by nature, day by day.

I prayed that I would no longer be burdened with my immense fears. I prayed for the savior to enter my life and heart and to never leave. Slowly over time I got better and better. I used to have more anxious and depressed days than I did good days. Now I go long periods of time without depression or anxiety. I still have them from time to time but everyday gets a little better.

Witnessing an event for which you have no explanation does not indicate anything other than that you don't understand what happened. You didn't have an explanation for your daughter's recovery, therefore god. Ridiculous. This is the fallacy known as "the argument from ignorance." In ancient times people did not know what caused thunder and lightning. So they ascribed those phenomena to the anger of their deities. Later someone figured out how these events work and what causes them. No need for a god there. There are countless examples of ignorance followed by careful research followed by explanations of erstwhile mysterious phenomena. This is what we call science. It is a very simple extrapolation from the dawning of understanding of anything to the assumption that, given enough time and hard work, scientists and other serious researchers will explain further mysteries. Scientists and atheists have no vested interest in proving that god doesn't exist. No honest scientist or atheist worthy of the title has ever claimed that god does not exist or did not cause anything or anybody to exist. On the other hand, at no time has a scientist ever concluded that a god ever did anything or indeed ever existed. Why? Because so far, no evidence has been presented for such a phenomenon. Scientists and atheists simply don't know whether a god or gods exist. And, by the way, neither do you or I. The reason: lack of evidence. An honest scientist and an honest atheist will simply say that he or she remains unconvinced of anything: god, gravity, string theory, the "god particle" you name it, until presented with credible evidence. This is not a complicated principle. The faith-based claims, the appeals to biblical sources, tales of miraculous healings are simply assertions, claims, interpretations of scripture, wishful thinking. They are not evidence of anything beyond the ignorance and simple-mindedness of the claimant. As has been said by greater minds than mine: Faith is an unreliable path to truth. The two atheists in this debate are disarmingly modest with their claims to knowledge and admissions when they do not know. True, one of them was an irritating wild card (not that this invalidates his position-it simply makes for an unproductive rant). The two apologists in this debate are clearly educated, articulate, dignified and forceful speakers. It became clear that such intellectual window-dressing, while civilised and cordial, tried (and failed) to pass as wisdom or even useful knowledge. The deafeningly loud clatter of presuppositional apologetics that was the foundation of their arguments disqualified them both from being taken seriously. And that is something neither of them seemed to understand. It simply undermined every statement either of them made, notwithstanding the arrogant teflon which coated everything they said.

Clark was simply looking for 'gotcha' moments, looking for a single 'error' to use to prove the Christian belief system as false. His performance here shows he knows nothing of God nor His creation of human free will (evidenced by the Pharoah comments). He apparently thinks, as many atheists seem to, that God should 'fix' everything and make everything OK for us on earth (evidenced for why God doesn't miracle new limbs for us). Clark thinks miracles occur by our demand (evidenced by his suggestion that we test God by drinking poison). He also ignores that God could have a hand in science and medicine and believes it exists solely because Man created it. As the old punchline goes, 'No, no. Get your own dirt.'

"Faith Come" (by hearing) & (hearing by) The "word" of God, full of power & truth! The key to "change" is "Receiving" the Imputation of God's Righteousness through Christ through "Word"=Christ! Many many wicked can never come to this knowledge because their "deeds" are evil , & thus God cursed them into a Romans 1:28 Reprobate status of cursedness. All glory is God's.

First miracle: the entire universe began to exist from nothing. Second miracle: life began to exist from nothing but chemicals. Third miracle: consciousness and awareness of morality and even awareness of time. That dude needs to first define "miracle". He can then be shown a multitude of them.

I’ve been struggling because I raised atheist. But listen to this atheist guy is definitely pushing me quickly closer to GOD and Jesus🙏🏼

[@nickjones5435]

Thats a very interesting perspective as it had the total opposite effect on me. Why would having 2 charlatans exposed as being incapable of supporting their claims of a god and so needing to resort to childish word games, enhance your belief in a god that, I'm guessing, you can't provide credible evidence of either?

[@DRayL_]

Don't look at other people to determine what you believe. Do research on your own. A lot of it! Take the time.

[@user-fd9wz7ns4f]

I pray you run to Jesus, He loves you! He has a purpose and plan for you!

[@nickjones5435]

@Diana Previlus Lol Why is it that whenever Christians make absurd, ridiculous, proposterous claims like that you can never back them up? 😑 You always run like a scalded cat when asked to support your outlandish absurd claims because all you're doing is repeating the rhetoric of charlatan preachers! Does prayer work? If it does, don't waste it on me, please pray for an end to childhood poverty and the war in Ukraine overnight. If those things don't happen then we'll know that an omnipotent omnibenevolent OMNIPRESENT god does not exist. And please present credible evidence that Jesus loves me or is it just the sickening sophistry used to socially control the simple minded? If you run away from those two questions just think to yourself that CLEARLY your religion, book and claims have absolutely no validity whatsoever!

[@nickjones5435]

@Diana Previlus BELIEVERS. Take a moment to think of all the things you would do if you were a god. The lives you would save and improve.The children you'd stop from suffering and dying. Children you'd stop from abuse. Tge women you'd stop from being raped. How much better would the world be? Then think why your god hasn't done those things. 😢😢😢

I feel so sorry for the Dr in the green shirt. The reason why he said "show me" so many times especially at the end was because he is desperate for God. It was like he was pleading with the Christians. I will be praying for this man! The only one who can show him is God.

[@kimberleerivera1483]

Thank you! Yes, he truly is desperate, and needs The LORD JESUS CHRIST! He is looking for a "sign" instead of seeking GOD with all his heart, mind, soul and strength!!! He acted as though he as a demonic possession.

Don't be sorry for Dr Clark.......he is frustrated by the fact educated people still think a "god" exists. Just like some people in Britain think we need a monarchy ......

[@user-rf2tn8mk3f]

​@@Demonoicgamer666 Its not up to Christians to prove Thor doesn't exist because Christians are not claiming he does. Its up to the atheist to prove him existing or not. Christians are only claiming the existence of the God of the Bible. There is rational evidence to believe in the God of the Bible such as complex creation and verifiable history. You don't find this with Thor.

I've noticed there's 2 major ways of thinking for atheists. Not willing to put in the effort to understand and have an open mind and just laziness. Or pure hatred towards God and wanting to destroy Christians. The second one is the Hitchens, Dawkins and Clarks of the world.
