Atheist Debates - Is there Good Evidence for God? Matt Dillahunty, Tyler Vela

Matt Dillahunty and Tyler Vela debate whether there is good evidence for a god.

[wildz]

"Do you have a dog?" Tyler
"No, I don't have any dogs." -Matt
"That is not what I am asking." - Tyler
"That IS what you asked!!" - Matt
"I don't accept your answer..." Tyler

Very manipulative.

[q.e.d.]

Tyler: “I totally understand everything you’re saying. You’re still not answering the question.”
Matt: “I answered that already.”
Tyler: “I understand, but you still haven’t answered my question yet.”
Dude! Weak!

Tyler has it all:
Ironic condescension, a boatload of straw men, and a great big word salad with croutons made of lies.

[kragratt]

I must say, Mr. Vela presented the best case for irrational thinking I have ever heard.

[meaper]

Tyler: Blaming Matt for not accapting his good evidence.

Also Tyler: Not presenting any evidence.

[Scarletpooky]

I'm tired of hearing christians say "that's not what the bible says" when someone quotes the EXACT words that's in the bible.

I love how this theist basically opened with "I'm not going to argue facts because that doesn't get where I want to go and then I'm going to argue against atheist strawmen" He's a walking presupposition meme! I filled my theist bingo card within the first 4 minutes of his opening. My (non-existent) God the gish gallop!

tyler was so confident for no reason lmao

[JavPar]

Thank you Matt for exposing Tyler's dishonesty.

[SamuelAko]

God! this is painful to watch! The theist should just turn of his wifi and move on with life.

[jmjw]

"Either everything is X, or not X."

"Provisionally."

Either he's dishonest, or knows vastly less than he thinks he knows.

[creampuffme]

Multiple times Matt has repeated Vela's words back to him verbatim, and Vela literally says, "That's not what I said." This guy is a so dishonest. Then the because he knows he doesn't actually have good reason. It also makes me doubt the quality ond veracity of his academic career.

I just don’t understand how anyone could be a Christian. Blood sacrifice, substitutionary atonement and the belief that all humans deserve to be tortured for eternity for the the horrible crime of simply being born is just so bizarre to me.

[swordblaster]

If tyler were 1% as smart as he thinks he is, he'd still be struggling.

[RDaneelOliwav]

The Christian is straight up just reading out his script which is filled with fancy sounding words

[aricliljegren]

To the theist - thank you for demonstrating yet again that no amount of smugness or use of big words can save a bad argument.

[ModernDayDebate]

Honored to have gotten to host you again, Matt!

[abdeton]

Matt is an incredible logician. Love him!

[LikUhBOSS]

Watching Tyler struggle to explain his garbage tennis ball analogy is gold because he seemed so confident with it only to realize he has never actually thought it all the way through.
