You can do better than that one Jimi,   If you understood what the debate was actually about the burden of proof was on the Atheist, Mr. Scott for it was him that was in the affirmative.  It was his Contention that he could prove that God doesn't exist or prove a negative which he, in the first three minutes of the Debate, admitted he could not do.  Kyle's job was to counter or convince the audience that Mr. Scott could not do what he said he could.  Kyle didn't have to do that because Mr. Scott admitted up front in his first statement that he could not do what he said he could.  Kyle therefore had no argument to prove or advance. 

 

Your Atheist of the year, within the first three minutes of the debate conceded that he could not do what he broadcast to everyone that he could.  The debate was not advertised or about Kyle being able to prove God does exist, although Kyle said he would happily take that challenge.  This particular debate was the Atheist, Scott, saying he could prove God doe not exist, which he did not do.

 

If though you had followed Kyle's responses he, wisely, used atheistic reasoning and turned it around to prove the existence of God and left the Atheist of the year without a counter and searching for answers.  More than one time, when he was obviously stumped and caught without ability to answer he defaulted to saying well that's a straw man argument or giving some non-answer saying that it was two different basis.   

 

Any atheist, if they were truly honest, after viewing that debate may not change or alter their own beliefs but IF HONEST would concede that Kyle completely dominated the debate.  Now the question is whether or not the atheist was adequately prepared, up to the task of debating, or just finally found a Christian that was more than capable to defend the faith. 

 

I am just curious Jimi,  did you watch the debate yourself or was you there?
