New Video Series on My YouTube Channel: "The Verdict Is In"

I've decided to launch a new YouTube video series, which I call "The Verdict Is In" (a play on Josh McDowell's famous book, "The Jury Is In").

The first two videos are as follows:

  1. Assessment of Frank Zindler's opening statement in his famous 1991 "Atheism vs. Christianity" debate with William Lane Craig: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5QAvmnRlfhbOAr8Aop4_beNmUi2UAimt
  2. Assessment of Greg Bahnsen's opening statement in his famous 1985 "Does God Exist?" debate with Gordon Stein: https://youtu.be/tMlm0Ehz1ZU

Note: I do not intend to release further videos regarding the Craig-Zindler debate, but I do plan to record additional videos for the Bahnsen-Stein debate. Bahnsen's presuppositionalist approach is so unusual that it warrants the extra level of analysis. Plus, I intend to use Stein's performance as a case study in how not to debate.

DISCLAIMER (5 May 2023): I consider this a partial blog post on the prior improbability of the alleged resurrection of Jesus. I use the word "partial" because I'm not presently motivated to write what I would consider to be the entire blog post. If my level of motivation changes in the future, I will update the blog post.
