Debate Teacher Reacts: Greg Bahnsen vs. Gordon Stein

Can you do something on how to debate?

AMEN! Thank you SO much for doing this! I remember listening to this debate and thinking the Bahnsen completely outmatched Stein, and the sound byte of Stein walking into that zinger on immaterial things is classic!!!

Greg Bahnsen vs Edward Tabash please

Gotta love the canned applause… keep up the great work and keep the debate reviews coming!

I'm so glad you finally covered this.
Bahnsen was a juggernaut. May he Rest in Everlasting Peace.

Yay! I asked for this Debate Teacher Reacts during your AMA. Thank you for listening!!
(And I know I'm not the only one.)

It's time for Bahnsen vs Tabash 😆

Thanks!

Is there a reason Bahnsen is seen as some sort of intellectual heavyweight? I don't get it.

"you're just missing a great opportunity to seek truth''. Yep, and over and over and over that is what the atheist does. Hmm, I wonder why. Oh wait, no I actually don't bc Paul covered that in Romans 1:18-23.

FINALLY!!!! Thanks for doing this!

Tom jump vs Joshua pillows

PLEASE DO JAMES WHITE VS ELDER RAWCHAA! That will do numbers!

Collision: Christopher Hitchens vs. Douglas Wilson (2009)

Thank you for this analysis!
Will you do the Bahnsen-Sproul discussion?

James White vs Dan Barker!!!

This is why I love presuppositional apologetics… it most plainly puts the two opposing worldviews together and shows why presupposing God is the only way to make sense of reality when compared to lesser presuppositions like atheism. Thanks for finally covering it Bahnsen is a beast, I wish I could talk like that.

Dr. Bahnsen cleaned Dr. Steins clock. This was because Dr. Stein was unprepared to have this discussion. There are legitimate pushback on the transcendental argument, I haven't heard a good one yet. Just ones that have no answer available to us.

he's back at it!!!

I would really appreciate it if you would do a debate reacts video on Kyle Butt vs Bart Ehrman. I think your views would love it.

Glad revealed apologetics gave a shout out. Very happy to find this channel. Thank you for your content sir

I suggest reacting to Dr. Bahnsen vs Mr. Tabash as well.

I love this debate. Also the White v Flowers debate had two cross fire periods so I hope you cover the other one too 😂

Would you be against doing a video on the street epistemology stuff?

Thank you for this brother! I’m hooked

Though this debate predates it, it calls to mind the debate between David Wood and John Loftus. One of the other few times I've witnessed such a one-sided whoopin'.

I call it the no true atheist fallacy 😂

Good stuff. Bahnsen won.

I believe Dr. Bahnsen had a debate on a radio program with George Smith, the author that Stein maintains wrote the best book on atheism that he has ever read.

Stein did not do his research. He just assumed he was dealing with just another classical evidentialist, which is why he attempted to head Baunsen at the pass by refuting the ontological, teleological etc... in his opening remark.

The funny thing about this debate is that both Bahnsen and Stein were terrible. I would bet majority of philosophers that have seen the debate would have failed both of them. I really like what philosopher Kelly James Clark said about Bahnsen's "performance": "Quite frankly, I found Bahnsen’s arguments precious thin and his approach wearisome – he simply repeated over and over that unbelievers have no grounds for reason and then offered the briefest defense of his view that only Christian theism provides grounds for reason. Van Til, I’m afraid, had a similar awkward tendency to prefer assertion over argument." I'm in full agreement with Clark's position. This debate was a failure for both the Christian and the Atheist.

Anything you say begins with man and from there you mold it , your gouse can't stand.

Stien could not attack the presup position fo to a lack of understanding of said methodology.

18 38 , would you not agree all atheist positions are in deed flawed?

I was introduced to Bahnsen and presupp. through this classic debate.

I love Christ, debates, debating, apologetics, etc. But I have to add that you are also a great personality and do a really good job of this. God bless!

Throughout the debate, Stein basically did nothing with Bahnsen’s Transcendental Argument other than dismiss it arbitrarily.

Gordon Stein is NOT an "atheist" NOW!

atheists put blind faith in the belief that a non-programmed-by-a-Mind, unguided-by-a-Mind accident can be "trusted" to give them "truth." I don't have enough blind faith to be an atheist!!

So, since the laws of logic are immaterial and God in immaterial, then God can/does exist and the LoL originate in God? Nah, since the same argument could be made for the existence of unicorns and many other gods, I gotta say, nope.

I don't know what planet you live on but on earth, the definition of atheism is just as the Greeks said it thousands of years ago. If it is easier for you to attack a definition that I, for example don't hold, and it makes you feel worm and fuzzy, then by all means do so.
Bottom line is:
You are a theist and you claim that a supernatural entity exists.
I'm an atheist and I say, prove it.
You keep talking for hours without providing substantial evidence that support the claim.
I say, I don't believe you.
Simple. No word salad required.
My problem is not with a nonexistent God, it is with the ones that make the claim that an entity that can not be proven within reasonable doubt that exists in our reality.
You mentioned Bertrand Russell. He provided an analogy. The famous teapot analogy.
Most theist respond by saying that it is a category error because the teapot is not the same category as god.
In other words, the plane flew above their head and it never landed on their brain.
Last but not least, Bahnsen was a great snake oil salesman. His philosophical garbage is something that has surpassed the outer limits of human imagination.

Bahnsen was giving Stein an education in philosophy in real time and he was more clueless afterwards. Atheists have not moved past Stein level of analysis, they are still clueless of the logical problems they swallow like camels.

"Bahnsen knows how to debate." Understatement of the century 🤣

"Debate teacher"

It's more like christian evangelist"

Is there a modern-day Greg Bahnsen?
