The God of the Jews exists, and Judaism, as explained by Orthdoxy, is the correct religion.

I apologize for the rushed and unorganized nature of my arguments. Passover starts in an hour, and it was this or nothing. 1. The point I was trying to make is that the fact that a law of nature that a law of nature automatically excludes something from it (cause and effect simultaneously dictates everything must have a cause and that there is something that does not have a cause) means that something exist that is not bound by the laws of our universe. I will say again, claiming the universe arose from vacuum fluctuations is meaningless. What created the system of random fluctuations? What gave the vacuum the ability to spontaneously warp? Just because my opponent labels my argument as God-of-the-gaps does not render it untrue. The law of cause and effect was never broken. The laws of the universe do not apply to God, so He cannot break them. Also, claiming another supernatural being created the universe is semantics. Any supernatural being who created the universe is God by definition. 2. Evolution is both random and not random. Yes, the traits kept by natural selection are deliberate, but natural selection does control mutation. First, the being must mutate randomly, and then natural selection keeps the being to reproduce. So, essentially, the traits are randomly introduced. The level of mutation required, plus the odds of a mutation that is good enough for natural selection to keep, created a timeline that does not match the age of the earth or even the universe. This is the most common problem brought up with the theory of evolution, and it currently does not have an answer. Bad things that happen are exception, not the rule. The proof is that we call them bad, not normal. Con has not explained why the whole world is not a living hell. If God is evil, then Hollywood is more creative than Him. Also, I don't recall saying God is the only way to salvation, but even if He were, making himself blindingly obvious pretty much usurps free will, which makes it impossible to earn happiness. A disservice to us. 3. To be honest, I don't entirely understand Cons argument. However he wants to set up the system, God cannot simply bombard us with things in the hopes of causing happiness. It is obvious to pretty much everyone that people who receive charity do not enjoy it. God must set up a system in which we earn our happiness. 4. Heaven is a different reality that our world. In our world, people naturally feel empathy to those who suffer. Perhaps in heaven the understanding that people are being cleansed of their sins is gratifying. All we know is that non-marr-able happiness in this world is impossible. The same is not necessarily true of the next. 5. I'm not aware that I ever claimed God cannot do evil. Even if that were true, however, imprinting us with an evil instinct is not evil. On the contrary, giving us a challenge to overcome puts us in the position to earn more happiness. It is a kindness. Making doing good naturally would not exactly allow us to claim we worked to do good. 6. To the contrary, there were many cotemporary beliefs about non-divine magic. The bible tells when Moses went before pharaoh the first time, he turned his staff into a snake to prove God sent him. Pharaoh was unimpressed and summoned his own magicians to turn their staffs into snakes. Clearly, people believed in supernatural, yet non-divine, events. Certainly, it is a miracle that God spoke to1.2 million people. But even if it weren't, it still would not matter. The fact there was a miracle does not make them listen to God, the fact that God told them what to do made them listen to God! People conceived Jesus' "miracles" as irrelevant magic. I'm not sure how God speaking is magic. Additionally, we don't have 1.2 million reports that are word-for-word. We have one report that 1.2 million people corroborated. It as if somebody told you what happened and then 1.2 million people said "yes, we saw that, too." That is very convincing! 7. How would people know he is telling the truth he is the son of God? By monumental I mean holding an event that matches the first one in believability. And the testimony of 1.2 million people is far more convincing that one person claiming to be a prophet, or a messiah, or a god (or one of his relatives.) 8. It's not a matter of getting the word out. It is a matter of using an incontrovertible method, like the first time. Christianity was lucky to be the one of the multitudes of contemporary cults to be adapted as the official religion of the powerful Roman Empire. That does not make it more convincing. 9. Agreed. 10. Non-orthodox Judaism does not claim to have oral tradition of how to do things. Con says this himself. Instead, in each generation, the rabbis make up their own interpretation to their own convenience. Orthodoxy is the only branch that claims an unchanged oral tradition. Reformism And Conservativism both agree to this. Thank you.
