Justin Brierley’s Unbelievable Ignorance (Part 2)
Channel: Venaloid
Date: 2021-12-19

Justin Brierley is a Christian radio host who has been talking to atheists for 10 years, but he doesn't seem to have been listening: his arguments are no different from, and no more nuanced than, those of any other apologist, and I'd like to expose this disappointing fact. 

In this video, I will examine Justin's arguments for why he thinks God is the best explanation for human existence. Unsurprisingly, these arguments amount to little more than a low-effort gish gallop of the fine-tuning argument, the teleological argument, and argument from incredulity, and an argument from ignorance. 

This will be a four-part series, wherein each part will discuss one topic from Justin's talk.
Part 1: Christianity vs Naturalism, and what makes a good explanation
Part 2: Human Existence
Part 3: Human Value
Part 4: Human Purpose
