Evidence and the Existence of God

The debate centers around the evidence used to support the existence of God, specifically the Christian God, versus a secular humanist perspective. A key point raised is the claim that modern people should not be expected to believe in ancient events based on unverifiable hearsay. To support this view, the speaker suggests that God should provide observable, verifiable evidence of miracles today, rather than relying on accounts from ancient texts. This insistence on contemporary evidence seeks to highlight the perceived unfairness of relying on beliefs formed without rigorous authentication, contrasting religious faith with empirical reasoning.
