Joe Schmidt

Joe Schmidt, a philosophy doctoral student from Princeton, dives into a groundbreaking reverse modal ontological argument for atheism. He discusses how traditional ontological arguments aim to prove God's existence through concepts. William Lane Craig, initially skeptical, shares his shift to defending these arguments. The duo explores modal logic's dynamics, debating the feasibility of a reverse argument that claims the nonexistence of God leads to impossibility. Their engaging dialogue challenges listeners to consider the implications of possibility in the debate between theism and atheism.
