When I watched Alex's response video to Ben Shapiro, I immediately said "Boy, Alex did a good job with his replies. It would be cool if Trent did a rebuttal to see his perspective on the matter" well, it seemed like I got what I wished for lol.

Alex's arguments are so easily defeated that my brain almost hurts while listening to him. And as a former ultra-confident atheist now converted to the Catholic Faith, I say this with no sarcasm or ill intentions whatsoever.

I think Alex forgets that by quantum theory, energy is quantized and not continuous. That was the whole "ultraviolet catastrophe" issue.

Love philosophy and metaphysics. Makes my brain hurt

Challenging Feser... that's bold Alex

Very IMPORTANT! It is absolutly not true that there is an infinity number of degrees that the cofee can be colled neither the distance between hands can not be reduced infinitively. the reason for that is that physics show that space and time are not continous but discret. We cannot add and infinity amount of decimals points to the T° of the coffee. The smaller distance and time period is given by the planck scale. That is the principle of quantum physics.

Me trying to understand this before my coffee has kicked in 🥴🥴🥴🥴

The potential of my head hurting after watching this video,......actually happened. 😁

It seems neither of the atheists have really spent time pondering the concept of Divine Simplicity. Most of Aquinas' proofs are, first and foremost, an argument that Divine Simplicity is necessary to explain the complexity of this world.

Omg ,when I watched Alex I thought to myself how Trent will respond to that and here it is .

Sitting here pretending to understand anything

This is such a good reply to Alex.

Thank you, Trent. I understand these arguments better now!

I like that Alex shared his patron only segment on Ed feser. That was generous

Alex O'Connor's objection using a block theory of the universe actually explains the eternity of God. In a block universe nothing is simultaneous (spatially or temporally) to observers who are part of the block universe, but for the Eternal God EVERYTHING is simultaneous.

I love how Trent brings in precision rules 💕🤓

Comment for the algorithm.

If I had a dollar for every scholar who reverted to occams razor to "debunk" miracles but somersaulted through mental gymnastics to reject a creator....

POV: You see that Trent is defending an argument from motion, and now are wondering how quickly MoR will take to respond to it.

The answer to the problem of "potential actuality" you give is spot on and I was happy that one of my philosophical heroes was brought to bear. When I saw Alex's video, Boethius' definition of eternity immediately came to mind. "Interminabilis vita, tota, simul et perfecta possessio." I believe that many (if not most) of atheists' most challenging challenges come from a defective understanding of eternity (evil, free will, etc.). Now, eternity (like everything else about God) is intricately bound to the divine simplicity, and I wonder how apologists such as WLC manage to fair so well in their debates without having this notion very clear. I think he (Dr. Craig) would save himself some intellectual acrobatics if he did come to understand that God's perfection calls for eternity and perfect simplicity.
