(Edit: The original “clip” video we had is no longer available, but the full debate video is above. Obviously the timestamps below no longer apply!)

Some highlights:

0:28 “Spacetime had a beginning”

1:38 “The Universe is fine tuned for life”

3:43 “Life requires a creator”

5:20 “Consciousness requires a spirit/soul”

7:34 “God is needed for objective moral values”

9:07 “Jesus was resurrected”

You can see the full debate this clip is from right here.
