+Trevor T You are right. But there is no way to use the argument against them because they refuse any argument that deviates from the script. He KNOWS rather than believes. His mind could never IMAGINE contact with god. He has actual contact with god and he knows it because god told him. End of argument.

+V I guess some people and the author of this video like to expose Sye for what his style of apologetic really is. Which in my mind is just word games, for it to work you have to already accept that a god exists not gods but a single Christian god. Also known as indoctrination into Christianity......... Love your channel subbed for a few years now.

In essence you must either agree that it is possible for you to not know anything at all, or agree that you are borrowing the validity for your ability to reason validly from the christian worldview. If you deny this simple truth, you are simply denying truth.

+TheATJD"I'm arguing his entire first claim."You mean you're arguing against the claim, "I don't understand what your God is"?If your response to this is "How do you know you don't know what my God is," you should watch the rest of the playlist, and then use your head.Also, you should quit the "How do you know that" game. We all know you guys are talking about epistemology and ask this over and over to get your opponent to talk about their foundation for knowledge. Just cut the crap and ask, "What's your foundation for knowledge?"

+BarbecueSlop That's like saying: "this is my only car. It is green. My only car is red."and me saying: "that violates the law of non-contradiction"  and then you saying: "well let's just ignore that for now and move on, assuming my only car is red, and that my only car is green."

+BarbecueSlop I'm arguing his entire first claim. You can't tell me to just 'accept' this as true and blindly move on to see what else he has to say (assuming I 'accepted' the fallacy that IS THIS first claim) until you FIRST argue my claim that it's not. Debate doesn't work like that.

+TheATJDOh hello, Mr. Presup. Looks like you're trying to take after Sye. Perhaps you should watch the entire playlist before commenting since everything you said has already been addressed. Have a nice day =)

+BarbecueSlop One would follow with "How do you know that you don't understand what this God is?"    The point is, he can't, unless he borrows validity of his ability to reason from the christian worldview. If he continues in the atheistic worldview his answer (if he's intellectually honest), would be "I use my senses and reasoning '(or whatever you want to call it)' in order to validate that i KNOW for certain that I don't understand what God is". The next question would be "How do you know that your senses and reasoning are valid in order to validate that you KNOW for certain that you don't understand what God is?"  Here's the point. Without borrowing from the christian worldview, you cannot logically claim to know anything for certain, and if you cannot know anything for certain, you cannot know if you cannot know anything for certain.

because personal incredulity is when you say, "I don't understand, so it's probably not true." That's not what the author of this video is saying.The author is answering the question, "Is it possible God exists," and his response is, "I can't even answer that question because I don't understand what your God is."
