    Clearly had a small unit. Wants nothing more than to fight and argue. Who’s listening to this garbage?

  • Please stop having Nadir Ahmed on the show

    Nadir Ahmed it’s probably one of the worst debaters I’ve seen on this show. He is a double standard, lunatic, who seriously can’t debate😂

    Love it. Less flat earth. More atheist v. Christian please. 🙏

    Update: If A. Wilson is a “Christian”, then no wonder people can’t stand them. A.W. sounds about as wicked as his OT “god”.

  • Needs a name change BIASED

    The name of the podcast should be changed. These are NOT debates and it comes down to the moderators. They are horrible at maintaining the speakers or keeping them on topic, especially the religious affirmative.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DEBATE: Flat Vs Globe | Iron Horse Vs Daniel Turner
Q: How did Einstein use data from Michelson-Morley to develop relativity, if at all?
The guest explains that the null result of Michelson-Morley prompted Einstein to develop relativity as a framework where motion could be relative rather than absolute.
DEBATE: Flat Vs Globe | Iron Horse Vs Daniel Turner
Q: What is more plausible, hollow earth or a flat infinite plane?
Among the two, Iron Horse argues hollow earth as more plausible due to internal expansion ideas, while noting the flat-earth model lacks a single, verifiable global model.
DEBATE: Christian Nationalism on Trial | Leslie vs Rob Noerr
Q: Is Christian nationalism inherently anti-democratic if 90% of a country are Christian and vote for Christian policies?
The argument centers on whether a religious majority can legitimately shape laws without abolishing democracy; the opposing view cautions that it risks eroding foundational democratic protections and minority rights.
OPEN CHALLENGE PART 1: Christianity Is More Likely to Be Truth than Islam Ft. The Jons
Q: If there are multiple Qur'ans, how do you maintain Islam's core tenets?
The guest contends that while recitations vary, core doctrinal content remains, and thus a single authoritative Qur'an claim is not strictly necessary for faith.
OPEN CHALLENGE PART 1: Christianity Is More Likely to Be Truth than Islam Ft. The Jons
Q: Our claim today is Christianity is more likely to be true than Islam. Why do you disagree with the topic?
The guest argues Islam might be more probable due to alternative textual and historical considerations, including claims about preservation and authorship controversial to Christian readings.
