What’s The Atheist’s Metaphysical Basis For Anything? – Ep.356 – The Great Debate – Stein’s 2nd Cross-Examination

What’s The Atheist’s Metaphysical Basis For Anything?

While this is supposed to be Stein’s 2nd cross-examination of Bahnsen, we see Bahnsen causes the atheist to stumble by trying to get him to provide the atheist’s metaphysical basis for anything – here specifically for math and the laws of logic. The Christian has a basis, one that the atheist doesn’t like, but that’s better than nothing or a lack of the ability to provide anything.
