On Friday, Ray Comfort debated Matt Dillahunty of the Atheist Experience on Christian radio AM980 KKMS about the existence of God. Matt's position was that he didn't believe in God because he had not seen any compelling evidence of His existence. He left it up to Ray to present that evidence. Naturally, Ray went straight to Romans 1:20 and told Matt that he didn't need to prove God to anyone; he only needed to warn people of the danger of hell. He spent most of his time preaching to Matt. It wasn't even a real debate. Neither side presented any evidence for their position; therefore Matt lost.

Throughout the debate, Matt only made himself look silly by denying God's existence in the face of all the evidence in creation.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

If, as Matt claims, he really can't see evidence of God's existence in creation, then the Bible is wrong. All Matt had to do to win the debate was prove he didn't think creation was evidence of a Creator, just as Ken Ham proved to Bill Nye he didn't think the evidence for evolution was evidence for evolution.

Matt even went so far as to claim he used to be a Christian. He was raised a Southern Baptist and was studying to become a pastor when he began having doubts. But we know that no one can lose their salvation; therefore he must never have been a Christian in the first place.

2 Tim 2:13 If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

In other words, if we lose faith, we are still one with Jesus and He believes in Himself, so we can't really lose faith. So if Matt really did lose his faith, the Bible is wrong. All he had to do to win the debate was prove that he really did believe in Jesus, which he could have done by not falling away.

It's been heartening to see the atheist/ evolutionist camp get such a thrashing of late.
