Esquilax is exercising her ability to critically think and use common sense. No advanced degrees necessary.
My point being that despite her bluster, she would be no match in a formal debate for the better-trained WLC.
WLC is a good debater. I wouldn't want to be on a stage with him. He knows how to get the audience on his side.
But his apologetics fail as do all apologetics. He employs circular reasoning, credentialism (which you seem fond of as well), begging the question, fallacy of composition, and his main fall back argument (direct witness of the Holy Spirit) isn't a logical argument at all. Offstage, his arguments fall apart. It's not really his fault, no one has been able to define or argue God into existence with logic that can stand up to reasonable scrutiny.
I think Esquilax would wipe the floor with him in a formal forum debate where WLC's theatrics will be of no avail.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
