That really pissed me off. After he got to the point that he said he would prove god is necessary, everything relied on the belief that god is necessary. This is typical xtian apologetics in which to the xtians themselves, something profound and intellectual has been stated, but in reality his statements were completely devoid of any meaning. This was just faux intellectual masturbation to dazzle the home crowd.
