Atheist professor - No evidence for god

Reflection

The claim 'there is no evidence for God' is one of the most repeated statements of our time, but it almost always turns out to mean 'no evidence of the kind I have decided in advance to accept.' The evidence for God is philosophical, historical, scientific, personal and moral. You can disagree with it, but pretending it does not exist is intellectually lazy. This short clip exposes how quickly the slogan falls apart under gentle questioning.

Questions to sit with

• What kind of evidence would you accept for God's existence?
• Have you considered that the evidence might already be there, just not in the form you expected?
• Is your scepticism really about evidence, or about what believing would cost you?
