Reason:

I don't know if I've ever seen a 4-point system debate be what I believe to be a tie, but if there ever was one, it is this one.

Sources: Con and Pro both used a variety of wonderful sources, ranging from History.com to JSTOR

S&G: No major errors

Conduct: Both very polite

Arguments: The majority of this debate was about specific discrepancies in the Bible. This debate was not about what is and is not correct in the Bible, but about the impossibility of the existence of the Christian God (Resolution: The Christian God does not exist). The most relevant bit here is when pro provides the All-Knowing vs. All-Powerful argument, but con does a great job of explaining how that is possible. Pro just repeats what he said earlier, not really refuting con. Both pro and con could have taken their argument their one step further to prove their point, but neither did so. For that reason, it is a tie.
