Reason:

Massive BoP failure.

Conduct for forfeiture (con missed two at the end, pro missed in in the middle).

A couple of the arguments caught my attention:

Silver
Pro claims God made silver to be good for us, con shows that it is not exclusivity true, so pro claims silver is the enemy and broken (therefore not from God?).

Knowledge
Pro's case calls for the only source of knowledge of what is good for us being from God, but con counters that we design medicine now through complex research rather than waiting for God to do it; which either makes those doctors God, or invalidates the core premise pro's whole case is built around.
