I have never seen him win a debate, but he can dazzle gullible people. His tactic is to talk a lot, adding in a lot of irrelevant data, over-complexing everything, so that the logical fallacies somehow escape your attention.

Once you see the transcript of what he said, you can start scrapping everything that was irrelevant to his point and only clear logical fallacies remain.

The Kalam Cosmology Argument is build for gullible people. Every sentence here contains a logical fallacy and it builds on the ignorance of the audience.

People on this forum have already pointed out why each sentence is a joke on a pure logical level, but on top of that he takes a lot of liberty with physical concepts

He does not use specific terms that would get shot immediately, he just makes the fuzzy errors that sound fine for people that do not care about physics.

If you make a more detailed story, you would lose the audience:

(disclaimer: just a scenario, prove it to be wrong)

Linial explained that “mRNA is a very fragile molecule, meaning it can be destroyed very easily... If you put mRNA on the table, for example, in a minute there will not be any mRNA leftover. This is as opposed to DNA, which is as stable as you get.”

She said that this fragility is true of the mRNA of any living thing, whether it belongs to a plant, bacteria, virus or human.

As such, she said the worry should not be that the mRNA won’t get into the cells and instead will stay outside, floating in the body and causing some kind of reaction. Rather the concern should be that if it doesn’t enter the cells, it will disintegrate and therefore be ineffective.

She said that while Moderna and Pfizer are based on new vaccine technologies, they are asking our bodies to do something they do every day: protein synthesis, the process where cells make proteins.

Moderna and Pfizer are simply delivering a specific mRNA sequence to our cells. Once the mRNA is in the cell, human biology takes over. Ribosomes read the code and build the protein, and the cells express the protein in the body.

Linial said she believes that the reason no mRNA vaccine has been developed yet is because there was just no need to move this fast on a vaccine until COVID-19 came along. She noted that most of the vaccines people take today were developed decades ago.

She said her concerns have less to do with the use of mRNA and more to do with the long-term efficacy of the vaccine, as well as other challenges that could cause something to go wrong and lead people to believe they are vaccinated when they are not.

For example, she said that because mRNA is so fragile, the Pfizer vaccine must be stored at negative 70 degrees Celsius. If the ideal environment is not maintained, the vaccine could “spoil” and become ineffective.

In addition, she said several questions remain, such as whether these vaccines will really be able to mount a sufficiently protective immune response and how long that immunity would last.

“It would be the worst [scenario] if people behave like they are immune but can still become infected,” Linial said.

The social communicative function of irony suggests a distinct

role for ventromedial (VM) regions within the frontal lobes, as

opposed to dorsolateral (DL) regions. Whereas DL prefrontal

regions have been associated with executive functions, VM lesions

have been shown to result in impaired social skills, such as social

judgment (Eslinger & Damasio, 1985) and decision making (Bechara,

Damasio, Tranel, & Anderson, 1998). Thus, if patients with

lesions in subregions of the prefrontal cortex differ in their deficit

in understanding sarcasm, this would suggest that specific areas

within the prefrontal cortex are crucial to the mediation of comprehension

of sarcastic utterances.

It's an interesting thing that Darwin was a Christian when he wrote Origin of Species. He became an agnostic later in life

because of the damage the loss of his daughter at a young age did to his belief in a loving God.

You don't need a Ph.D. in geology to know that desert dunes and other desert deposits do not form under roaring flood waters. These require not only time, but also dry land. The Flood of Noah supplies neither.

The Old Red Sandstone, which looks for all the world like a collection of fossilized desert dunes, was formed in Devonian times. It has outcrops extending from the British Isles to Poland and Russia's White Sea, and from Germany to Norway (Gilluly, Waters, and Woodford, 1968). Outcrops have even been found in Greenland and North America. In Devonian times, before North America and Europe drifted apart, these dunes covered an entire semi-arid continent.

Several lines of evidence derived from this great geologic formation create difficulties for the flood geology model. For instance, the interfingering of these sandstones with marine sediments shows that the shoreline of this continent advanced and retreated several times. Thus the desert rocks are entangled with rocks that the flood geology model says were formed within the one-year-long flood. Also, redbeds, consisting partly of rust formed above sea level, are also found in this formation. These would not have been formed in any catastrophic flood. The Old Red Sandstones also contain typical playas, complete with their characteristic cubic salt crystal deposits. These are desert salt-pan deposits formed after the rainy-season lakes evaporate. Today, in the Mojave Desert, playas can become lakes for a couple of weeks, only to dry out again, leaving a crust of salt deposits like those found in the Red Sandstone. Although a few freshwater ponds did exist on this ancient semi-arid continent, they dried up from time to time. So, we find fossil mud cracks in the shales that came from the dried-up pond bottoms, and we find fossil lungfish, a type of fish that can survive drought by building a mud cocoon in the pond bottom and breathing air. Hundreds of square miles of fossil sand dunes in these deposits contain cross-bedding and sand-blasted pebbles (ventifacts) of the sort found in modern desert sand dunes, and in no other kind of modern sediment. These different independent lines of evidence converge to show that the Old Red Sandstones almost certainly formed over thousands of years in a dry climate, not in any kind of flood catastrophe.
