No Christian can possibly win a debate defending their beliefs

Christians cannot defend their beliefs because they are beliefs. Because their understanding of their God is incomplete. They will never have a complete understanding of their god. Their beliefs cannot be proven. No empirical evidence to support their beliefs. Their beliefs cannot be supported with scientific evidence. Christians can never win a debate to support their beliefs. Christianity is basically a primitive belief system of myths. Like many other mythical religious belief systems that eventually fade Into the past.

I'm not sure why you think scientific evidence is the sole 'truth' that there is, especially since it is constantly (and quite rightly) changing and debated across generations. 'Belief' and 'faith' are integral to science (accepting theories/assuming certain calculations as immutable for the purposes of experiment) and many Christians are scientists.

I would also be interested to be told which beliefs you require 'scientific truth' to be validated and whether finding that 'truth' would negate the whole idea of faith?

Scientific evidence does not have to present itself as the only truth. It only has to show why it is the most reliable method of establishing the truth. And yes what was considered to be true is constantly challenged and debated to further a more accurate truth. And this is how scientific evidence differs from religious beliefs that lies stagnant never changing regardless of the evidence. Even when evidence contradicts those beliefs.

@FreddieUK yes I am aware that it was not his real name. The point being I found it to be a funny comment to make.

I have to assume you have little knowledge of the debates within Christian theology, but you may have heard of the Reformation. Just the most obvious example for Western society.

@Mindfulness people can have whatever faith or belief they want that's their business. The problem is when they try and force their faith and belief on to other people.. when they deny or take away the rights of others to have their own faith and beliefs because it differs from theirs. When they torture imprison and murder anyone who has different beliefs than themselves. That's the problem.

This is absolutely true. We just need to convince Putin, Xi, Kim and other dictators of this. As far as I know the Pope no longer indulges in this (part of the changing understanding in his bit of Christianity) and even the awful Trump supporting so-called 'evangelicals' have not (yet) stooped to that.

"I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

Speaking as an atheist, let people have their faith, it brings them comfort and I’m ok with that.

Since when does anyone have to defend their beliefs. Unless someone hides behind it to break the law, beliefs are an individual’s personal truth.
