Episode 8: Adam's Theist-Atheist Debate

Adam has a debate about God at the high school with preacher and philosophy professor Josh Walker. Josh asked that we do not edit the debate, and we agreed with one exception: during Adam's introduction, the announcements came on over the loudspeaker, so we edited out that announcement. Everything else is intact. We also did our best to increase the volume on the students' voices during the Q&A so they could be heard better.

With the exception of Adam, none of the characters shown in this video are meant to depict anyone in attendance (and even then, Adam isn't that short). Any resemblance of the characters to actual people in the room is purely coincidental.
