Matt 16:18 is the famous passage that says: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." The question that will be discussed in this dialogue is who the rock is referring to. Does it refer to Peter? To Jesus? To someone/something else?

In this video, I explain why the Puddle Analogy against the Fine-tuning Argument for God fails (on multiple levels). #1: The likelihood principle says that “if some evidence is more likely on Hypothesis 1 than Hypothesis 2, then that evidence confirms Hypothesis 1 over Hypothesis 2.” Here’s a quick example: suppose you’re playing Poker and the guy to your left has been dealt a Royal Flush the last 5 hands. Being dealt 5 Royal Flushes in a row is likely on the hypothesis that he’s cheating and un...
