Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Caving Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

And today we're going to do a debrief of my debate with Alex O'Connor on the question

of the existence of God.

So I recently had this debate last Thursday.

It was on Matt Frads, Pints with Aquinas, YouTube Page, and Podcast Page.

So if you want to go and check it out, it's had over 50,000 views already.

So Alex has a pretty large following among atheists.

I'm excited to share the debate with you here on this podcast in a few weeks.

But until then, I wanted to do a debrief of the debate.

Even if you haven't seen the debate, I think this debrief will be useful for you to understand

issues related to defending the existence of God, philosophy, science.

A lot of things that I think you will greatly appreciate.

And to help me do that, we have John DeRosa here on the program.

John has a podcast called The Classical Theism Podcast.

He's got great guests on really bright,

theistic philosophers and thinkers and theologians.

In fact, the classical Theism Podcast was helpful for me when I was preparing

to do this debate with Alex O'Connor.

So previously I've done these debriefs just by myself talking with you about my debates,

my discussions, how I thought they went.
