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

Well, hello, hello, hello, and welcome to Pints with Aquinas.

My name is Matt Fred, and today we have Matt Dillahunti and Trent Horn, who will be debating

whether or not the resurrection is reasonable.

We plan on taking 15 minute opening statements, we'll do cross examination, eight minutes each,

and then the two debaters will go back and forth for a little while.

We'll do some Q&A from Superchatters and patrons and then closing statements of five minutes.

If this is the first time you're here, welcome to Pints with Aquinas.

Hello, Trent, and hello, Matt. Are you with me?

Hi, I'm here. Can you hear me?

Yes, good, terrific.

Matt, I apologize there was a bit of a confusion about the debate format before.

We can just go with the format as it was and just do opening statements and then jump into a 30 minute discussion is fine.

Okay, sounds good. All right, this is great. It's great to have you here.

I don't want to bog down the beginning of this debate with big bios.

So links in the description below to Matt and Trent Horn's website.

Trent, you'll be arguing the affirmative that the resurrection is reasonable.

So you'll be going first, and I'll set the alarm here for 15 minutes. That sounds good.

Yes, that should be fine.

I hope so, Ross. But, he'll...

All right, whenever you're ready, begin, take your time, and I'll just click start whenever.
