When you hear the sound of coming, hear the drums drumming, I want you to join together with the band.

0:15.0

Do you really think I can, but you really don't want you anywhere.

0:21.0

I want you to join together with the band.

0:26.0

Bill, I think that you have more than answered the allegations of certain YouTube atheists on what's become known as the Lowering the Bar controversy.

0:36.0

Not only have you devoted a podcast and a question of the week on it, but you appeared on other podcasts to discuss it.

0:43.0

And rather than rehearse the whole thing, I'll just refer our listeners to the website for the backstory.

0:49.0

But today we want to interact with some excerpts from the young man who asked you the now famous question.

0:57.0

Kyle. Kyle has a podcast and he invited some other podcasters to join him in discussing various atheist reactions to you.

1:08.0

Spoiler alert here. They're not impressed with the atheist reaction and build these young men who are well versed in apologetics and philosophy and theology.

1:21.0

I'm impressed with all of them and they did get together. They talked for an hour and a half and I just had to go in and get a few excerpts.

1:30.0

But I got to tell you that they've been interacting with your work. They're positive about what you said and how you answered.

Well, I have to tell you, Kevin, that I'm just so gratified at the response to my original question of the week in response to Kyle.

This is why I write this weekly question of the week. In the first place, it was a help to Kyle.

2:17.0

It encouraged him and strengthened him in his own Christian faith and walk and that just makes it all worth it.

2:25.0

But more than that, it hasn't even wider impact upon all the Christians who now learn something about differences between pragmatic and epistemic justification.

2:38.0

And are better educated now in the defense of the Christian faith as a result of this controversy.

2:46.0

And then finally, this sort of thing gets a rise out of the atheists on the secular web.

2:53.0

And by doing so, it gets them to engage with this work and causes even more attention to be drawn to the gospel and to Christ.

3:04.0

And so for all those reasons, I am just very gratified by the result of this hoopla, as you call it.

3:14.0

In this first clip, Kyle is asked to further explain his question to you. Here's clip number one.
