He uses a lot of different "good" experiences to "prove" the existence of God, but is unwilling to use any "bad" or "evil" experiences to "prove" the existence of Satan. That's logically inconsistent. It’s interesting that Chopra answers that with the idea that whatever you can experience is real.

He said nothing of consequence, same as Chopra. I remembered where the video segment was that you're looking for: http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/faceoff Go to "God & Satan: They Define Each Other" and scroll into it to the 5:25 remaining mark and you'll get to see it.

I'm not the biggest Driscoll fan, but I gotta say that he handled himself pretty well. Those arguing against Satan really made the best arguments for his existence based simply on their inconsistency and incoherence. Pearson's kind of a joke isn't he? I was hunting for that question from the audience about belief but I couldn't find it. It reminds me of the comments below on newspaper man who has now rejected God. It is amazing how easily disbelief quickly gives way to dogmatic belief. OK, I couldn’t resist so I went to youtube and watched a portion of it.

It was nice to see Christians behaving nicely in a public forum where their beliefs are being challenged/called into question. Every so often it's good to see an example where silence can actually win your argument because it allows the other sides inconsistencies and incoherence to do all the work for you.

I didn't watch it, but I'm glad to hear your assessment. I'm glad that Driscoll seemed to take the approach he did. I am so thankful that neither Christian seemed to resort to over-the-top and ridiculous accasations and rhetoric. Thanks for the summary Monts.
