There was an online discussion about the veracity of Christianity, it took place approximately 4 weeks ago, that went viral.
The debate was between a Christian historian and apologist, Wes Huff, and Billy Carson, according to wikia he is an “entrepreneur, author, music artist, TV host, producer, actor, director, and expert in Ancient Civilizations.” Wes is a scholar and has a PhD. It is evident from their debate that Billy was in over his head. Billy has no graduate degree.
Billy’s arguments were rather superficial and even at times infantile. Wes clearly won this debate.
One thing that really resonated with me, besides Wes’ brilliant articulation of orthodox Christian faith, was the humility he displayed and love for someone who is not Christian.
The moderator was highly biased and took Billy’s side, even though a proper moderator should display as little bias as they possibly can.
Also, the moderator and Billy did not let Wes talk without constant interruptions. Wes displayed a very patient and longsuffering behavior.
See the full debate below.
After the debate was over Billy sued Wes! He knew he performed poorly and wanted to delete the debate video! How cowardly and infantile! Check out the video below.
Below is a video analyzing Billy’s rants.
This brought so much attention that Joe Rogan invited Wes Huff onto his show! So not only did Billy embarrass himself in the debate with Wes, but he made Wes more famous, and landed an interview with Joe Rogan on his podcast (which happens to be the number one podcast in the world in terms of number of subscribers). The video now has over 4 million views! Wes got the opportunity to share the true gospel of Christ with millions of viewers/listeners! Watch the interview with Joe Rogan below.
Billy’s popularity is rooted in sensationalism, pseudo-science, so-called alien technology, ancient aliens, alien archaeology, UFOs, and lots of similar topics.
His critiques of Christianity (and I’m being very generous in my characterization) are really very sophomoric and superficial. He makes dozens of assertions, yet can’t back them up. All of his objections to orthodox Christian faith, have been refuted. And Wes refuted them as well in this debate.
