Vernaculis is trying to summarily dismiss all theistic philosophy throughout history without even studying it on a college level as an adult. What could go wrong.
Similarly to how Vernaculis jumps back and forth between moral realism and moral relativism as discussed in The Distributist's recent response vid https://youtu.be/ExnzjKzlrUo here he jumps back and forth about whether to go full scientism or not. Is scientific evidence and testing and proof the only kind or not? It's never really all that clear. He also lacks a consistent position on education of children. Plus, he just never actually gets around to talking about the actual philosophical arguments of actual theistic philosophers.
Videos I'm responding to:
"The "God" Assumption" (with petty, unnecessary scare quotes in the video title no less) https://youtu.be/Yrpew8N1OoE
"Hoisted Up By Nothing" https://youtu.be/24VEGiPDzLc
Works cited:
"Miracles: A Preliminary Study" by C. S. Lewis (2nd Edition, 1960) https://youtu.be/BboJqrW8a8U

Philosophy of Religion courses I am recommending:
"Philosophy of Religion" by Dr. James Hall is available through The Great Courses a.k.a. The Teaching Company. http://www.thegreatcourses.com/course...
"Faith and Reason" by Dr. Peter Kreeft is available through The Modern Scholar. https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Scholar...
Some fun videos:
Three Minute Philosophy: David Hume https://youtu.be/r3QZ2Ko-FOg
Three Minute Philosophy: Thomas Aquinas https://youtu.be/Mz_iGGGMddw
I must admit this isn't my best work logically speaking. I threw it together under alot of time pressure to get it out as quickly as possible. If I'd had more time, my arguments might have been better and I might have covered more of Vernaculis's claims.
