  I don't wish to be mean to Lennox but I feel the fitting reply to his level of apologetics are the words of Black Adder 'there is only one tiny problem Baldric ... It's Bol!ox'

  Alex is the most emotional on the topic of Lennox, but also the one I relate to the most 😅

  I gotta say, I really appreciate the different perspectives you all bring to the table, and your willingness to highlight things you think others might have missed.<br><br>Also this video has highlighted a new moral quandary for me: clearly Alex suffers when listening to John Lennox, but his grumpiness is so very entertaining 😂

  It boggles the mind how people don&apos;t see the incessant smugness he exhibits. &quot;Yeah this is a question I was asked by my good friend X. He was wrong, of course, and I demonstrated it easily. Everyone clapped.&quot; Who talks like that?

  Lennox seems to be the kind of person who wants to be happy all the time and worry about nothing. He found Christianity which promised a blissful life after death, leaving all worldy problems behind, plus a supernatural companion through life. What a great deal! How can you beat that? Then he just makes up rationalizations that keep his happy, worriless world intact. He doesn&apos;t have to make good arguments, just arguments that saisfy himself.

  Yes but have you considered the mathematics that happens inside a red Ferrari that is just sitting there waiting for you if only you chose to believe?

  You know what&apos;s really crazy? Lennox had a discussion with Brian Greene recently. It was part of the World Science Festival show that Greene hosts. I cannot fathom what possessed Brian Greene to bring Lennox on the show, but he did, and it was even worse than this interview. Greene obviously went very easy on him and Lennox still failed to say anything of substance whatsoever for over an hour.

  As far as Lennox&apos;s claim that Christianity is not a religion - I would bet that somewhere there&apos;s a quote of him calling atheism a religion.

  Ah, but have you guys considered the time Lennox posed some incredibly basic apologetic to an unnamed, atheist PhD, and that guy was so completely stumped that he renounced evolution on the spot... <i>and then everyone clapped!?</i>

  I know it&apos;s a terrible joke, but if the Universe is based on mathematics, shouldn&apos;t it be more of an Excel based Universe rather than a Word based Universe? I&apos;ll get my coat

  Not only Lennox missed the point regarding the problem of Geographic Distribution of Belief, but he accidentally pointed to the problem of it when he said something about doing something with the privilege that God has given them. Providing privileges is inherently unfair. So God is not perfectly just if he gives privileges to some while denying them to others, especially by doing so it giving unfair advantages and disadvantages that result in some having an easier path to salvation while others being almost certainly destined to damnation, just because of where they happened to be born
