    Frank's closing amounted to, "OK, sure, if you want to believe in things that have evidence to support them, then of course you won't believe in God."
    Yes. That's right.

    After watching literally dozens upon dozens of these shows, not a single caller has provided a shred of evidence for the existence of a god, but these callers provide convincing evidence that religion will remove you from reality and convince you that you're in a "better" place when you're not.

      Oh kid, I've been proving God for 50 yrs and I'm not alone. There are several ways to do it. This is simple. God covered this topic in Romans 1:20. God's existence is proved by what is made, so much so that we're "without excuse." So let's look at what is made:
      Entropy is matter decaying in disorder ONLY IN ONE DIRECTION: Humans die, fruit oxidizes, the content of seeds & eggs decay to their end/heat death, plants & animals meet their demise, metal rusts, fires burn out, meat rots, a dropped basketball stops bouncing, the sun & all stars eventually burn out, having exhausted all usable energy (2nd law). Look it up if you don't believe me. I just proved God is who he said he was - a spirit that can't be tested. You can test FINITE nature (time/space/matter/energy), but you can't test our CREATOR: OUR INFINITE SUPERNATURAL GOD.
      We know from these facts that ALL MATTER is dying and if dying, requires a cause/source that can't die (God).
      There's no gap in scientific knowledge, no matter how desperate you atheists are for that to be true. The facts prove that this FINITE/expanding universe was created/designed/produced by our INFINITE SUPERNATURAL GOD. We know that because we reason from effect to cause, we observe that we have life, intelligence, love, consciousness and morality, which we can't manufacture ourselves and thus, we have to get those attributes from a source that not only has these attributes to give, but that ALSO has the intelligence, power, purpose and means to give them. THAT FACT points to our living, intelligent, loving, conscious and moral God as the cause/source and he has informed us of these facts via the Bible. There is no other RATIONAL POSSIBLE option for temporary/FINITE NATURE (time/space/matter/energy), other than our INFINITE SUPERNATURAL GOD and it’s not possible that a moist rock (nor any other atheist cause) produced the human being or any of these attributes. These IRREFUTABLE FACTS point directly to God's existence.

      The reason we know that creation is the greatest proof of the existence of God, is because that's what God said: God himself says that if you don’t believe in him as the creator when you open your eyes and look at his creation, that you are lying and are “without excuse.” > “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. “ - Romans 1:20 (NIV) ...

Should an AI decide that genocide would be the best way to solve climate change, is that AI immoral? Or is it just a system executing it's commands?

    "Objective morality" is one of the worst arguments theists make. It's just so obviously and plainly false just by the fact that morality varies significantly across different cultures and times, and even varies significantly within a culture. We see it playing out as we speak in the US with the abortion debate. Many Christians feel abortion is morally wrong, whereas most of the rest of the country disagrees with that stance. If morality were in any way objective these debates wouldn't exist. We would all just agree on what is moral and what is not. This morality would also never change with time.
