Philosopher Stefan Molyneux reviews his live Nashville debate with Jay Dyer on whether reason and logic need an immaterial God or grow from the brain and the physical world. He covers the interruptions and shifting questions that made the exchange hard, how kids and evolution show thinking developing from matter, why adding God undercuts certainty, and how the format twisted talk of tragedy into claims about evil.
