Winger's anecdote: his 10-year-old nephew had never heard of God — counter-evidence to the claim that all people consciously know God exists

Does Presup Apologetics Have a Biblical Foundation? Mike Winger vs Sye Ten Bruggencate 00:58:45 – 01:00:17

Winger's experiential challenge to Sye's universal knowledge claim

Winger describes a family member's child who genuinely did not know the concept of 'God' at age 10 and asked his mother what it meant. Sye responds with a counter-anecdote about unreached African tribes who, upon hearing the gospel, respond 'I've always known him, I just didn't know his name.' Sye's framework accommodates both: the child has sufficient knowledge for condemnation even if he never heard the name 'God,' because he knows the moral law and knows he is accountable to something beyond himself.
