Questions are not arguments: unanswered questions do not constitute evidence against Christianity; they only reveal gaps in human knowledge

YouTube Atheism vs YouTube Christianity 00:52:45 – 00:54:49

Cameron makes a methodological point after the theodicy discussion

Cameron distinguishes between questions and arguments. Asking a question that someone cannot answer is not itself an argument against their position. For an argument to validly lead to a conclusion, you must lay out the premises, defend them, and show they lead to the conclusion. Much rhetorical challenge to Christianity merely poses questions without constructing a valid argument. The humble response is to acknowledge we do not know everything — this gap in knowledge says nothing about God's existence.
