exchanges that took place through the months of June and July of
2013. The exchanges were according to agreed upon time limitations
on each section. For each of their several sections, the debaters
were given at least a week to analyze, script and record their
entries before submitting it to their opponent. Each submission,
has been edited together in the agreed upon order for your
listening interest. As one speaker ends, the next will follow
without interruption.20 minutes were allowed to each debater for
opening statements.Followed by 20 minutes to each for first
rebuttals. Then 15 minutes to each for a second round of
rebuttals.Then 5 minutes to each for closing statements.Arguing in
the affirmative is Max Andrews. In the negative, Justin Schieber.
Max Andrews is senior writer and public relations administrator for
Reasonable Faith with William Lane Craig but, just to be clear, he
is NOT representing either entity in this debate. He has a BS in
Religion specializing in Biblical Studies and an MA in
Philosophical Studies from Liberty University. His primary research
is on the fine-tuning argument for the existence of God as it
relates to multiverse scenarios. Max has two papers in the Cornell
University History and Philosophy of Physics pre-print archive on
Albert Einstein and scientific theology as well as the relationship
between scientific realism and epistemology. He has also written a
review in the Midwestern Journal of Theology on Molinism, which
concerns the relationship between divine omniscience, human
freedom, and providence. Last November he coauthored a paper on God
and the multiverse with David Beck, which was presented at the
Evangelical Philosophical Society's annual conference in Milwaukee.
Additionally, in 2010 Max studied at the Discovery Institute's
Center for Science and Culture in Seattle, Washington. Max has been
a member of Phi Sigma Tau, the National Honors Society for
Philosophy, and was an officer for the Philosophy Club and Ratio
Christi during his graduate studies. This summer Max and his wife,
Leah, will be moving to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland to
begin his PhD in Philosophy under Alasdair Richmond. His
dissertation will be on the fine-tuning of nomic behavior in
multiverse scenarios and the ontology of the many worlds
interpretation of quantum physics. Max maintains a blog at
sententias.org. Justin Schieber is Co-Host of Reasonable Doubts,
the radio show and Podcast.Reasonable Doubts wants to thank Max
Andrews for his participation in this debate and wishes him well as
he continues his education at the University of Edinburgh
