This was a wonderful and insightful debate. Both sides did very well, however I must be honest in saying that I feel that Josh and Jordan were stronger in their presentation. I saw great maturity and reasoning from the Christian perspective. I was also impressed by how Josh and Jordan handled themselves when presented with unfactual, misconstrued information. Well done fellas.
