Unbelievable

Two young, intelligent thinkers join Justin to debate whether atheism or theism makes best sense of the universe. Oxford student and apologist Calum Miller says that the universe we observe is likely on theism but unlikely on atheism. So it makes more sense to believe in God than not.
