Is God’s hiddenness proof he isn’t there? Live Debate Theist Dr Max Baker-Hytch vs Atheist Dr Julian Baggini

02/21/25 • 60 min

If God exists, why isn’t His existence obvious to everyone? In today’s Unbelievable? debate, public philosopher Julian Baggini and Oxford University’s Dr. Max Baker-Hytch go head-to-head on the problem of divine hiddenness. Is God’s absence a test of faith, or is it evidence that He doesn’t exist? Can history, reason, and personal experience point to the divine, or are religious beliefs simply shaped by culture and psychology? Join us for a deep dive into faith, skepticism, and the mystery of God’s silence, as we explore one of the biggest challenges in philosophy and theology. 🔔 Subscribe now for more debates on faith, reason, and belief!
