In 2021, logic took a day off and apologetics Twitter held a debate.
This episode reviews the infamous Bible-defense showdown featuring arguments so poorly formed they didn’t need rebuttals—they needed a mirror. Rather than analyzing who was right, this episode asks a better question: How do you recognize a terrible argument in the wild, no matter what side it comes from?
By walking through real excerpts, claims, and rhetorical strategies from the 2021 debate (between Mitch Canupp and Nathan Cravatt), we uncover the anatomy of bad reasoning:
- Proof-texting without grammatical awareness
- Confident claims with missing premises
- Assertions louder than their evidence
- Appeals to rhetoric over reality
- A theology argument smuggling in a logic problem
This is not about Bible translations.
It’s about argument translation—from nonsense into a lesson.
Whether you’re a pastor, apologist, student, or someone who just wants to smell a bad argument before stepping in it, this episode will equip you with something better than ammunition:
Discernment. Self-awareness. And a really shiny mirror.
