Lundahl vs. Henke

May 14, 2022; Updated Periodically; Updated September 26 through December 4, 2022

I met Mr. Hans Georg Lundahl in the comments section of a YouTube video. Mr. Lundahl is a geocentrist, young-Earth creationist and conservative Roman Catholic. I'm a geologist and an agnostic about the existence of God. We agreed to have a debate over the existence of the supernatural, the historicity of the Talk Snake of Genesis 3, the importance of archeology in investigating the life of Alexander the Great and other topics. By the way, geocentrism is NOT a major topic in this debate.
