Epistemology Debate Godless vs Shamos

https://youtu.be/395493fIfAU

Shamos999 is a philosophically well-informed GDC veteran who was always one of the top Christian debaters in the community. Shamos was always skilled but has continued to make improvements in debate skills and philosophical knowledge. He has become so advanced that he is now a brown belt. The thing to note about brown belt is there are no more stages in between that and black belt champion.

Shamos has deconverted from Christian to Agnostic and back to Christian again while in our community. Actually he is suspected of going back to agnosticism a second time but nobody knows what his real position is including himself. Shamos is an original member of the Nadia crew and can now be found on Discord.

Shamos fights back with epistemologically externalist response to my skepticism when what I was asking for was one that functioned within an internalist framework.

G.E. Moore nonsense: "I can now prove that two human hands exist. How? By holding up my two hands, and saying, as I make a certain gesture with the right hand, ‘There is one hand’, and adding, as I make a gesture with the left, ‘and here is another’.”

Shamos imagines that he can demonstrate the existence of something through rational argument. But logic is about the relationship between statements, and cannot demonstrate the existence of external objects (hands)
