Anything specific in your rebuttal you'd like to share?
The aside about the nature of truth is a red herring.

He doesn't actually justify the leap from the mind is product of matter to there being no such thing as absolute truth.

It's also interesting that he's happy to abandon the concept of chance due to it not having a physical analogue, but clearly doesn't think the same restriction applies to mind or, I assume, God.

In view of past conversations on the grammatics of this subject, I submit the following video:


"Truth is absolute" because it does not change is a flawed definition leading to a flawed premise -- truth does indeed change.

Some people wouldn't know Truth if they stared Him in the face.

John 18:38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

I'm not sure why the alleged words of a pagan who oversaw oppression, torture and the conquest of others is a be all and end all of truth.

If you're talking about Pilate, he made friends with Herod during Jesus' [kangaroo] trials.

Luke 23:12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

Others see Truth as little more than a useful tool, to be taken out when convenient, and put away when no longer profitable.

The Herod of the Bible was a brutal butcher, but the representative of the orderly, but unmistakably cruel and brutal Roman Empire isn't exactly a good second option.

I'll accept that Herod and Pharisees set up Jesus in paranoia and fear for their status... but Pilot's: "Nothing personal, this is just business." is still super unpleasant.
