Proof #51: Think about God and Baal

• Does the Elijah-and-Baal story in 1 Kings 18 prove that God is imaginary?

The hosts walk through proof #51 from godisimaginary.com: think about God and Baal. A host reads the 1 Kings 18 account of Elijah confronting Baal's prophets on Mount Carmel, then reads the site's argument that God's failure to show himself today proves he is imaginary. The hosts push back: changing a person's life is a greater demonstration than a mountain moved; the challenge was God-ordained, not a stunt the prophets invented; the author uses the Bible inconsistently; and the argument lands on 'God is absurd,' not 'God is imaginary.' Charlie adds his own testimony: after third-degree burns covered half his face, doctors predicted two to four months of recovery with scarring, yet he was fully healed in three days with many people praying.
