This is the remastered and repaired audio from an exchange between Dr. Alvin Plantinga and Dr. Daniel Dennett. The audio was really bad in every iteration I found online, so I had my sound producer Sawyer Hudson doctor it up.

Over the course of about 2 months, atheist podcaster Justin Schieber and I engaged in a formal written debate on the Problem of Evil.

The format of the debate was 15 minute openings, 10 minute rebuttals, and 8 minute closings. We each had up to seven days...
