Theist Andrew calls into The Line hoping to discuss origins and causality. When asked to define his God concept, Andrew vaguely proposes the universe created him intentionally and is therefore "God".
Hosts Matt Dillahunty and Jimmy Snow immediately point out the flaws in this reasoning - the non-conscious universe lacks agency or intent, so its creation is not intentional in the way a deity supposedly creates. Unable to explain his muddled theology, Andrew contradicts himself on whether the universe has consciousness and created him deliberately.
He switches to defining God as simply an infinite, unconscious "creator", but the hosts explain this definition is incoherent since it could apply to anything. As Andrew continues tying himself in semantic knots trying to justify his incoherent God belief, Matt and Jimmy advise him to develop a philosophically rigorous concept before calling back.
The exasperated hosts spend the call highlighting the confused contradictory reasoning behind Andrew's vague God claims in hopes he will reevaluate his flawed thinking.
