In this video I debate Maverick Christian about the merits of his argument Evolutionary Against Naturalism. According to this argument, if Naturalism is true it cannot rationally be believed because of the undercutting defeater that evolution doesn't select for beliefs, only behaviours, so if naturalism is true we can't trust our beliefs, including our belief that naturalism is true.

Link to Maverick Christian's paper on his version of the argument:
