Daniel and Beau are student leaders of CRU, an on-campus ministry for college students. Near the start of the talk Daniel asks if I had interviewed a woman from his group named Brianna, which I had but didn't recall at the time.
I have since found the footage with Brianna, and it was a decent talk (she uses faith, too). Perhaps I'll upload the discussion if enough people request it.
16 November 2015 EDIT: Many people requested seeing the discussion with Brianna, so here you go (apologies for the cell phone interruptions): https://youtu.be/3ampUlezRMI
Although their definitions varied a bit, both men use faith to be 100 percent certain their God exists, but would likely prefer evidence if that was available to them.
Mistakes:
I regret not having pushed a bit harder on the differences between faith and evidence, but it looks like there may be an opportunity to do that if we meet at a later date.
It can be risky to bring up topics like evolution in an exchange like this, but I made an effort to be clear that I didn't want to debate the topic with them.
Please let me know if you notice any mistakes so that I can address them here for self-improvement.
