William Lane Craig on Oscillating Model

[unapologeticmind]

He's a good theistic debater, but at times too prone to make connections between purely philosophical arguments and their supposed real-world implications. You cannot infer any kind of likelihood or probability regarding God's existence from a purely philosophical standpoint. You can only prove that God's existence isn't inconsistent with what we know about our world, that's all. The only positive case that can be made for God's existence is by analyzing the merits of specific "revelations".

@unapologeticmind "You cannot infer any kind of likelihood or probability regarding God's existence from a purely philosophical standpoint."

Yes you can because a probabilistic inference is a philosophical standpoint.

[THEEVANTHETOON]

Is Dr. Craig ambidextrous? I've seen him write with his right hand when taking notes in debates, but here, he is writing with his left hand.

[PeacefulHobbit]

Despite of me not being a religious person, this man looks very interisting to talk to

[WMsReligion]

WLC is such a sweet person! Praise God for His servant!

[trickjacko]

I didnt know that he is lefty :)

[kangsan2014]

Interesting theory... He should debate with someone only about physics, not God or religion. He won't stand much of a chance.

[drcraigvideos]

@kangsan2014 Is that why he whipped Krauss? Give me a break. Craig definitely knows more about physics than Dawkins.

[lexidart]

@drcraigvideos POW! I love your channel and I love WLC! Keep it up my awesome friend!

[GGDFan777]

@drcraigvideos Not to mention his two debates with Victor Stenger

[ebeatworld]

@drcraigvideos I'll second that. Krauss was embarrassing to watch.

[wullz16]

@ebeatworld ooooh man it was agonizing, but also hilarious..

[bm359]

@kangsan2014 He does discuss with physicists, frequently. For example he went to MIT and presented his arguments from physics on a panel with Howard Smith and Avi Loeb (two cosmologists at MIT). His presentation went over well.

[TheisticThinker]

@bm359 He did!? Awesome, can I read morea bout it/watch the presentation?

[skunkertx]

@kangsan2014 he has also debated Victor Stenger, a prominent physicist.

[babystinky]

@kangsan2014

krauss and stenger went down and they are top notch physicists. they did horrible in a debate with Craig.

[zelda0521]

This was in London? So many Asians.

[95TurboSol]

Craig is so awesome, the one reason I would go to college would be to have him as a professor lol.

[ignatei]

I didn't know Dr. Craig was left handed.

[supersonicfaceplant]

HEY DLC VIDS!!! Get WLC's azz down to my highschool i want him to be my TEACHER!!!

[1GodOnlyOne]

The two people who disliked this video must be Harris and his mom, because Dawkins doesn't exist, and Hitchens is dead.

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne "and Hitchens is dead"? Is that supposed to be funny? Looking through your videos, I feel quite sad. You don't seem to be interested in truth, just seeing Theism "win" and to potray Atheists as bad. That's just disgusting to me, even though I love Craigs work, am a Christian etc.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker Do you think it's funny? I didn't say it was.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself for implying that the untimely death of another person could somehow be funny.

Also, you need anger management -- I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne No, I don't. But considering Hitchen's cancer which he is struggeling to survive from, I don't see why you write "and Hitchens is dead" after you wrote "And Dawkins does not exist", showing that it wasn't a serious message, and thereby showing that "and Hitchens is dead" were supposed to be taken in the same way. That's just sick, and your videos is full of that, abusing Christianity and apologetics to make Atheists look bad, even if it is done in a disgusting way.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker You are the only one who implied that it could somehow be funny, so you are obviously lying now. You are a depraved, sick, sad individual, and I'm ashamed to even be engaging you in conversation.

I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne Okey, now I can't take you seriously. You are using Ad hominem attacks now, without responding to what I said, I answered you and I want an answer from you. Why did you write "and Hitchen is dead", clearly playing on his Cancer as if it were funny, after writing quite funny stuff like "Dawkins does not exist"? Your own words are more fitting to you, considering you avoiding my questions and making Ad hominems against me.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker You have a very serious anger management problem.

I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne Answer my questions, it is hard to not think that you think that Hitchens who have cancer and is dying is somewhat funny, because you refuse to answer and use fallacious reasoning. Try to reason for a change, atleast not promoting people who do, like Dr. Craig, when you're just making him look bad and making Christians look like hating bigots.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker But I didn't read your questions. Once I determined that you are a stupid jackass with anger management issues, I stopped reading.

Deal with it -- I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne You are, like TheFunkyTheist said, the worst troll ever. Ad Hominems, joking about Hitchens physical condition etc makes you look like a succesful Atheist troll, making Christians look like bigoted hating people.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker You're the same guy, though, with two silly screen names, and you're atheist as well.

You have zero credibility, jackass.

I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne Uh yeah! *Facepalm*, that's why I became a Christian and started making videos defending Christianity and showing why I am a Christian! Makes sense! Regarding your random comment about me being TheFunkyTheist, lol, he is way more knowledgable than me about the historical Jesus etc. But maybe it is possible to know more about a subject than yourself!? You are the one with zero credibility here! Have you even watched your videos?

[TheFunkyTheist]

@1GodOnlyOne You're the worst troll to ever exist. You're not even funny. You're annoying. No one's impressed, except yourself. Grow up.

[TheisticThinker]

@TheFunkyTheist Agreed, his behaviour and his videos are just so childish and the only thing he cares about is "POWNING" Atheists. Saying "And Hitchens is dead" like it is something funny, considering the thing he wrote about Dawkins not existing, is just disgusting. 

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker Nice to see that your sock accounts "agree" with each other, you silly atheist troll.

I will pray for you!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne HAHAHAHAH!!! You are the biggest troll I've seen!! You are ignoring me, making Ad Hominems, making Christianity look bad, have the intelligence of an 4 year old, and joking about Hitchens physical conditions! What a bigot.

[TheFunkyTheist]

@TheisticThinker Well, they're lame to say the least!

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheFunkyTheist Yeah, like anyone thinks you're not the same angry atheist moron pretending to be a christian.

You lose, jackass --I will pray for you, troll, no matter how many sock puppet accounts you use!

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne "Atheist"??? HAHAHAH!!! Are you kidding? Have you ever watched his videos which defend Christianity? Something that you are failing to do, you are damaging peoples view on Christians.

[1GodOnlyOne]

@TheisticThinker The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

You have been defeated and exposed as a believer in atheist dogma using two sock accounts to pretend to be Christian.

You lose, jackass! LOL

I will pray for you.

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne Showed? xD You haven't showed anything, you have claimed, I ask for evidence, I get none, and then from nowhere, you say that I am an Atheist (!?) without evidence? My videos are probably much better than yours defending Christianity and belief in God, with your reasoning, that makes you the Atheist here. ;)

[TheFunkyTheist]

@1GodOnlyOne You're so not funny. Go spend your time usefully......hell, I need to myself, instead of sitting here typing to a lame troll.

[TheisticThinker]

@1GodOnlyOne But considering that all your videos are named something like this "ATHEIST DOGMA REFUTED111!!11!!11" or "ATHEIST ARE POWNEDD!!1!!1" it is hard to take you seriously. Stop making Christianity look bad, please.

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

only craig and asians can understand this

blows my mind lol

[jmanexpress]

@GoldenbanjoDJ lol

[Nazam44]

I think this was after his Imperial talk

[HELLawaitsall59]

I'm not trying to praise Dr. William Lane Craig, but he is a really humble man with a heart to bring people to Christ.

[Falcondick69]

craig is left handed? a few hundred years ago people would see this as a sign of the devil O_O. i love dr.craig i jsut find this ironic :P

[GideonsKnight]

That's awesome that Dr. Craig took the time to talk to those students and explain the fine-points of cosmology with them. I would very much like to meet him someday!

[MegaDude1969]

I could probably discuss philosophy and theories with Dr. Craig for hours.

[MayonR]

@MegaDude1969 If you ever want the link to a forum where we discuss this stuff and more let me know. Chris Copan son of Paul Copan sometimes visits. Paul Copan's book"Is God a Moral Monster" is recommended by WLC during debates.

[MegaDude1969]

@MayonR Sure, even if I was just to view the discussions I may find the topics interesting. I will try and send you a friend invite and you can let me know the web site for this forum.

[MayonR]

@MegaDude1969 Sent you a PM. If anyone else wants to participate or observe a discussion room that deals with many of these arguments and more on a daily bases, look up ShockofGod and search for his chatroom details either at Shockawenow(DOT)org. or through his youtube channel. If you have any problems finding it, just email me for details. We have had the likes of Paul Copans son frequent the room and Venomfangx was also interesting, besides all the atheists that attend daily.

[kidasterorig111]

@MegaDude1969 LOL

Make it Dr. Craig and Prof. Plantinga and it would be months...

[Bigjon145]

I'm jeallooooouuusss. This man is brilliant, I'd love to meet WLC.

[TechHost]

Where can I get a chance to talk to him?

[kapooktu]

Wow! Dr.Craig is lefty? No wonder he's genius :)

[oneandonlyrisenangel]

I am so jealous right now

[silvo214]

plese in spanish!!, please!!!

[BassP86]

Irrelevant I know, but Dr. Craig is not a very good left-hand writer. Then again, most of us aren't. :b

[lorenavedon]

@BassP86 He has a neuro-muscular disorder that affects his hands so that's why his writing is the way it is

[BassP86]

@lorenavedon

Whoops! I never knew that, haha! My apologies to Dr. Craig on that one.

[geoffreyefloyd]

@BassP86 Why didn't he use his right hand...

[LittleSn00py]

Incredible! I have millions of questions to ask him!

[VlaDiDaDiY]

I want to meet this man!

[MayonR]

@VlaDiDaDiY Same bro. I was disappointed the tour was in Europe. I was excited at first thinking it would be in the U.S.

[Birdieupon]

@MayonR

" I was disappointed the tour was in Europe."

I wasn't! ;-)
