"It's now clear that the argument in favor of God IS stronger than arguments against God"

How so? Because you happen to think Craig wins his debates? Sorry, that's not an argument or support for one.

When critics of Craig expose the failure of Craig's logic and the insufficie...

"Dawkins avoids real competition."

"What about Oxford scholars like Lennox & McGrath?"

"They aren't William Craig".

"Who? Isn't he just a bible thumping creationist?"

"No. He's a real scholarly guy."

"Oh, you mean the guy Dawkins debated in the panel format in 2010?"

"That doesn't cou...

"Why has Obama not attempted to help the people who are on America's side?"

How should he help them? For that matter how would any of the Republican candidates help them?

One thing is clear. If Iran has a nuclear weapon, the current theocratic regime's hold will be that much great...

@shimwah

Dawkins debated Craig as part of 3 on 3 debate in 2010.

I doubt anyone who watched that debate would conclude that anything productive could possibly come from further debate between those two. Everyone knows exactly what these two think on this subject.

The rest is all about publi...

"Well, if there is no God who created the universe, there literally is no meaning to the universe"

Meaning to whom? To God? Yes, then you're absolutey correct.

But there could be a supernatural creator and the universe could still have no meaning. The introduction of "God" into...

"Dawkins has no basis for his ideas of "morality"

Sure he does. Morality is a human trait that is a product of evolution. That's his basis.

Yes, Mos Def is most definitely out of his leauge here.

But I think folks are too hard on him. The questions he asks remind us that it is useful for people in a free society to ask ourselves how it is we know what we think we know. It's a point Hitchens himself made frequently.

@NickoliLion

"they never said that atheists have no purpose. They said that they cannot justify their purpose from an objective standpoint"

Not much difference really. Craig is saying that whatever purpose the nonbeliever thinks he has is an illusion.

@SLRok

"apparent design doesn't show a designer because it doesn't explain anything?"

Exactly. What's missing in your account is anything resembling an explanation.

That's why Craig's "argument" here is so silly. (And no, it's not recognized by ANY philosophers of science - they would laug...

@thestout77

"How should he have handled it?"

Would it have been so difficult to actually apologize? To identify the bigots responsible and disassociate himself from them?

When filth is published in your name, in your publication (and you make money from it) you have a certain responsbility. ...

"Do you honestly believe that all that vast, incalculable and intricate detail in DNA just arranged itself by chance?"

Nope and neither do scientists who, overwhelmingly, accept evolution. Molecules are organized according to their chemcal properties.

The larger problem with ID is...

"And for the record, M.I.A probably wouldn't even exist as a "rapper" if it wasn't for America's gangster-wannabe youth"

That's the point. She chose her moment on television's largest stage to say FU to the audience that makes her. Some people find that a bit offensive. Can't s...

@trifulquita15

"Atheists are the talibans of secularism"

That's a a bit ironic, since the secularism these atheists embrace is all about pluralism, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of conscience.

If you don't like the criticisms they offer of Christ or Christianity, you shou...

@jwtrevor

"A fellow atheist blogs "Frankly, Craig spanked Hitchens like a foolish child."

This is my favorite bit. Craig's proponents have found a single atheist bloger who thought that Craig actually won this debate and so they quote him repeatedly.

Of course they don't quote the parts wher...

Very original. An artist says FU to her audience and then basks in the publicity the controversy brings her.

It's a shame. Most Americans never heard of her. Now, this is how she'll be remembered. Not for her songs, her artistry, her philantrhopy or community work or anything else about he...

@shadowpremiere

"The whole point of the 'is there a god or not' argument is that it's completely faith based no matter which side you're on, so recognize that"

Not exactly. The position held by many - that there is insufficeint reason, evidence or justifiation to believe in the existence of a...
