*sighs* I wonder if he just deliberately miss leads people with missinformation, or if he literally doesn't understand the material. I mean, I just can't tell if he's no different then a con artist, or if he honestly and legitimately doesn't understand the research he does. : /

@Molandria

He understands the research. The question you should really be asking is whether YOU actually understand it? Craig's done research in cosmology for over 30 years. There's no doubt he knows what he's talking about.

Is that Victor Stenger at 9:11?

[Christianjr4]

Yes it is. See the Q&A section of this lecture for some discussion between Craig and Stenger.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." If we shake off the the shackles of self imposed presuppositions we may find we don't need a "new way" when the Way is right in front of us.

@Molandria Dr Craig spent 13 years studying the nature of God, and the nature of Time. I'm not sure you can fairly criticise him as misunderstanding it. What are your credentials?

[Molandria]

@Christianjr4 You do realize the questions he asks have been rebutted before he was born right, and yet he keeps repeating them like a mantra the way Way of the Master do. He offers nothing new.

I had forgotten this video so I just reviewed some... You realize he's calling Stephen Hawking a believer in God, that is a divine interventionist, a conscious entity outside of time and space right?

what's the design on his tie? I can't figure it out

"...the majority of undiscerning humanity are creatures with the same significance as insects in a much greater struggle between greater forces which, due to humanity's small, visionless and unimportant nature, it does not recognize..."

I wonder if our brains will ever develop/incorporate some new way of thinking...
