Brother Shabir Ally and Dr. Craig are both very congenial and knowledgable scholars. I really enjoy every debate between them. Interreligious debates should look like this one.

I AGREE WITH YOU QUASAR619 there is only one problem. After all that see him rise from the dead again, then what about the people that did not see it. Like people from 50 to 100 years from now? We will be right back to where we started. People not believing. You are correct though,.

[klevdav]

did gravity exist before you were born, yes or no, how would u know unless you are born and experience it. did Jesus of Mary's womb rise from the dead? and did the women tell the truth? Yes or No. other than reading mark,matthew, luke and john,

what basis do you have for yes or no? rofl

[AThagoras]

Did Jesus Christ really rise from the dead? NO. Don't be silly!

Next question?

[147blablablack]

Historical facts about New tastement is very vague. What about historical facts?/ Well that's very vague as well. What about the original writings??? Well we don't have any. What about 3. Well that is not one.

[babystinky]

yeah both are great debaters and both think the other is in the wrong faith! Such is the way of things.

[oombuddah]

Craig - at 5:13, you said the new testament documents establish 5 facts! What about outside of the N.T

[almao2006]

Did a GOD need to put the Stone away in order to rise Jesus(PBUH)

Strange Paulistian/Christian Religion

[Quasar619]

Why not come back from heaven and have a live news conference on CNN, FOX, AP, BBC, etc. and rise from the dead all over again live on national television? Would this not end all debate? How can one deny Him then? Surely, a GOD that created the entire universe can easily pull this off.
