Evidence for God: William Lane Craig vs Lawrence Krauss (6 of 6) - Q&A

http://www.reasonablefaith.org - March 30, 2011 - Dr. William Lane Craig (author of Theism, Atheism, and Big Bang Cosmology) debates Lawrence M. Krauss (author of The Physics of Star Trek) at NCSU on the evidence for God. This may be one of the most bizarre opponents Dr. Craig has ever debated - with Krauss admitting that his position is illogical along with his theatrics of brandishing a T-shirt that says "2+2=5"! Dr. Craig prevailed quite easily I'm afraid.

the thing (to my mind)is that if you believe in myths and stories coming to us from centuries ago you are a naive and under developed human being no matter how many phds you've got.not believing in scientific facts and what they have shown us so far just seems incredibly ignorant.

@rouzbehazshab That's not a nice thing to say about Dr. Krauss. Leave him alone! He's a human being. He believe that 2+2=5!

[ApatheticOmniscience]

@drcraigvideos *for extremely large values of 2. There's a difference.

[drcraigvideos]

@ApatheticOmniscience Then don't call it "2". Call it 2.5 and such. Sorry, but 2+2 can never equal 5. A one-year old would know that.

@rouzbehazshab Francis S Collins, Head of the Human Genome Project, is a devout Christian- is he incredibly ignorant? John Polkinghorne, one of the discoverers of the quark, a very prominent physicist, is he ignorant of science? Simon Conway Morris, the palaeontologist? Paul Davies? Kenneth R Miller?

Craig is wrong. The validity of the strongest version of the POE (which is probably John Mackie's) wouldn't put a dent in Christianity. The "greatest possible being" conception of God is a Scholastic innovation. The property of omnibenevolence, or infinite goodness, or whatever, is not a term you will find mentioned in any of the early ecumenical councils. Christians are not required to accept that God is "omnibenevolent" to be in His good graces. So it's a premise Christians can deny.

@BlueTusk1 micheal jackson was a sensational singer. he performed for huge crowds... does that make him a very social person? a very normal person? If they truely believe in christianity, it's likely they just follow the religion because it's 'expected' of them. I know how people are looked at in some communities for not attending the 'proper faith', especially in the USA.

@mindauggas Go to Wikipedia's "Probability" page, there are many references and book titles and people listed. I tried to help you out, maybe I did a horrid job. :/

[mindauggas]

Where can I find something to read about "the maximum number of possible calculations"?

[xnothingbutthetruth]

@drcraigvideos only sometimes.... you know, for "high values of 2".....

@rouzbehazshab You're a bit of an idiot though arent you, in making that comment? Francis S Collins, Head of the Human Genome Project, is a devout Christian- is he incredibly ignorant? John Polkinghorne, one of the discoverers of the quark, a very prominent physicist, is he ignorant of science? Simon Conway Morris, the palaeontologist? Paul Davies? Kenneth R Miller?
