@BloodOfRayne ARE YOU SERIOUS????!!! I'll take it you're a troll.

[ohitsnat]

if something exists, it probably acts. and in acting, there are mechanics, whether we understand them or not. the ATTEMPTING to understand, then, would not out of necessity be a pseudo science, even if you could prove that ALL of it's theories and evidences were false. and in the most basic sense, we know that light acts as quanta, so then quantum mechanics follows naturally. it's illogical to say it is a pseudo science....

[BloodOfRayne]

but quantum mechanics is a still a pseudo science that no-one has any evidence for!

@MrP4rker I believe John Lennox elserwhere on the youtube that told about east german christians that they knew their bibles well but little else because they were prevented from higher learning by the communist state. The bible is enough but we live in abundance and freedom and I am very grateful for it.

[MrP4rker]

I don't need more books! I have the BIBLE! It's good enough.

@leahcim776 Yes, but the alternative does not make much sense. Otherwise religion would have already died.

with all due respect dr shook strikes me as a 13year old in a adults body.. when he argues a point he has that small inclination of immaturity about him.. ive seen dr craig debate atheists who are far better.

[leahcim776]

@ 45:20 Dr. Craig's position boils down to : "I want to be special, and without God I'm not special." Well, boo-frickin'-hoo. What if I tell him he's special? Why isn't that good enough? I do think he's special...Out of the trillions of beings who have existed on earth over the last few billion years, WE ARE ALL THE LUCKY ONES WHO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING ALIVE RIGHT NOW! If he can't see that as something special, in and of itself, then I can't hope to make him smarter than he chooses to be.

@strongyang No he made strong points, Dr Craig pretty much made game of words

@shimwah

exactly. Craig is simply shifting the burden of proof. Craig asks, "is there something beyond the natural world" answer.........there is no evidence for it at this time, it is unknown, so no. Then the burden would be on Craig to prove his position.
