4:32 - Easily my favorite part of the interview.

For those of you wondering: Yes, I'll be uploading Craig's debate with Andrew Copson and Arif Ahmed. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE though.

That drawing of Dr. Craig at the end needs to be made into a meme; with a witty caption.

Atheist: "Who created god?"

Theist: *Posts picture saying: "xyz."*

I think it could be funny as it would be Christianity's very own "are you serious" de-motivational.

i disapprove allheartedly to lots of things dr craig say, particularly when he talks about the Kalam argument. However, i like the fact that he is always polite and well mannered, something dawkins needs to learn. To Dawkins fans : listen more to people like Arif ahmed and neil degrasse Tysond. Dawkins is good when it comes to science, but he's not really good in formal logic.

Beyond all doubt? No.

Beyond reasonable doubt? Yes. There are converts due to the arguements.

The problem here in lies that it is often not the reational arguements that keep a person from belief in God, but personal or emotional ones. Listen to the debate between Dawkins and Lennox and you can see that Dawkins's primary dismissal of Jesus as God is that the matter seems "petty" - a subjective value judgement on his part and not an objective examination of the facts.

[anandnairkollam]

Can arguments prove the existence of god?

[BoethianAcolyte]

Lol village atheism. So awesome.

@drcraigvideos did u see the NOVA special on the multi-verse? It is basically that there must be a multi-verse because of eternal expansion, to help string theory fit and it makes the probability of our universe being special vanish. Did u see that? I wonder if they made the "special" in response to Craig. anything to avoid that dirty 3 letter word- G-O-D.

In the speculation, parallel universes can exist with aliens. Could there be a parallel universe with beings and the creator of ours?? duh

@redrover411 In some cases, I have no doubt what so ever that it is what they honestly believe (most cases, actually), but the intoxicating feeling of that absolute freedom can blind someone to other possibilities even if atheism is false (belief is not enough).

As for embracing atheistic virtues, I'd say that there are none, just as there are no atheistic vices. Atheists steals all forms of morality from other moral codes since all atheism professes is a universe of cold indifference.

@redrover411 Have you even read the bible? It's always been this way. Few there are that travel the straight and narrow path. Broad is the way that leads to destruction. There is many on that broad path.

@redrover411 "The losing side always says this"

The losing side? What did u win?
