William Lane Craig likes to think of himself as an academic, an intellectual and if you believe his fans, 'is regarded by many as one of the worlds leading in Christian Apologetics'. Well that's all fine and dandy until you actually check out William Lane Craigs track record in the peer review literature. See it turns out that William Lane Craig is a champion in academic circles only in the category of publishing 'uncitable junk'.
In academia 'the size of your balls' is largely determined how many papers you've written, and how many citations they pick up: basically how many interesting papers you've written. Turns out William Lane Craigs papers pull in on average about 2 citations, with his top citated work pulling something like a dozen citations. That's an absolutely farcical track record. Personally I find it difficult to see how the man can have such a high opinion of himself when his citations record is so poor. Indeed, by this metric, I've know people who have surpassed the entire contribution of WLCs academic career merely a couple of years after getting a PhD.

Normally I would let this sort of thing slide, apart from the man is such a professional slimeball in his dealings with the likes of Richard Dawkins that I figure his dirty little secret needs a little exposure. I mean with an ego like Craigs, you know the one thing that will cut his ego deeper than any insult is rubbing his nose in his utterly lack-luster citations record.

Personally I think he should hereafter be referred to as William Lane 'Two Citations' Craig, or he gets antsy about his credentials, Dr 'Two Citations' Craig.

    So you're response to me saying I dislike ignorance is to go "AHAHAHA" repeatedly.

    Wow, thanks for supporting my claim then. Lol.

    Came in the middle of a row of replies? Either the placement of your replies look different to me or you're lying, which wouldn't surprise me.

    But make no mistake, I stopped at your continued use of poor grammar despite being corrected for you multiple times. I dislike ignorance but incompetance is far worse. You will start recognizing your mistakes and you will start with your grammar, or this "insignificant retard" will simply "stop read" everything you type.

    Imbecile.

    You responded to a reply that came in the middle of a row of replies. If it had been believable you should've stopped reading at the first reply I posted. So no Larry I don't buy that you haven't read all of it, because you have. It's just that you're such a poor lost little gimp you can't think out anything to say in response. Not even any lies. Life must be tough when you're an insignificant retard with no intelligence and no sincerity.

    [Stop repeat] Ok, until you use proper grammar I'm not responding to anything. It's frankly embarassing being seen with someone who has the grammar and spelling of a 4 year old.

    How does this 'Debate' even exist? One side does research with tangeble evidence, provides it's findings and illustrates how it arrived at a given conclusion and encourages others to scrutinize their findings, the other side just declares that they are right because they believe they are, gets angry at anyone who contradicts them while producing no evidence and when pressed for it colapses into incoherent gibberish that has nothing to do with topic.

    Nice how you avoid alot of what I addressed about replying to you. Why do you bitch about something just to drop it later on? Are you a forgetful moron or just very dishonest? Or both?
