It is possible that Cindy Crawford exists. This possibility cannot be dis-proven, therefore it is likely she does exist. If she does exist, logic flows that she always has existed. It is also possible that she may want to sleep with me. Therefore, she always wants to sleep with me. Logically it follows that in a universe where she always exists and always wants to sleep with me, then it MUST follow that she DOES in fact sleep with me.

I had no idea. Awesome! Thanks Dr. Craig!

'Dr' Craig is basically repeating the Courtier's Reply:

Until [Hitchens] has trained in the shops of Paris and Milan, until he has learned to tell the difference between a ruffled flounce and a puffy pantaloon, we should all pretend he has not spoken out against the Emperor's taste. His training in biology may give him the ability to recognize dangling genitalia when he sees it, but it has not taught him the proper appreciation of Imaginary Fabrics.

@quantumleap8824 "Craig hits below the belt with his last statement. Hitchens did in no way, avoid the 10 arguments or so" but Hitchens replied to nothing, in fact he never understood the arguments. He is not an educated person, just a wordsmith

[jackflash341]

@lambent77777 Agreed the exact same closing statement and accusations every time. Craig seems to believe that because he does not find the answers satisfying or agreeable then they have clearly not been answered according to him I never understand why he has such a good reputation as a debater.

Neil deGrasse Tyson...there Dr.Craig all 10 of your arguments were destroyed in 5 minutes

i love how not finding a body missing a human male chromosome is proof that jesus is the son of god..... hard fail

Craig hits below the belt with his last statement. Hitchens did in no way, avoid the 10 arguments or so, what happened was the debate was simply led in that direction by all of them. What's funny is that all the Apologists didn't prove in any way what so ever, that God does exist either. They try to leave the benefit of the doubt. For someone to disprove the existence of God, he first has to be proven! Hitchens rules! :D

The sky did fall down yet Chris debated, and sat at the same table, with four Theists at once. And has now also debated with William Lane Craig by himself. Yet Richard Dawkins will not debate with WLC making the most ridiculous excuses.

He has also declined to respond in print to WLC's published criticisms of this book The God Delusion. Poor show really.

@tr2n09 The "10 arguments" (much of them rehashed variations of the ontological argument for existence) have been dead since Kant. Theology and religious apologetics are complete joke amongst philosophy academics.

[slovakmath]

the delusional guy who spoke last was unjustified in his claims that  claims that hitchens supposedly lost the debate. any thinking person and any person who understands logical fallacies (which have to be followed in these kinds of debates) would see that hitchens clearly won. those who believe the 4 degenerate infantile xtians won the debate, only believe so because they dont have the slightest clue what fallacies are, and certainly dont know what logic is. ppl look silly who make this error

[lordrazr]

Dr.Hon.Lord Craig ESQ., is such an idiot. "i heard 10 arguments". Of course they werent refutted, they are not valid and groundless. Well i heard about 20 from hitchens that werent refutted. Like his opinion is the only one that counts. Fuck him and the horse he road in on.
