Craig simply labels the cause of the universe as god. Does this make me a theist? It's a terrible argument :P

It's like when a tribesman says that his totem pole is his god. Okay, I believe in his totem pole! That doesn't mean his claims for the supernatural powers and stories about his totem pole are in any way true. William Lane Craig provides deistic arguments, there's no way he can link that to the bible or Jesus or any of his unjustified supernatural beliefs

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Maybe if you actually watched to the video you'd see why Dr. Craig thinks God is the creator of the universe. It wouldn't do you any good to plug your ears when you watch this video. That helps.

My favorite part of this page is the description section. The poster lists the "cards", or votes, for which debater made the "clearer/better presentation". He concludes "Yup, Dr. Craig pretty much roasted Dr. Krauss" as if the audience at NC State was unbiased. A comparison between pre- and post- debate votes on the topic of the debate would be a better test. I don't know why I was surprised that someone who would post a WLC video would fail to understand basic data analysis techniques.

lawrence krauss is the man!

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Ha. All past "gods" and present day interdimensional "aliens" all have IDENTICLE properties and qualities to fallen angels aka demons.Furthermore all these beings (among others they also pose as) flee at the name of Jesus Christ and this is something I have not only studied but have experienced and the only thing you can do to "prove" me wrong is SIMPLE DENIAL against IMPROBABLE CIRCUMSTANCES. How that for "beliefs". Please. You are religiously indoctrinated to think I am.

@ATLMastering

He said he's not comfortable debating. Are you surprised he's nervous while Craig is as close as he can be to a professional debater? Wow. You're not as smart as you think.

0:28:20 One does not simply "teach quantum mechanics."

[ATLMastering]

Krauss looked like a clown up there...smh...

@mystisme

Of course emotion can be rationalized. It's all do do with the brain. Emotion isn't some mysterious thing that we can't explain.

[mystisme]

well i think that lawrence lost that debate because is scientific knowleg is to high compare to the audiance, some one whose not as educateted as him could be easly be lost wich trigger a mind shut off,than come lane that speak the langage of emotion and you do not need to be an intellect to feel emotion,emotion is not logic nor it can be rationnolize

in other term it sould be call,logic and reason against emotion intellect

[Oaktrye]

lol

[dawtchins]

@FeignofCordor Well his point is that it doesnt matter how we feel about the circumstance we find ourselves. Our beliefs dont matter. if we wipe ourselves off this planet the universe will carry on.
