Why won't Richard Dawkins debate you?

Here is why: watch?v=JFamS4RGE_A

@HeroOfChristArchives I'm actually not Dr. Craig. But I'm aware of that video. Thanks. Here's a rebuttal: watch?v=JX0CBq4qjuo

@SurvivalGear63 God bless, great testimony. I agree with you about the accuracy of Biblical prophecy; it's something I think most people like to write-off as 'self-fulfilling' or what have you...but some prophecies are so out of the blue, 'irrational' ;) and obscure at the time of prophecy that when they become fulfilled many years later, it's impossible to dispute their validity.

@BTW, Whether god exists or not has absolutely NO bearing on whether or not miracles can or can't occur- nor does it change them being the LEAST likely to occur by their very definition.Just FYI.

@EnlightenedReader: How is assuming naturalism in an historical context a fallacy? A naturalistic assumption is common to just about everyone including you, except for cases on special pleading.There simply isn't a rational reason to assume a miracle. It's the LEAST likely explanation by it's very definition.

@quakerman7: Why attack personally? A miracle is the ABSOLUTE LAST thing a thinking person would resort to for an explanation. If you examined your life you know you live that way too. You live in a naturalistic universe and you demonstrate that everyday. You only reserve a "special pleading" for miracles as an apologist. History has no access to miracles.

[quakerman7]

At 34:00, Ehrman ... what a dufus. Miracles are highly improbable. Has anybody heard Ravi Zacharias or John Lennox speak on this? The whole point of a miracle is that its very unusualness highlights its as a distinct event. We know something big has happened because something Big has happened. If nothing Big ever happened, we wouldn't even have the concept of 'miracle' in our lexicon. A miracle, I say, is no less probable than Existence itself.

Yes the tomb was empty, but THAT'S NOT IN QUESTION. The question is WHY was it empty (eg. GRAVE ROBBERY?). Jhn 20:2 has Mary M. reporting to the disciples "'They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've laid him!" This is in spite of an earthquake and an angelic announcemt that he was missing due to having risen (Matt. 28:5). Watch my video "Was Jesus' Resurrection Physical or Spiritual?" for more.

@Lacocacolaman nope, chuck testa

@Falcondick69 That is where, my friend, I don't bother wasting my time. ;)

[Falcondick69]

@xchampx i know, but you clearly don't understand the how illogical and no matter how much evidence presented to one of these "new atheists" they are going to jump through so many hoops to avoid evidence that trying to show them they are wrong is like trying to fit "a camel through the eye of a needle"

@DeJay14 Well, read Isaiah. The book was written centuries before Christ. When they found the Dead Sea scrolls, they found a whole book of Isaiah intact and it was word for word everything of the book of Isaiah that we have today.
