As an agnostic - the debate between Craig and Hitchens was a pleasure to watch. You could tell Hitchens was fuming and shaking in silent rage at some points Craig made. I used to favour Hitchens and Dawkins, that's before I had an epiphany, that something inside me was at war with the notion of god and his silence in all the chaos that is the universe. It might very well be true for Hitchens apparent in his complete disgust at such a notion. I've made my peace - now I keep silent.

Richard Dawkins needs to man up and debate Craig. His logic is very sound and makes much more sense than the atheistic position. For atheists who claim to be logical and rational, they don't follow they own rules very much.

Slightly off-topic, but Craig with a beard? EPIC!!

I'm glad Dr. Craig exists; because Atheists always have it too easy when they debate believers in God. Dr Craig, I would say, should be regarded primarily as a philosopher, a very intelligent philosopher. He made Hitchens sweat, and Hitchens had to resort to his English wit and humour, arguing the problems of Religion, like he usually does, when the debate was strictly indicated to be an argument of the existence of God. Atheists can't win the argument, Dr. Craig has shown us why.

@7SethMurrant7 *Sigh* Do some homework on Craig and the Kalam Cosmological

Argument before you spout nonsense that's been answered times over by philosophers and theologians

@emailpobox666 should have been "omnipotence are incompatible with omni-benevolence.

[emailpobox666]

objections to Craig's arguments. Cosmological- causality is incoherent prior to the universes existence Moral- circular reasoning . God gives objective morals objective morals prove god Fine Tuning - begs the question assumes that the universe has a purpose Ontological argument - incoherent concept of a Maximal Great being. Omniscience and omnipotence are inescapable with omni-benevolence.

What I don't get is how Craig says it's ridiculous for something to be eternal and has to have a beginning, yet never says how God was created.

@Eirikofs Just give the entire debate a try.
