I probably won't stay- I'm actually majoring in philosophy though, so maybe I can contribute even better.

Awesome. Then maybe you can produce something not stupid. The kalam argument has deficits you might want to address. Feel free. What is your thinking on the matter?
My study is mostly focused on philosophy of mind, but one big problem I have with Craig and the whole kalam argument is how quickly they dispose of the "Big Crunch" theory of the universe. Besides the epistemology, I also dispute the claim that the universe had a beginning, because I think that there always was a state of affairs, even in a big bang or pre-big bang scenario.
