At the very least, he is demonstrably intellectually dishonest.
Everyone of his debate points where he uses physics have been shot down, by the physicists he quotes, yet he continues to use them.
In one of his debates with, Sean Pete Carroll (a physicist), WLC uses one of these tactics and quotes another physicist. As a rebuttal, Carroll wheels out a monitor with a vid of the physicist WLC quotes saying the WLC completely misunderstands physics.
But most of all, WLC admits that no amount of evidence will ever get him to change his beliefs because, "the inner witness of the holy spirit" takes priority over, you know... actual demonstrable evidence.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
