Actually, he has 2.
University of Birmingham (Ph.D. 1977)
University of Munich (D.Theol. 1984)
He has authored or edited over thirty books, including The Kalam Cosmological Argument; Assessing the New Testament Evidence for the Historicity of the Resurrection of Jesus; Divine Foreknowledge and Human Freedom; Theism, Atheism and Big Bang Cosmology; and God, Time and Eternity, as well as over a hundred articles in professional journals of philosophy and theology, including The Journal of Philosophy, New Testament Studies, Journal for the Study of the New Testament, American Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy, and British Journal for Philosophy of Science.
You may not agree with him, but he certainly way smarter than average and has thought more on these topics than you ever will.
All that, and he still presents the same flawed version of the Cosmological Argument for decades, as if it is unassailable and has never been refuted.
At the very least, he is intellectually dishonest.
He enters debates with the alleged intent of changing minds. Yet he does so with the knowledge going in, that he will never change his mind.
He has stated several times, that "witness of the holy spirit" will always trump 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.
