Dr. Craig is a liar.

[Mister Agenda]

Does that include creating something from nothing, and if not why not?

What are our choices? 
A) The universe sprang from nothing
B) The universe (or a predecessor) always existed necessarily 
C) God created the universe from nothing

B is difficult to defend because of the infinite regression absurdity. Between A and C, at least you have God as an efficient cause were as A has neither an efficient nor material cause.

Not to pick a nit, but wouldn't the universe always existing unnecessarily be an option? Like there didn't have to be a universe, but there is.

And God could have created the universe from himself, as Roadrunner pointed out.

Or the creator could have been any of a potentially infinite list of conceivable entities capable of causing the universe but not fitting the description of the Christian God or being in any way worthy of worship.
