...who has the audacity to defend one of the most widely rejected arguments in the history of philosophy, while appealing to "expert consensus" to dismiss the logical argument from evil and claim support for his "four facts" of the resurrection.
Nevermind that real philosophers like Alex Rosenberg and actual historians like Bart Ehrman (in whose field Craig has no claim to expertise whatsoever) have flat out told him he's wrong. He still goes around posturing as though anyone who holds these positions is something akin to a science-denialist.
Oh, and then there's the Kalam. Doesn't seem to matter how many times actual physicists tell him he doesn't understand the relevant science, and that the overwhelming majority them of don't take the argument seriously. In his mind, he's stuck back in the dark ages when theology was the most important and prestigious field of study. He really does seem to consider himself at the top of the hierarchy of intellectual disciplines.
A Gemma is forever.
