Okay, it's a recent radio debate; perhaps that is what Craig is doing these days, as opposed to his regular "stand ups".

I'll listen to it, eventually; but, Craig's arguments are absolutely lame.  Here's the Nobel physicist J. J. Thomson's "plum pudding" model of the atom that you can find in a stared, optional section of Modern Physics, 3rd Edition by Professor Kenneth S. Krane, a modern-day physicist:

As you can see, Professor Thomson's model is completely coherent from a mathematical point of view, but, it's not the way Nature (at least in our Universe) works.  And, so, Dr. Craig's claim that the Universe is mathematical is true, but only in a weak sense.
