Thousands of mathematical proofs exist that prove such; of course, an acceptance of ZFC and the Axiom of Infinity is necessary to get the balling rolling, so to speak. Professor Wes Morriston has written extensively in response to WLC, and even quotes Craig who once stated that his ideas will make sense to an individual at least until that person has taken a course in elementary number theory, complex analysis, etc.
I keep hearing about this ZFC stuff but never getting around to reading up on it. ELI5 (or perhaps ELI15): What's it about?
Read Dr. James A. Lindsay's book, Dot, Dot, Dot...Infinity Plus God Equals Folly, which is available on Audible, also (read by Dr. Lindsay himself). He addresses Craig's argument. That the number "2" (or, its square root) exists in some Platonic realm is silly; does the transcendental number "pi" exist there, also? But, read (or listen) to Lindsay's book for more details.
