That's just it, he's not well-respected.

It's not about my "bias" but that he said that evidence would not change his mind - like did you see the video in first post? Not to mention that he has the same stance on LGBTQ people, abortion and other stuff just like Ham.

Actually it's the opposite. Craig is the one who makes the caricature of atheist claims, like on suffering. Atheists claim that good God would not let people suffer immensely and tragically, but instead Craig claims that atheists demand God to give people cushy life, lots of money, with nice stuff and that's why God is not good in their eyes, and many others things that Craig doesn't understand or just turns into a caricature.
Really, look at this video, Craig is a joke
And that's just one of many videos on YouTube debunking his dumb claims.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
