Just like Aquin, who was engaged in motivated reasoning. He wasnt interested in finding the truth, he was interested in showing that what he believes is true. Its a known fallacy, and if you know this fallacy, presenting these arguments to others (or convincing/deluding yourself to hold this to be true) is dishonest.
I agree with Dr. Craig's approach on the subject generally, which is also very Augustino-Thomistic, and places Logic and Reason in its proper place.
You just admitted to being unreasonable. As unreasonable as Craig (and Aquin), who puts his belief above any logic and reason*. That in return fits to your (and Craigs) intellectual dishonesty. Thats why you are able to withstand being explained why and how you are factually wrong, and then continuing to peddle your bs as if nothing happened. That is why ANY kind of discussion with you is a complete waste of time: Unreasonable and dishonest, by principle.
Craig, as shown in this video you so conveniently ignore, admits to sticking to the Holy Spirit being a "self authentic means of knowing that Christianity is true". If some science contradicts his belief, he decides that science is wrong and waits for "better" scientific results. Not my words, Craig's words. Listen to the video.
Craig prioritizes his belief to any logic, reason or scientific finding. If you agree with him, you also put your "self authentic means of knowing that Christianity is true" above any of the science you constantly abuse and bastardize. Stop pretending that science or phillosophy means anything to you. They are mere tools to you to reinforce your belief. Its your perogative to do that for yourself, but people like us, who are not intellectually dishonest, will stop you from spreading this broken way of thinking, will stop you from spreading this poison to other minds.
Why bringing up all the science, when its not because of science that you believe? Its practiced dishonesty, but i understand that it does not matter to you (and Craig), since you believe to have found something "better" than logic or reason. Unfortunately, it only works for you as long as you keep your ears shut to logic and reason.
Its sad, but unfortunately is causing much harm to humanity. Thats why we cant just let ignorant people like you go ahead: You feel compelled to spread your ignorance like cancer.
* and NO, the "proper place" for logic and reason is NOT below a silly superstition, sorry.
