Although he states that you can prove the negative, he does not believe his own words. As a hypocrite, he is only making these claims here to win an argument against a person he loathes (in this case, an atheist).
I can hardly speak to the motives or abilities of a person who isn't here. That said, if you find somebody with a sufficiently closed mind you could hammer their thumbs flat on an anvil to no effect, so there's little point in anything as civil as a conversation.
Quote:For example, archaeology, history, and geology have proven that most events described in the Bible have never happened; yet, Craig and his ilk still do not behave as if the negative has been proven. Instead, they believe that, for example, the Garden of Eden and Noah's flood really happened. In the case of Craig, he makes excuses, claiming that it's "mytho-history" or that it happened but in a different way that is spiritually true, which then ends up being "materially true". Thus, he believes that a historical Adam and a historical talking snake really existed. Let alone the convoluted logic he uses to "prove" that god (of the Bible) has not been disproven.
You're playing the game of the presuppositional apologist here. None of us checks for proof when we cross the street. Look for evidence of cars and press the walk button. Anything else is just the usual burden-shifting games.
