IF you compare WLC with say Ray Comfort or Ken Ham ( the bloke with a face like a peeled penis),the man is intellectual giant. However, if you compare him with a real scholar, such as say Richard Dawkins ( Phd Oxford) WLC is a village idiot,just like most of the apologist we have on this forum.

IF the premise is true (which is actually arguable) the conclusion does not infer God. We are left with "what caused God?". The claim "God is the exception" is a logical fallacy called 'special pleading' which abrogates the premise.
Oh,Craig is also a member of "The Discovery Institute" ,which says all that is necessary to say about the depth of his scholastic rigour.
His claim to fame:
Quote:Craig's primary contribution to philosophy of religion is his revival of the Kalām cosmological argument. In The Kalām Cosmological Argument, he formulates the argument in the following manner:
Everything that begins to exist has a cause of its existence.
The universe began to exist.
Therefore, the universe has a cause of its existence.[8]
