Where have you seen that???
Hi,
I have seen a debate between Craig and Christopher Hitchens and I was quite disappointed with Hitchens. He seemed unprepared and he didn't address the points raised by Craig. In the end, I felt certain that Craig won the debate but Hitchens could have countered a lot of the flawed arguments of Craig's but he did not. I'm not sure if Hitchens was already ill at that time but I wish Dawkins had been the one debating. I think Dawkins would have done a much better job but he doesn't like to debate.
Another debate I've seen is the one Craig had with Bart Ehrman. Craig was very rude and he insulted Ehrman many times. Craig's arguments were stupid but Craig is very good at inundating his opponent with stupid arguments but they are many so it's hard to counter all of them.
