"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.
I have seen several Hitchens debates where he appeared to get flustered, sweat, and stumble. I have also seen debates where he ripped his opponents apart. My best guess is that everyone has good and bad days.
...I would also like to see his debate with Ehrman. I've read much of Ehrman's work, and he is one of the most intelligent biblical researchers I have read. I find it odd that anyone could win a debate against him, as he most certainly knows his stuff inside and out...
