I've always felt that there's nothing special or unique about Craig and his arguments. He looks and looks for things that support what he already believes to be true. In other words, he isn't looking for truth. He's looking for validation of a worldview that God has already told him is the right one.
Other than being better read and knowing words like 'cosmological', how is Craig's approach any different from that of a 5th century Welsh peasant with garlic on his breath and pigsty on his feet whose reaction to uncomfortable notions is to stick his fingers in his ears, squinch up his eyes and shout, 'I'M NOT LISTENING! NEENER NEENER!!' (he'd be compelled to shout it in Welsh, of course, but you get the gist)
WLC is a boil on the buttocks of philosophical inquiry.
