I just finished watching this debate from earlier this year. I think Sean M. Carroll did a phenomenal job, far better than Lawrence Krauss did against Craig. In this debate, the issues are laid out by two excellent debaters. Craig held his own and I appreciate him nailing the theistic approach to cosmology.
That said, having the two issues laid out, it's clear to me that theism as one of the many speculative models out there is the least interesting and offers no predictive value. It's an utterly fruitless thought experiment--ultimately, pointless speculation--on par with the brain in a vat.
It's a long debate (two hours) but if questions of Cosmology interest you, specifically in the framework of naturalism vs. theism approaches, this will be worth your while:
