Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[Esquilax]

Sorry, what is so special about matter that requires it to be finite?

Just read Craig's book (Crossway Books, 1994), pp. 91-116.

Ok, he's got third edition out, so, it's starting p. 111, according to Google Books.

Fun fact, William Lane Craig is not a scientist.

Fun fact the second: William Lane Craig willfully misinterprets actual science so that it fits with what he wants to be true. There's a debate you can find between him and Sean Carrol, where Craig references a certain theorem (the Borde-Guth-Villenkin theorem, I believe) in support of his argument. Carrol, apparently being very well prepared, proceeds to show a video of Alan Guth, one of the writers of that theorem, who explicitly states on record that what Craig claims about his theorem is not what the theorem actually says.

One would expect that Craig would then admit the error, given that the man who wrote the paper obviously knows more about its contents than some layman.

Instead, Craig brushes him off: "That's just his opinion," was his argument, as if Craig's opinion on Alan Guth's work is more reputable than his own. He then accuses Guth of bias.

In short, why the hell should I care what Craig thinks about anything, when he's already demonstrated his lack of respect for facts?
