Why Something Rather Than Nothing?

[Esquilax]

There's no doubt that Craig is a philosopher, and given the task he's set for himself, I think he's done a better job than almost any other Christian. That he's so smart, and made so little progress, does much to support the idea that the Christian God-idea is wrong.

Smart? That's an interesting opinion.

Yeah, I wouldn't say smart, I would say slick. Polish can easily take the place of skill if, as Craig's audience- and one could argue the entire audience for christian apologetics- are, willing to eat up whatever is doled out, so long as it matches their prejudices.

However, lately you can see he's being pushed into a corner, as the actual showmanship of his work is being eroded, leaving behind just the nice words and familiar ideas for the christian audience, bereft of content. Hence the "self authenticating witness" crap, and the barest of lip service he pays to science. He's having to retreat further into his base, because it's getting increasingly obvious his shit won't fly to anyone who doesn't already believe it.
