William Lane Craig continues to desperately defend the indefensible.

By the process of abstraction, people strip away the unessential features of particular things to recognize the universal ideas that a group of objects share. In order to have the idea of a pattern, the pattern must, in some way, already be present.

Yes, the pattern must be present, in that repetitions of a given concept must exist in order for a pattern to be established (you can't have a pattern of one, after all.) But I suspect that something just existing as what it is by definition isn't what you had in mind; you rarely seem satisfied unless people are also claiming that simple things must be magic in order to exist at all.

In that case, if you're claiming that the pattern must exist in some other way, perhaps one that points to your god, how about you justify that claim with the evidence that led you to that conclusion, instead of just asserting it and calling people ignorant? You know, basic support for ideas? Thinking
