He says that there is no such thing as einsteins relativity and lorenztianism rocks. And gods frame of reference is the right one while all other ones is an illusion. Why is that so?
Because god exists.
Kalam supports gods existance.
Relativity conflicts with kalam and kalam has to be right because god exists.

The way he acts as an apologist for genocide and violence in the bible without so much as to raise an eyebrow is very chilling, including his insistence that animals are non-feeling mechanisms. Something is wrong with the guy.

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.

The "A Theory of Time" has a 1984 Orwellian ring to it. I remember where Winston was being tormented at the end of the book. The primary point of the dialog was that the past wasn't a place where previous events were still being acted out. The past therefore didn't really exist. Therefore, the past could be anything that The Party claimed it was. History could be written to suit the needs of The Party. It would not be a lie because the past wasn't really real anyway.

You've already made the future choice, your just not conscious of it yet.

What? The "future" already exists? I'm not going to pretend that I have a firm grasp on Einstein's theory of relativity but I have a creeping suspicion that this is not a correct (or coherent) conclusion.
