Debate: God & Morality: William Lane Craig vs Erik Wielenberg
|
 A good debate, that Craig (at least in my opinion) lost. I could only think, "The Emperor has no clothes..." while listening to Professor Wielenberg dissect Craig's theology, point by point. 
There was a time Craig seemed unbeatable. That time has passed .

Morality isn't a good subject for him. He has this constantly puzzled look on his face whenever he debates it, lol.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

During one of his debates, Craig said, "I spend most of my time reading atheist literature." As if there is that much "atheist literature" to read! What Craig was, in fact, admitting to is that he is a professional debater, and his goal, in showing-up for debates, is to "win" them, which means obfuscating, lying, distorting, and in general, posturing his way through his debates to "win" them from the perspective of his base. However, with the rise of the Internet, Craig's shenanigans have been documented for the entire World to see: RationalWiki -- William Lane Craig RE: Debate: God & Morality: William Lane Craig vs Erik Wielenberg

I recall the last debate I watched with Craig about morality - it was with Shelley Kagan..he spent the entire time completely perplexed. He didn't read a thing..and Kagans stuff is in the public domain.........totally blindsided.
In any case, the point of his debating is to puff his website to the credulous.......which sells his merch.

There was no way Craig could've embarrassed him in any way. And I think Shelly Kagan is a philosopher of ethics and morality and wrote at least one book about it, so this subject is his specialty. 
Is this a thread to discuss the points made or is this one of your "I Hate WLC with a blind hatred that borders on obsession" threads?
Just in case it is the former, what was Wielenberg's best point against WLC's argument? 
Watch the thing then get back and ask the same question.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Who has seen the debate where William Lane Craig was destroyed by Shelly Kagan?

Actually it's not about a blind hatred of him. It's about making fun of how utterly pathetic his positions are. |
