False dichotomy.
It is entertaining that you think an eternal deity is a more logically sound explanation than being arising from non-being. Have you considered the possibility that the beginning of the universe is almost certainly going to be counterintuitive and that you really ought to stop trying to apply common sense to the least common of events? If you ask meaningless questions you get answers like "42" or "God".
And I really wish that you lot could find something more interesting than reheated Craig to annoy us with.

William Lane Craig is a christian apologist.
BustedTailight is thus an apologist for an apologist.
It's turtles all the way down.
Good old infinite regress, ya gotta love it. And now you know why i don't want to debate him . No. I think you are aware as am I that there is no rational discourse to be had with this level of superstitious crap. I cannot speak for you, obviously, but I find as I age that my tolerance for this BS is inversely decreasing. Now I often wonder why I should even bother anymore. I am aging and getting tired, what is the point of flogging this dead deity? And then I hear about the latest outrage perpetrated against my transgender eldest child and find myself re-invigourated.
Wanna know what is most interesting about that? It is always the religious bigots who cause a problem. Isn't that interesting in a disgusting kind of way.

Sorry but WLC just winds me the fuck up to hell and back. Particularly his imitation of the supposed mannerisms of the strangely white caucasian jesus he espouses.

Well, for me it started with the simple reality that theology is not a science no matter how much theologists protest that simple fact. WLC thinks otherwise for reasons, you know, reasons. REASONS.
He is an idiot.

A blorp by definition is an entity that consumes gods.
It exists on a massive scale and contains an infinite number of infinities.
No gods can exist in universes where blorps exist.
If a blorp exists in one possible universe, they exist in all possible universes.
Thus by definition, gods cannot exist.

Because we're talking about all physicality. A physical reality producing all physical reality is a logical contradiction.
Who said it "produced" anything. An eternal universe is a state of being.

By "physical reality" I can only assume he means this universe as we see it? If we're positing fairies to explain the inexplicable, shouldn't we pick something inexplicable, or, at least unexplained?
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!
