He's retired.  Retirement is supposed to be one's "golden years," but, it would seem, that Sir Roger feels the need to engage in public service:

Oh!

Is that the same Robert Penros who proposed the 'Penrose effect' in relation to black holes?

Yay that he's handing Craig his @rse!

Not at work.

Saw that few months back. Penrose did look bored there actually.

Anyway don't expect much of a knockdown here. It's very difficult to beat WLC in a game of rhetoric and counter arguments. Even though Penrose is heaps smarter than WLC.

I don't need to watch 1.5 hours of WLC in anything, getting his head handed to him or not.

I agree. I've seen Craig make the same claims, even when they've been soundly refuted in previous debates. He's nothing more than a showman with an agenda.

In my opinion, he is a classic example from economics of where demand creates supply.

WLC is the lemonade stand seller (sorry to any kids selling lemonade in the suburbs) of apologia to all those thirsty thirsty Christians, basically.
