“Dawkins is hardly going to debate somebody he has publically called a theologian who justifies genocide.”

Dawkins already denied having a debate with Craig way before he ever wrote that article so it he clearly has other reasons.

“Do all Christians hear these voices in their head?”

Are all Atheists as arrogant and insulting as you are? No but you give Atheists a bad rep and add to their already poor rep that they have in the United States and elsewhere.

‘John Calvin described the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit as absolutely necessary in order for the individual to receive the Word:’

How does the Holy Spirit testify except by using words? And how do you hear these words ‘internally’ except by listening to the voices in your head?

Craig says it is right, if his god allegedly ordered it.

Craig says the Holy Spirit whispers to his spirit.

A whisper is a voice, so Craig is saying he hears voices in is head.

What does Craig experience when the Holy Spirit whispers to him?

Craig says he has the ‘witness’ of the Holy Spirit.

What does a witness do except speak?

So how does Craig hear this ‘witness’?

Christians like JP Moreland claim that thoughts are planted in their head…..

Dr. Cooke didn’t really engage in the debate and he seemed to give up halfway through. He didn’t answer Dr. Craig’s points and even stopped his own rebuttal early. At one point he seemed to accuse Dr. Craig of being too rational, which is odd considering the society Dr, Cooke heads up.

I think any Christian there would have been encouraged in his or her faith, both by Dr. Craig’s arguments and by Dr. Cooke’s inability to counter them. Also I would assume that many atheists there would have had their faith shaken.

Overall I was impressed at the good natured mood of both the debaters and the crowd – it was actually fun being there, and entertaining too.

The debate should be up on YouTube soon, and is worth watching.

Voices in heads? Are u being sarcastic???

William Lane Craig will no doubt have more whispers from the Holy Spirit.

Do all Christians hear these voices in their head?

Really good to see Craig debating Muslims. This is undoubtedly going to become an important factor as more Muslims enter the West, and gain access to Western sources and thinking.

What’s interesting is that the Muslim student doesn’t pull any of the traditional ridiculous arguments we often see from many Muslim apologists today (like Naik). Rather this was much more “high level” type argumentation. In fact Aijaz used William Lane Craig’s Kalam Cosmological argument and also argued from the Fine Tuning of the universe.

On the flip side, however, Dr. Bill Cooke largely ignored his opponent’s case and was surprisingly caustic, arrogant and insulting to his opponent. Even Richard Carrier in his review of the debate commented on his “insulting” approach. I won’t at all be surprised if Dr. Cooke has the same type of attitude or insulting style when he debates Craig. Hopefully Craig goes into this debate prepared ahead of time for such an approach.

Does proving a universal negative ring any bells?
