Why I Won't Debate William Lane Craig - Richard Dawkins 

I admire how Dawkins isn't opposed to be pressed or challenged on his views and keeps them firm. That's what makes this such an insightful and beautiful conversation!

@@jonathanj2666 I agree with that to, they are both being good sported in this interview.

why are your apostrophies backwards

@@Filosofos1some people around the world type on different types of keyboards. If you type on a Danish/Swedish/Norwegian keyboard, the actual apostrophe sign is quite difficult to find because those languages don’t really use apostrophes.

The guys a toy.

John Lennox embarrassed him badly

@@raylanbenjamin6943John Lennox is simply a dope.

You dropped your clown card🤡​@@jimtruscott5670

​@@jimtruscott5670Nice insult. May encourage clever people to investigate how dope he is...

@@timpetrinadavison8392 I agree. John Lennox is a simpering idiot.

I know, right? :)))) Funny. It's called projection

It’s funny

Dawkins might be pompous but at least he's right.

What's pompous about Dawkins?

Yes it is, Dr. Craig would make Dawkins look like a buffoon. Hats off to Alex for being a generous host to all his guest.

Lol, good point

Just what I was thinking!

I don't find him pompous at all. I find that he's humble, says things like "I might be wrong, but..." all the time, and generally listens quite closely to others.

​@@onnadarts23Agreed. Having a British accent doesn't make someone necessarily sound pompous. WLC, on the other hand, always has an arrogant expression and sounds like he's edging on an orgasm when he speaks.

Well if I were to imagine it, it would absolutely be someone like WLC that he was criticizing.

Why?

You're muddling the map for the place. An accent isn't equivalent to pomposity.

I would also like to know why you say that

I took it as Dawkins was more disgusted by what Craig is pompous about... ie Craig is pompous while bloviating in support of highly detestable and immoral topics

@@NickHolum indeed. I don't think the OP has read the definition of the word. It certainly doesn't fit Dawkins.

Quite the opposite.

How?

Bring forth one argument that proves god Lennox said 😊

Dawkins would wet his pants if he got close to Bill Craig

​@@billleroy6736Craig is a brainwashed crank, making a living peddling a myth. 😂

Afraid is probably not the right word, but I certainly think he should be wary of it. WLC is quite skilled in the art of debate by simply using a reassuring voice and a lot of repetition and apparent certainty. I've heard many people pick apart his arguments, but that doesn't bother him a bit when on a debate stage, he keeps to his script, and for easily convinced people, that can certainly sound convincing. It's quite easy to pick apart the Kalam Cosmical Argument, for example, but it is a bit technical - and if WLC takes the stage after you and just claims that you in fact DID NOT pick it apart, but rather it stands, "as you all can agree", well then it might just sound like he won the debate.

Nope. William Lane Craig justified mass child sl@ughter. No theist has evidence for any god, so there's no fear about debate with them lol

The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

where are you getting this sense of morality from? @@killerrabbit2693

ps. are you pro choice? @@killerrabbit2693

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

Or… more likely, he simply doesn't care to take the time to debate Craig and his philosophical bloviating because Dawkins recognizes that you can’t philosophize a god into existence with word salads and blatant assertions built on more blatant assertions, which has pretty much been the entire point of WLC’s career after he openly admitted that the only thing that convinced him was “the witness of holy spirit”, which holds no merit outside of Christian circles and certainly holds no merit in academia. Craig is a professional word twister, and that’s why Dawkins won’t debate him; all Craig has are arguments without evidence

@@loganleatherman7647 Surely you cannot read what you just wrote and not see the absurdity in it...

Well Richard is eight years older than Craig and he's getting weaker with age as everyone else. Second I think that arguing for deism (That there is an impersonal, meaningless intelligence holding the world together) and Christianity are two different things but they are often conflated and even if Dawkins has a hard time with some argument for deism it does not justify the teachings of Christianity but the audience would not necessarily see it that way. It is completely meaningless to me if I learn that there is a slothful intelligence behind the world's creation just like it was meaningless for ancient people not to know how the physics of gravity work. You cannot have a meaningful personal relationship with gravity or the law of thermodynamics or the way snowflakes are formed; those are simply explanations for banal things we see every day. Saying that there must be a God and even proving it is no different to me than proving that there must be some force keeping the blood pumping in my veins; it's nice to know but it ultimately won't change my philosophical outlook on life. The theory of blood circulation did not lead to new religions. As for the Christianity thing more specifically from an atheist perspective it's no different than arguing for the virtuousness of a guy called Bob who lives in his mother's basement and allegedly has a rich criminal history. Bob never shows up when questioned and it's always his mother at the door answering questions for him. If Bob is so powerful why does not he get off his butt and at least prove that he's not skeletonized or mummified in the basement? It's intellectual masturbation where one guy is arguing for the Occam's razor type of explanation and one is wasting his intelligence on endless excuses for Bob; in the end nothing is changed; some people will keep joining Christianity for social reasons and those who don't live out those emotional moments never will because normally nobody is intellectually convinced by Christianity but many are intellectually deconverted. Some of these theology people are very bright and it's such a waste to see their intelligence being used to defend Bob instead of contribute to humanity and unlike atheism Christianity in the west has a very long institutional tradition of coming up with clever defenses of Bob whereas in my country we only had freedom of religion in the 20th century and the protestant church still enjoys massive privileges where theology programs are basically clandestine apologetics to benefit the clergy. Imagine if atheism or maybe more specifically anti-Christianity had such a long and forceful as well as forced tradition. I would not be surprised if there are people who can argue Dawkins to bits. It still does not make Bob get off the couch and prove that he's alive much less justify his indolence. A superhuman alien species could land on earth right now and make an incredible argument for some complete nonsense that even our brightest philosophers could not refute because of their superhuman intelligence but that would not make the rubbish real.

​@@loganleatherman7647Dawkins is a coping coward

Although I'm not exactly sure why, if he doesn't believe in God, he spends so much of his time labouring on this subject. Probably because he makes money off having such a successful RU-vid channel. But really, if you don't believe in something, why spend so much time talking about it? There's plenty more to life that he could be enjoying spending time on. I'm a Christian man and, while I enjoy reading my Bible, praying, going to church and reading theology, I think Alex spends more time on God than I do!

@@user-kc7xk6wy2z when a scientist has a hypothesis, they don’t go find reasons that it works and call it good. The only way to gain confidence and be academically taken seriously is by attacking your own beliefs and trying honestly to disprove your own ideas. You do this by partly by honestly and rigorously studying counter arguments and alternative explanations. If he didn’t take the time to learn about opposing views so deeply, he wouldn’t be anywhere near as convincing and his arguments would be much weaker. I’d encourage you to try challenging some of your own deeply held beliefs as well, it’s very rewarding.

@@user-kc7xk6wy2z Alex has said before that he wants to be a Christian and that he is in a state of "non-resistant non-belief". Thus if God reveals himself to Alex, he would happily believe. To him, it's the hiddenness of God that makes him fairly sure that God does not exist.

@@euclid9492 Spot on. I struggle when I hear Christians and other theists talking about how their faith has been challenged. It nearly always seems to mean that they have had to work at convincing themselves they're on the right track. With good science, having your views challenged by evidence or reason is exactly what you're seeking. The first approach will always be far inferior to the second.

@@adriansims9770 that is one of the reasons I appreciate him. I have a Master of Divinity and an MA in Philosophy from a Southern Baptist seminary. It was when I wrote a paper on the Hiddenness of God that I realized how to explain what my real concerns about God were.

@user-sb3zm1cq8l Probably not. John Lennox largely just makes emotional appeals because Christianity makes him feel emotionally comforted and existentially secure. The vast majority of his arguments boil down to “I believe in God because I can’t/don’t want to imagine a universe without God”

Oh he wants to forget that

Lennox the goat herder ? wow, how could he forget?

Lennox is sort of the santa clause version, the soft voice trying to put a good face on a genocidal dictator. From those who are more capable of seeing through the marketing it's not exactly convincing. If God is real and sends Lennox to hell then Lennox must agree that it's the right thing to do. What a fantastic faith

I think we all want to forget the existence of John Lennox, a shameful chapter on humanity.

It's because dawkins would most definitely get schooled in that debate. It's so obvious if you followed the whole saga. He initially agreed to a debate and then declined amd gave a ridiculous reason at first. ''I was not aware of the debating style of craig when I agreed'' 😂😂

I've no idea who WLC is, but if Dawkins doesn't like him he's ok with me.

William Lane Craig justified mass child sla#hter, reason enough to not share a stage with that nimrod.

He did. Near the end he simply said he “doesn’t respect him”. ‘Nuff said 👍

That's exactly what he said

In what way is his manner pompous?

​@@Sentientfx1 You're joking? Dawkins is like the pompous guy out there.

So you're unable to pinpoint an example? This is what I'm getting at. You have a conclusion with no reasoning. @@t.d.2016

@@Sentientfx1 While I'm not especially interested in debating to what extent someone or another is arrogant, I will point out that t.d.'s sentiment is the exact one Dawkins leveraged against Craig. Similarly void of reasoning.

@@Sentientfx1 0:12 Who is your most formidable opponent on the God debate? "I don't think there are any." Sure, he uses rhetoric after to cover the fact that he is making an extremely arrogant/pompous statement, but that doesn't fix the arrogance. Then he doubles down on it saying that Craig has structured debate but that's all that's impressive, etc. Dawkins, in all his public lifespan, has always been a pompous, arrogant person. I'm not religious but I can't stand the dood.

God loves intelligent people like Alex. Take it from an ex Believer of over 50 years. There is no such thing as saved and unsaved souls. It’s all made up by the minds of know nothing, superstitious 1st century men.

​@@Bob.55 ...what...?

@@Richard_Nickerson Soul condemnation is a lie from the pits of hell( pun intended)

@@Bob.55 Souls are a lie

@@Richard_Nickerson Depends on your definition of soul. I just call what we have a part of the spirit of life and that woks for me. I don’t understand it and I have no need to. I am a bit of an odd duck sir. Kinda like a Cross between a Native American, a Jesus and an Albert Einstein. Carry on

😂Yeah, he's so good, he... "transcends" debate. 😂 Can you imagine if Craig took the same stance (no opposing arguments worth considering)? He'd never hear the end of it from the Dawkins crowd!

WLC is fundamentally flawed on objective moral values - as Alex has proven, a theist has no choice but to be a moral relativist regarding the Bible. There is a lot those people did, under what they believed was a divine mandate, is intolerable in our day and age

Or it could be that a belief based on unjustified belief is a bad argument? Would it be arrogant for a person who debated flat earthers to say there are no good arguments for a flat earth?

While I think it's wrong to avoid conversations, it's a simple fact that all major arguments for god are illogical and their logical errors have been explained to theists for years. So in that respect it's definitely true nobody has any compelling argument. I just think it's still worthwhile to keep having the discussion, as there are still millions left who haven't heard the reasons that believers' reasons for believing are illogical. As long as _some_ still have these conversations, that's important (at least until religious belief falls below 5-15% or something, where it's so irrelevant that debunking it isn't as important).

@@majmage Why do we have eyes? Ears? Teeth? An ass? Sperm? It's so we can see, hear, chew, shit and make babies. That my friend is by design. You atheists are the dumb ones, despite how smart you like to think you are.

Yes agree, but what would Dawkins bring that Hitchens, or Harris didn't?

@@adamnewsome2152 it’s hard to debate someone who believes in magic. What points did Craig make against Christopher Hitchens?

@@Navyfrog22 His version of the Kalam Cosmological Argument - basically everything must have a cause, so the universe must have a cause which is in itself causeless, and so that must be god because god doesn't have a cause (even though everything must have a cause). And then to stop the argument ceasing at Deism he makes this god a personal god because the wheels set in motion would lead to us (as if that even slightly matters). It's wall to wall bullshit. Hitchens struggled a little because his strengths are not in cosmology, but essentially beat him handedly by calling out the internal inconsistencies in WLC's claims.

@@Navyfrog22 If you really look at it, the claims he supports are even more extraordinary than magic. I'll only explain how if someone requests it. Otherwise, I don't feel like dropping a miniature essay in the comment section is a good idea in this context.

@@monikasmithsonian2985 Not really, they were all pretty easy lobs. Also, you can tell they're basically in agreement when Alex sniggers at the mention of some of the people they mention. If you think this was a serious interview, I believe you are mistaken. All it does, is show us what a cantankerous and intollerant individual Richard Dawkins really is.

​@gertstronkhorst2343 I disagree. You sound like you have a bias against Dawkins for some emotional reason. He's just a form of British that seems cantankerous. Not to mention the fact that he's stuck on the edge where evolutionary biology often conflicts with dogmatic religious fanatics. This is a frustrating place to find one's self if you're simply after truth, and you find yourself constantly running into people trying to stifle it.

@@Hstevenson69 He literally says he has contempt for people who don't agree with him. Surely you're not suggesting that there is one truth, that science only can uncover, are you? Also, calling me emotional is such a weak thing to do, such a feeble attempt to invalidate my opinions about this. Do you usually do that?

Then do not tell me this is not a sick cult with godless ass kissers and godless alone trash people that are so obsessed with what other believe and the reflection of other people believe. No respect for those sick godless people. For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS?

@@dkant4511 the gods come from nothing evidently

@@user-qg5zc1kf4f Read The Essence of Christianity by Ludwig Feuerbach. God is just a manmade concept. Haha it's the best our species bound by language and limited reason can do!

⁠@@user-qg5zc1kf4fI’ll bite. In the Christian belief, God doesn’t “come from” anything. God is a preexisting entity unbound by our observations of the constraints of space and time, as, of course, a creator of said concepts. God always has, and always will exist, the beginning and the end. As for why I believe, it’s ultimately personal. I did grow up in a Christian home, so you might discount my beliefs entirely, but over time, I did my own study into the subject. I found that, in reading the Bible and in meditative prayer, I would feel a divine peace come over me. There were times additionally where I felt a stirring in my heart for something greater, and God was there. Whether you believe or not is your own choice, ultimately. However, I would encourage you to explore the religion for what it truly is, asking theologians and priest questions to obtain a fuller understanding of the belief system rather than the views of exclusively other atheists. As a Christian, it is well worth it for me to understand my own beliefs deeper by seeing atheist critiques, and I believe it has only made me a more devout believer. Either way, God bless, and have a fantastic day.

Using formal logic does not prevent one from talking nonsense. A skilled sophist will happily couch an unsound argument in seemingly valid terms.

@alk7393 “A skilled sophist will happily couch an unsound argument in seemingly valid terms.” WLC’s career in a nutshell. He even knows that there’s no convincing evidence for God so he relies on argumentation to “prove” that God exists, which I’m sure he’s aware that you can’t philosophize God into existence. God either exists or doesn’t exist, and no amount of philosophical arguments will change whichever one of those is true

It's not challenging, his "logic" lacks evidence, and it's utterly unconvincing to anyone who works with evidence. WLC is as empty handed as any Muslim or Jewish scholar. It doesn't matter that they took a book report too seriously, it lacks evidence.

​@@subhuman3408How exactly do you expect to have a "piece of God"? God itself is a logical concept. You need a beginning powerful, independent enough to make reality. That's it.

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

Agreed. As a Christian, I'm stoked at the idea of such a debate. They're not getting any younger though. 😟⌛🕙

He’s afraid of WLC and will never debate him in public.

I doubt WLC is anywhere near the best Christian apologist.

It's funny because it's how easily Dawkins and the rest of the new atheists absurd arguments are shown to be fallacious or poorly designed. Dawkins flat out can't debate or produce compelling arguments for his position. That's why he has said he won't debate and says there is no evidence that could ever make him a Theist. He is willingly ignorant. Peter atkins and others have said the exact same thing. This is why the new Atheists have faded into obscurity they are irrelevant.

Dawkins saying that he has so much contempt for Craig that he couldn't stand to be in the same room with him, (even though Craig is one of the friendliest and most cordial debaters out there)---that had me dying, too! I smell fear from Dawkins. Yes, Sir Richard is a scaredy-cat.

@@aaronstypes4083 Imagine he had to debate David Bentley Hart. Hart would absolutely eviscerate Dawkins🤣

Sad how feeble old Dawkins is!

@@orangemanbad lol they showed his face as he was present for John Lennoxs' speech on why God must exist at Oxford around a year ago and he looked so old mad and bitter for literally no reason just sitting in the audience it was almost hilarious.

The guy has a theology degree from Oxford and thinks original sin is merely inherited guilt though.

The guy has a theology degree from Oxford and thinks original sin is merely inherited guilt though.

​@@silent_shoutIn Orthodox Christianity(Easteren Orthodoxy) ,the consider the original sin as ancestral sin(the plague of sin being past by generation) so his idea is not so far fetched.

But he is still a better “Stand-In” for the side of Christianity than most layperson Christians. Facts are facts, and beliefs can only alter the perception of facts.

I like how our side is always expected to be cordial, respectful, and accommodating. Meanwhile, Christians routinely threaten us with eternal torture. 🙄

Hmm, OK, but TGD isn't especially convincing. RD is wrong on his 'if God made man, who made God' argument'. What I find unconvincing about Christianity is the absurdity of the atonement.

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

And bound for hell by rejecting what God said. You are saved when you believe and take God at his word. Believing your creator and accepting his free gift of redemption is true freedom.

I'm no theologian, but I don't think Dawkins means Christians should say it never happened if they actually believe it did. I think he may interpret these Biblical stories as simply stories, not intended to be taken as true. I was never a believer, but I was brought up in the UK so am most familiar with the C of E that Richard Dawkins was brought up in, and which is the least dogmatic set of beliefs I know of!

How about “we know this isn’t true, from Jewish mythologists, historians and archaeologists, so we can ignore the ridiculous claims up until at least King David.” That’s honest and supported by all the evidence ever encountered, so without invoking one’s lack of respect for the believer, can it be pointed out that the beliefs, themselves, deserve no respect?

Many Christians do not hold to the veracity of the OT as a historical text. First and foremost because many of the books are demonstrably not intended as historical text. E.g: WLC does not take the OT as historical text (or at least not in its entirety), highlighting in particular the start of Genesis as "Clearly False" if taken literally.

Your strawman fools no one.

Then do not tell me this is not a sick cult with godless ass kissers and godless alone trash people that are so obsessed with what other believe and the reflection of other people believe. No respect for those sick godless people. For Real? What kind of stupid empty cult is this nothing offer nothing gives, but empty BS? As God really cares about what you think and your stupid philosophy empty words as godless alone trash person (anyone who deny God is a godless alone trash person)… Another reason none can respect you, you are a lier as any modern Goddenier.. And we hope the next generation will be better then you and forget about you and your empty stupid worthless atheism not even worst to clean my ass. … you are just empty like it. Then why only godless alone trash people are obsessed with hell, while we are not? Another reason to do not be like them, and live with this constantly fear… What idiots! For really you did not get those empty Videos where godless alone people constantly talk about God, showing their obsession, are made not to help anyhow your godless alone life but to trap you into this empty stupid cult called atheism they know we live in the time of stupidity and godless trash people so they need to capture them as more as they can.

I disagree. I think the theistic debater claims to know the type of universe we live in, but they have no basis of actually knowing. On that front, both debaters are in the same boat. No one actually knows.

“Knows” is a strong word. 🤣

You say you don’t know what type of universe we’re in. And that you don’t have all the pieces to the puzzle. Then the moment someone hypothesizes a casual creator you deny it with impolite certainty.

Real philosophers ignore the people you named as amateur dabblers.

​@@lightbearer313 real philosophers (that is, analytical philosophers) ignore Dawkins...

​@@lightbearer313 >Dawkins >Real philosophy LMAOO

The joke is that those fine tuning arguments are failing because it is based on a model (the Λ-CDM model) that is falling apart.

Fine tuning? Like God's perfect creation having an immune system that can target its OWN host? Bloody fantastic work These types of arguments come from people who say god does things perfectly as well. The idiot didn't even succeed with his little Eden project, even though he knows the outcome before it even occurs. Derp.

Based on what Dawkins said, it seems he doesn't respect William Craig and so why debate him? It's not like Craig is some kind of genius debater - Dawkins is not afraid of him he just doesn't want to waste his time.

Why not? you dont have debates to make friends, but to make points for those watching. he's debated people he doesn't respect before, but suddenly craig is offlimits? i smell bullshit@@davidmiles6845

Maybe debate him to disprove him? If you're so confident and sure of your beliefs, you shouldn't back out in any case. You should show the problem. Which he isn't doing, because he can't.

Dawkins has trouble with debating with anyone with more than a passing knowledge of the arguments.

@@davidmiles6845 not "respecting" your opponent is not viewed as an excuse for not taking on an opponent in any sport, why should it be an excuse in debating?

Alex is wonderful. Great respect for him as he always engages kindly with the other side. Frankly, this is my opinion of Dawkins: he is putting on a facade of humility. Personalities clash, but Craig & Alex have had great conversations, while Dawkins true pride becomes clear. He apparently doesn’t “respect” Craig enough to debate him, but unless someone is an obnoxious jerk who interrupts and gets angry, there isn’t really a reason to have even a discussion! Dawkins comes off as arrogant by claiming Craig speaks pompously, when in fact, he does the exact same thing! “Premise 1” is part of breaking down an argument! So imo, this is just showcasing the arrogance of Dawkins feeling “better” than Craig, who’s purportedly not “worth his time.” 😒

What's WLC's best piece of evidence/ argument for the existence of any god...

@@mram03 You missed the part where WLC justified mass slaughter along with mass child slaughter....

He’s pretending on this issue as well, because he will debate any Christian that clearly lacks debate skills or education. He’s like a boxer that has a high win average because he purposely picks less skilled boxers to fight. To act as if it’s because he’s too smart to debate anyone on this topic is clearly false, he’s done it his entire career.

@@silent_shout What a load of nonsense. It’s not a game Dawkins is playing! He doesn’t care about ‘winning’ debates. He cares about the truth, is a passionate advocate for reason and cares about the damage fundamentalist religion does.

I'm an atheist, so I disagree with Craig, but he is a trained academic philosopher, whereas Dawkins is not.

Just like it didn’t go well for Craig when he debated actual historians or cosmologists where his naive intuitions aren’t considered to be evidence. Craig should debate Dawkins about the historicity of Adam and Eve… where his only argument would be that scientists are biased against the supernatural.😂

@@richarddoan9172 That's exactly why Dawkins should accept a debate with WLC instead of avoiding him. Dawkins' philosophy is amateur and he's completely oblivious to it. Why not have Dawkins defend his position from one of the best philosophers and debaters alive? It seems like that would be the academically honest thing to do.

I do think Alex was going easy on Craig those two times. Craig brings nothing interesting to the table.

I don’t think how either of them think. Thinking in black & white is childlike. Religion is your answer…

Dawkins voice is the opposite of pompous, but rather controlled and sophisticated. Try again.

@@newnoggin2 your arrogance precedes you…

@@toucheturtle3840 not sure what you mean by that

Low Bar Bill's lack of knowledge on cosmology was exposed by Sean Carroll. Doesn't seem to stop him using the same arguments though.

as i said earlier god is so big he doesn’t have to exist! think about it!

Of course they can, you can be willingly ignorant based on worldview conviction. This is a pretty obvious thing... As Dawkins has said there is no evidence that would ever convince him of being a Theist. That is willful ignorance.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Being willingly ignorant (as almost all religious people are) is obviously very common. But that is unrelated to whether someone can choose to be convinced or some claim. It's easy to demonstrate that someone (including you) cannnot just choose to believe something. Could you choose to believe the moon was made of cheese? Of "no", then why not? What if you try really really hard to believe it. Then can you? I'd need to know the full context of Dawkin's comment, and what his EXACT words. In "The God Delusion", he said the opposite of what you assert, so I'm skeptical of your claim. Are you sure he didn't say that he doesn't believe there is any evidence that COULD convince him, because if so, then that is just him offering an honest opinion of the existance of sufficient evidence. I also don't believe there exists any evidence that COULD convince me, but if I am ever exposed to sufficient evidence to convince me, then (by definition) I will be convinced. While I got your attention, let me ask if you have any convincing evidence that one or more gods exist?

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep Look into Doxastic voluntarism and involuntarism, direct Doxastic voluntarism fails while indirect works.

I think the idea is that God is outside of morality. All good and bad things come from god.

@@mikehochburns8740 This makes God anything, I mean it’s problematic because we cannot start to define God in any sense because He is “outside” of well… everything and therefore makes this whole thing illogical and mythical. Btw I’m not an atheist I am a theist, but I’m merely pointing out an issue here. Also, if we suggest that both good and evil/bad of any sort is from God, than well He possesses these as qualities within him, as if he were a character, he designed the evil to occur in which case being called “good” falls short in meaning; it doesn’t live up the the notion of the “maximally greatest possible being,” given that if such a being exist He must be superior to the human rational mind not inferior.

That doesn't prove Dawkins is wrong though. Anyone with great oral skills can win a debate. It's not good method to get to truth.

You are right but what I am driving at is that Dawkins doesn't reason like a philosopher. His arguments are never logically consistent, that's why he's scared to debate anyone with philosophical training or practice.

@@bolawilson1607 How can Dawkins reason like a philosopher if he isn't a professional philosopher? He thinks like a scientist though and will never give credence to speculations and arguments which lack scentific evidence.

@@bolawilson1607 Dawkins doesn’t care about philosophical arguments… he cares about verifiable evidence. Most philosophers are Atheists so maybe those unverifiable arguments for the existence of gods simply aren’t good enough to convince the experts.😉

⁠@@bolawilson1607But then the question becomes ”should he”? I would agree that philosophy got it’s place in the world, and especially in a religious context, but Dawkins oppose a different branch of religious claims than what you usually hear comming from WLC, which I would say is perfectly fine.

Amen bro… ask God to reveal himself to you!

Agreed… ask God to reveal himself to you!

@@adam.fedale1370 I'm quite certain God is too shy for that to happen, but I can understand.. I'm shy myself.

@@raqktranjanGod is not shy. If demons tremble at the name of Jesus, He definitely isnt shy of a human 👍. If you truly want to have a relationship with him, you can.

@@marcocortes9968 That might be the most weird argument I have ever heard.. By religion I'm a Hindu, I'm allowed and even encouraged to doubt The existence and even the teachings of God(btw, people might think we have a lots of gods, but it is not that simple) . Ofc we can have a relationship with God if we want as a abstract being inside ourself.. Like a hope giving mechanism.. And btw, shy thing was a sarcastic comment, by which I have tried to imply that there's no way God's coming out, even though, he does, by which sense organ are we gonna sense him (I'm here talking about the Abrahamic God here)? Will he even be emperical? 😅

😂😂😂

You’re not used to the accent, hick.

he is not pompous by any means.. he just has a cetain british accent. but the man is never been pompous... you must not follow him

This is just the way many older educated Brits speak. Plus he always weighs his words very carefully. You must be American to confuse his accent with pompousness.

@@kellydalstok8900 I am well acquainted with both many Brits and Dawkins' public speaking. I say again without hesitation that he is among the most pompous "public intellectuals" I know

Whats your definition for good?

Not at all. Dawkins uses actual logic, instead of pompous word salads. Asking an aggressive "intellectual" beliver is like asking an AI robot. You get lots of words out of it, but if you know the slightest about the subject you can immediately see that it isn't even internally coherent.

Which you've obviously not watched

@@ManForToday youre a failure.

@@ManForTodayCraig believes in an old earth and believes Adam and Eve were historical figures in the distant past. Based on current science he suspects them to be homo heidelbergensis (early himinins) that lived around 700.000 years ago. These stories in the old testament of the distant past like Genesis 1-11 - Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Genesis 6 Sons of God, Henoch, Noah's flood, tower of Babel and such he interprets as mytho-history - the people in these stories are historical persons that really lived, but the stories are clothed in mythological motifs as was common practice in ancient Mesopotamian literature such as the Sumerian kings list in which the kings are real people, but the reigns of thousands of years are obviously mythological.

Who?😂

So, evil is objective only if God exists? But, is evil evil because God thinks so, or does God find evil evil because it is evil? (just riffing on Eutyphro). Anyway, there is no particular reason why evil should be metaphysically objective. It's not like people are evil only when they think there is no divine punishment. Plenty of evil has been done in the name of some 'objective' good (by theists and atheists alike).

@@gedonckers you tell me. what is evil?

@@bethezebra I'll give you three secular views: 1) evil is intentional causing of harm, 2) evil is acting against moral law, 3) evil is acting viciously (where vices are defined as traits of character that are at the extremes - cowardice, injustice, etc). These are just three prominent views - utilitarian, kant's and aristotles. There are many others. E.g. you can check out Dancy's 'Ethics without principles'.

Not really. Actively saying "I believe in X" is not the same as "I cant rule out X". For all I know, theres a flying pig underground on mars. From a science perspective, we arent really gonna consider that, because its not testable. And deism here isnt testable, so its not worth considering. If someone were to believe in something without sufficient evidence, thats where the logic is faulty

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

Debating on whether or not there is a god and debating what that god is are 2 different debates. Apologists wouldn’t bother to add a whole extra argument into a debate that doesn’t ask for it

@@TEFFTPATTERN But apologists wants us to convert to their specific religion. So they are required to give an argument exclusive to their religion.

Agreed. I don't really have an issue with some sort of transcendent first cause. But how on Earth are you supposed to know it's the Christian God?

WLC is explicitly against pre-suppositonailism because it’s circular logic.

If you agree to debate someone and during the debate you change the rules don't be shocked the other person lost their temper.

There are top notch scientists who believe in a higher power and not necessarily Yahweh.

@mitchjames9350 So what? Lots of intellectual people still need a refuge for their emotional comfort and/or existential security. This is just a human blind spot and says nothing of any actual truth of the matter outside of theism being useful for emotional comfort and/or existential security

​@@loganleatherman7647Scientists (and you seem to love science) ten times smarter than you come to a conclusion and you dismiss it with your absolute certainty about what religion is about. Your display is a thorough example of cognitive bias no matter how much you lots pretend to embrace rationality.

What he said was more: I have still not heard a good argument for the existence of God.

Present any evidence for your god.

You've got it all exactly correct.

boom, mic drop.

He doesn't have anything to offer apart from materialism because he is a biologist....perhaps he should never really gone into religious wars! In everyday life biology has life and death consequences as opposed to philosophy/religion/God.

If Christianity were real, no debates would be necessary

@@prykrispeople debate evolution... does that make it not real?

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

A pioneer in bad arguments and criticizing thinkers he hasn't even read?

@@suntzu7727 absolutely

He is, but Alex sure does talk over him a lot in this video.

Pioneer of what, exactly? Do you believe he came up with any new arguments for atheism? I can tell you he didn't. Not only that he didn't even read the Bible to check his "facts"

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

Dawkins only has faith in evolution because he is a deeply closeted homosexual

well WLC was thoroughly flushed out by Mr. Christopher Hitchens, you can refer to that, there is no point in arguing with moronic religious nutters but it must be done when necessary

Well he did attempt to hide it but Alex pushed it out of him by the end.

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

I really don't think that's his 'honest' reason for not debating him. My two cents is he's hiding behind his feigned indignation

That’s the real problem though. God simply can’t be “all good”, as most modern Christians claim him to be, and also order the brutal killing of a whole tribe of people when he himself is supposedly omnipotent and could just make them disappear or painlessly disintegrate or whatever instead of being slaughtered The fact that “God” doesn’t think of better ways to do things is what makes me think that “God’s mind” is rather that of some 2,000 B.C.E. - 500 C.E. men who only knew what their particular period in history on their particular patch of the earth held as worldviews and facts about reality

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get my justice

Alex is a legend and Dawkins is lucky to sit with him 😉

We all know, the only reason he won't debate Craig is because he knows he would lose. Let's stop pretending.

I agree. It’s all about who would gain status. Dawkins was smart not to allow WLC to gain status at his expense.

@@pauliethemushroomman Well it would certainly have been at his expense, at any rate.

You Christians are funny....Craig has been laughed at since his pathetic debate with Sean Carroll concerning his goofy Monologues on his preferred version of invisible supernatural super being creating the galactic universe creation style. Why debate a propagandist paid by certain "Institutions" to repeat arguments that are outrageously weak. Maybe a confirmation biased Christian thinks Craig's stuff is profound.... Philosophical mumbo jumbo isn't "empirical material testable verifiable FACTS" and I wished you religious indoctrinated would stop acting like philosophical mumbo jumbo is something convincing - especially to educated adults that actually have read more than just one book. I totally agree with Richard Dawkins. There's nothing interesting or actually profound coming from evangelical propagandist William Lame Craig. Accept of course you are already convinced that your specific version of invisible supernatural super being is the one that created Crohn's disease, spontaneous natural abortions causing billions of spontaneous natural abortions and miscarriages....and other great creations like wisdom teeth or Proteus syndrome....

​@@homeskillet9802😂😂😂😂

Completely in character fro Dawkins, Dawkins is arrogant and full of himself, Craig couldnt be a more decent person. Always respectful, it is Dawkins who deep down knows he would get smashed in front of a live audience.

@@gsp3428 You can't be a decent person and believe the things craig believes in sadly.

Out of character? To be fair, Dawkins has openly called for ridicule over debate with Christians.

He didn’t like the morals of the dude nothing wrong with that … thats why he don’t wanna debate the dude

I've personally always found him to be the most arrogant debater of our time, so him saying WLC sounds "pompus" is the pinacle of irony

That’s the very definition of a fool.

That's likely actually the case. 😂

​@@omnipop4936 probably ❤

He's too young to use bed head as a ' look .'

No, I don't remember that, because it is highly doubtful that that happened. If people did laugh, it was with him not at him.

Amen!

You should focus on the arguments and logic proposed. Not the person. Belief in an undetectable being is bonkers, and how anyone believes in such things after childhood is beyond me.

@@killerrabbit2693 I do. Dawkins doesn't make any. That's why Alex is so compelling.

@@seedofwonder You don't. Dawkins has explained in detail why baseless belief has no place in grown up thinking. No one should focus on who's making the argument, just the argument.

Tell me u have never heard wlc speak without telling me uve never heard him speak He very clearly says that other religions, he specified Islam in that particular debate, they don't have even close to the amount of evidence Christianity does To compare the enormous amount of evidence for Christianity with any other religion, u would have to be brain-dead I didn't even make such arguments when I was an atheist 😂

You’re an idiot stop commenting please

I'm sorry but please cite where WLC claims/indicates that he would have been Muslim or another religion if they got to him first. That does not at all align with his personal testimony, his doctorate studies, nor his catalogue of authored books, speeches, debates, and so on. One of WLC biggest theological claims is the shock and extensive evidence he found for Jesus' death and resurrections while doing his doctorate studies. The Quran denies Christs death on the cross and resurrections - two claims that WLC defends vigorously and claims have strong historical evidence among both believers and non-believers. This does not sound like a man who based his decision on a first come first serve basis or implied odds but I am willing to be corrected here.

@@ultracrepiderian If I remember correctly, that particular instance was from a podcast, not from a debate. Same podcast where he mentions that he lowers the bar for Christianity, which you conveniently chose not to address. I've heard WLC speak plenty of times and I was not comparing the evidence of one religion vs another. I was addressing two rather weak arguments by WLC.

You might find it helpful to listen to WLC’s follow up responses after he made those particular remarks you’re referencing. I felt it provided sufficient clarification. I’d shy away from viewing only rationally rules content on the matter. Best to hear from the direct source. WLC most certainly has not admitted he’d just as likely believe any of the other religions you mentioned had he had exposure to them first. If he has, provide sources.

How gullible you are. Craig's dishonesty is palpable, and his arrogant pomposity disgusting. He couldn't "critique" anything intelligently if his life depended on it, and his "sophistication" is on a kindergarden level. As for logical fallacies --- Craig's have been exposed time and again. His smarmy recycling of the medieval Islamic Kallam is laughable. Even Christian theologians in the middle ages knew it was idiotic.

So, what are these" logical fallacies"? Do you know that sophistication is a very peculiar term, and one of its meanings is 'to be corrupted'?

@@lightbearer313 Groan! Go to the nearest university and find any trained logician or philosopher. They will probably never have heard of Craig. Show them Craig's ramshackle, flatulant, "syllogism" and they will laugh in your face. Craig is not a philosopher or a thinker or anything even remotely resembling an expert on anything. He survives only in the echo chamber of gullible and naive religious fanatics.

@@lightbearer313 "So, what are these" logical fallacies"?" Dawkins has been widely criticized by his own side even the likes of sam harris and the press for his excuses to not debate craig. He has been accused of not being an intellectual and willing to debate. Other sources have said he was really embarrased after his debate with John Lennox and his performance there. Other sources have indicated he will not debate another philosopher because he knows he is really weak in philosophy, constructing logical arguments based on premises and conclusions that logically follow. Its embarrasing to him. One example of a logical fallacy he loves to use is when he accuses people of only believing in a religion because of where they were born and how they were raised. To conclude someones belief is false because of how they came to that belief would be the genetic fallacy.

Well, but anyone can just say they find their opponent despicable and avoid debating. What if it were reversed and WLC refused to debate Dawkins because he considered Dawkins despicable (for reasons x, y and z)? Is that really what we want? Secondly, if Dawkins, as you say, "seems really convinced that it's impossible for the other side to find good arguments", then it would presumably be a total walk in the park for Dawkins - and a great opportunity to rack up an easy victory against one of the most prominent sufferers of the "delusion" he writes about, and by doing so, free many others of the same delusions. Why not go for it?

Richard Dawkins molested me and i will not rest till i get justice

Tbf, you would think Dawkins was describing Hitler. No one listening to WLC would ever think he was abhorrent. Dawkins is literally the only one making this case

​@@omnipop4936 1) He is under no obligation to debate anyone. No one is. 2) Brandolini's Law applies.

​@@prosperitynuggets You speak for everyone? How did you get that job?

Dawkins is giving me a mature Clint Eastwood vibe from my perspective....'>.....

Did you even watch the video?

​@@Clyde-6 I believe he is referring to several comments

Craig is a sophist, his arguments are lacking and baseless, essencially they are just as bad as any theists you happen to speak to randomly. The difference is that Craig can articulate them better and somewhat hide where the flaws are in his thinking. I mean not from anyone that has any shred of critical thinking skills, but from the average theists. And he's dishonest too, seen countless times when someone pointed out the obvious logical fallacy in his reasoning during a debate. And later on he just used yet again the same argument in the same fashion. He doesn't care about the truth, he just intrested in obfuscating enaugh that his audience can justify remaining religious.

Craig isn't a sophist because I disagree with his views. He's a sophist because he makes sophistic arguments. In his debate with Sean Carroll, Craig argued that if the universe can simply pop into being, why not bicycles too? Yes, that's right - he asked why don't fucking BICYCLES pop into existence in front of us and thought that was a valid rebuttal to Carroll's argument about the scientific origins of the universe. That is textbook sophistry.

@@gustavoafragoso Name calling? That's the best you can do? No wonder you find Craig appealing. Either give a substantive response explaining how I'm wrong, or don't comment at all. You waste everyone's time, including your own.

Religion and philosophy are two separate spheres - philosophy is concerned with truth, religion with story-making.

​@@lightbearer313you sound very dogmatic, many atheists are very afraid of the notion that their belief system may be mistaken and therefore are very reluctant to engage intellectually with opposing arguments, instead they usually employ adhominem attacks like you yourself have just done.
