William Lane Craig Has a Pop at Me and Appears to Miss

As many of you might know, one of my most recent books was Did God Create the Universe from Nothing?: Countering William Lane Craig's Kalam Cosmological Argument (UK here). The book is a refutation of (Craig's use of) the Kalam Cosmological Argument. In it, I have

Given C. Peterson's contribution to the blog yesterday, I thought I would extend the conversation by reposting an old chat I had with Counter Apologist and Justin Schieber, where we ruminated on the problem of evil, it defence in skeptical theism, and all manner of things thereabouts. Have

Me, Justin Schieber and Counter Apologist: Evidential Problem of Evil

Check out this high-brow threesome we did some time back. Would love to do another if I got time. I was really pleased to know that this video played an important role in deconverting someone fairly recently.

Good Skeptical Theism links

Skeptical Theism is an approach to the problem of evil that states that we just Index)can't know the mind of God; that such infinite minds are so far beyond our ken that we couldn't possibly conceive as to why such evil exists in the world.

Counter Apologist's riposte to William Lane Craig on the Kalam

Counter Apologist has produced an awesome series detailing issues with William Lane Craig's Kalam Cosmological Argument, which is a pet obsession of mine. This must have succeeded enough, since it warranted a response from Craig himself. Here is Counter's response to Craig.

Craig and the Kalam (and relativity): Vincent Torley vs Counter Apologist... CA wins.

So in my post, the Part 2 of why Vincent Torley is a Christian, Vincent called into question some of Counter Apologist's work undermining William Lane Craig's use of science and metaphysics to try to show that the A-Theory of time is true or that the B-Theory is false. Craig's case is this:

Why I am an Atheist

Randal Rauser, with whom I have had a radio debate about the Nativity, is running a series on his blog asking atheists why they are atheist (or not Christian).
