Yet none of his debate opponents, all of which more intelligent and informed than you, have ever been able to conclusively refute his arguments. What does that tell you?

I don't know that all of Craig's debate opponents are more intelligent and better informed than I am. That may be the case but I don't know how many people Craig has argued with or what their capabilities are. I rather doubt that no one can "conclusively refute his arguments" since what he says is really stupid and dishonest. WL Craig seems to think his fine tuning argument is a winner but it's crap. You can watch the debate Craig had with Sean Carroll, a real physicist who points out why it's shit.

Craig's purpose is to talk shit and impress the yokels at debates like the one at Biola with Hitchens. The task of his opponents is to tell the truth and refute his patently stupid points. That's not so easy since Craig employs the Gish Gallop, named after the late Creationist liar Duane Gish. In the Gish Gallop a Creationist makes several pronouncements and proclaims them irrefutably true. The rationalist opponent needs time to demonstrate that those points are shit and that takes time and is boring.

You also either misinterpreted or purposefully misrepresented Craig about Saint Augustine.

Nope, Craig is the one who did that. Craig lied when he says that the Theory of Evolution is irrelevant to theism. No it's not.

I’ve seen it. Carroll didn’t actually refute a single one of Craig’s arguments and spent most of the debate using non-sequiturs and thus lost the debate.
