WL Craig is a liar and an ignoramus. His arguments are bullshit.1. Evolution is irrelevant to theism. No it isn't. There are plenty of theists who would strongly deny that humans are cousins to apes, pigs, horses and other creatures. The opposition to evolutionary theory is exclusively religious although Creationists like to lie about it. 2. Saint Augustine of Hippo believed that our planet was much older than a few thousand years old. No, Augustine was very much a young-earther. 3. Some WL Craig bullshit about the extreme unlikelihood of the human genome evolving. Some 61 people are right now looking at the Politics board. Going back 16 centuries to Augustine's time, say 80 matrilineal generations, the probability that all 61 would exist today is astonishingly small. After all, each proper sperm would have to unite with the proper egg at the proper time for many generations. If otherwise, our distant ancestors would never have been born and we would not exist. It's a miracle, no? No it isn't. If we didn't exist then somebody else would exist to argue this nonsense. Similarly, human beings would not exist today if any of our ancestors from the Cambrian to the present had done something different. However, other creatures would have evolved and some would like human. 4. Fine tuning. More deceptive BS from a professional liar. 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? You also either misinterpreted or purposefully misrepresented Craig about Saint Augustine. I'm curious what you think a "conclusive" refutation of a made up entity which can be defined and redefined ad infinitum and as needed would actually look like.
I challenge you to refute the existence of, say, Santa Claus or elves. I can rebut any argument you might have thus making all your refutations "inconclusive." Would my ability to make up stuff about Santa, elves or any other imaginary things to counter every argument against their existence get anyone closer to affirming Santa Claus or elves exist? Note that EVERYTHING about God is made up and is malleable.
