Craig Debates

So if you haven't picked up on this yet, I'm a pretty big fan of William Lane Craig. I've been reading Reasonable Faith over the Christmas break and I have enjoyed it thoroughly thus far. FYI, Craig has some debates with some prominent atheists (Richard Carrier, Quentin Smith, Christopher Hitchens) coming up. The Philosophy Foosball Club might need to take a field trip.

Is Our Culture Post-Modern?

William Lane Craig doesn't think so.

ID Debate Anyone?

This is a gooder. I love Berlinski's opening remarks. Too funny.




I think we will need more posts about Berlinski in the future.
