Dawkins Debate

Dear Dr Craig, Well done you for going through that horrendous charade in Mexico and staying professional! You must have been cringing at all the needless technology and effects - not to mention the whole "boxing" theme! You kept your focus and integrity, how...

Is Life Absurd without God?

Dr. Craig, Though I respect you as one of today's most rational Christian thinkers, I passionately disagree with your assertion that life without God is absurd. The arguments you proffer to support this are quite superficial, and it is unfortunate that in...

So Many Atheists, So Little Time!

Dr. Craig, I attend Louisiana State University and I am a student worker at our school's library. Of all the people I work with, half are agnostic and the other half are atheists. I became a born again Christian a little over a year ago after five years of...

Barabbas

Hi Dr. Craig, As I am sure you remember, in your debate with Richard Carrier (video/audio), he brought up the point about Barabbas possibly being a literary creation of Mark because of the name’s meaning as well as the possible parable to the Jewish pra...

Past and Future in the Kalam Cosmological Argument

Dr. Craig, When you came to our school last March to debate Richard Carrier, our philosophy professor Richard Field intended to speak with you about the kalam cosmological argument. He never had the opportunity to have that discussion with you, but he recentl...

Information Overload in Weighing Atheism vs Theism

Hi Dr Craig, May I first say how inspiring your work has been to me, your clear, methodical approach to logic and evidence is admirable. It's amazing how many times I have witnessed your opponents in debates resort to muddling the conversation, switching ...

Does the Ontological Argument Beg the Question?

Dear Dr. Craig, As I Christian, I would first like to thank you for your work! It is extremely refreshing to see such a solid defense of Christianity in our pluralistic, secular world. My question is about Platinga's modal ontological argument which you u...

Dear Dr. Craig, Thank you for the ongoing work you and your team do at Reasonable Faith. It has been deeply meaningful to me and has brought me closer to Christ in my search for truth. I had a question regarding the distinction between nonbelief and disbelie...

Why Depress People?

Dear Dr Craig I'm not a Christian myself, but find Christian theology to be interesting and your defence particularly interesting. I've heard you mention on numerous occasions that you believe a life without God is absurd, meaningless, pointless etc....

The Moral Argument—One More Time!

Dear Dr. Craig, I am a former Christian in large part because apologetics (from my perspective) has failed to provide adequate explanations to the objections commonly raised against theism, and especially Christianity in particular. For this submission, I wo...

Dear Dr. Craig: For nearly 20 years ago I have ruminated on a personal experience I had with you and your wonderful wife, Jan, in San Francisco. In an act of kindness, you agreed to have dinner with me during a theology conference you were attending.  I...

Faith Supported by Evidence

Dear Dr Craig, In many conversations with atheists and agnostics, they insist that "faith" means "belief without evidence". Virtually every atheist I've known defines faith in that way. It is like a axiom in the atheistic and infidel communities and it ...
