Physicists & Philosophers Reply to the Kalam Cosmological Argument (Pt I)
Will Dr Craig at any time respond to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGKe6YzHiME? There is so much in there that is way above my understanding, although a lot of it 'feels' just obfuscation and unprovable. Paul

The Culpability of Unbelief
I have some comments on Mr. Craig’s answer to Question of the Week #728. From within the Christian point of view, it is not possible that someone be presented with the Holy Spirit, the Gospel, and Jesus and fail to be convinced of its truth, unless one s...

Meaninglessness and Evangelism
Why do you try to persuade nonbelievers that naturalism is unlivable and depressing when you argue that non-Christians will be eternally tormented for not believing in the right kind of god? I'm not asking you why it's just for nonbelievers to be torme...

Living with Naturalism
Hi Dr. Craig, I hope you and your family are well. As an atheist, I am not particularly familiar with Christianity but have watched many of your speeches and debates out of interest and curiosity. So far, I think you have made an intellectually compelling cas...

Questions from a Sceptical Seeker
Dear Dr. Craig, Listening to your conversation with Alex O’Connor was really eye-opening for me. In it, Alex raised many of the objections to the Kalam Cosmological Argument which I had previously seen as defeating, only to have you classily deconstruct...

Plantinga’s EAAN Once More
Dr. Craig, I need help with Alvin Plantinga's evolutionary argument against naturalism. Since I discovered it, I fell in love with the argument; the idea that "it is irrational to believe in naturalism, whether it is true or not" left me shocked. However,...

God as the Ground of Morality

Does the KCA Yield a Metaphysically Necessary Being?
Hello. I have a question about the conceptual analysis in the Kalam. Do you get that the cause is a necessary being? If you do then that opens up room to argue from possible causes. Possibly the universe began to exist, so possibly there is a cause. If you get...

Should a Puddle be Surprised it Exists? Should We?
Recently, I have run across arguments by atheists that say that the universe is not fine-tuned for life, but life is fine tuned to the universe and they describe this in the "puddle" analogy (which I'm sure you are aware of). I searched your website for so...

So You Think the Ontological Argument Is Irrelevant?
Dr. Craig, I would like to start by stating how incredibly thankful I am for you and your work in natural theology. It was through watching your several debates with atheists, during a particularly difficult time in my life, that I came to believe wholehearte...
