God and the Moment of Creation
I’m an undergraduate philosophy student, and I have a question about your theory that God is in time with creation and timeless sans creation. While this view seems to be internally coherent, I’m struggling to identify a strong motivation to accept this po...

God’s Decision and Act of Creation
Dr. Craig, in your discussions about God's creation of the universe, you argue that God's act of creation is a timeless event that brings about the beginning of time itself. However, if God’s decision to create is eternal and timeless, doesn&rsqu...

Does God Specially Create Every Human being?

The Sabbath Day and Mytho-History
Dr. Craig, How do you reconcile what you believe about MythoHistory with these verses: "And God spoke all these words...Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord ...

God’s Self-Existence Concocted?
