Hello, Dr. Craig. My name is Cody and I'm a sophomore in high school here in North Carolina. I have been raised in a Christian environment all of my life and until last summer, I had never gone through such a spiritual struggle in my life. I had many different thoughts and questions about my belief and if it were even really true or not. For a brief moment, I had thought of Christianity and thought that maybe all it was was another religion and all I saw was the world and its physical material. This was especially hard on me when I thought of the existence of the universe and how it all came to be. I had heard all about all the ways that the world was just a random offspring of a series of major events over the history of time and space, and I had begun to believe them for myself. As far as I know, it was the most depressing period of my life. I had researched and researched many different views of science and the world and how physical it is and then, one day on Youtube, I had come across one of your many debates. At this point, I was being hung on a string and being dipped into the self-destructive ideas of agnosticism. I saw how you held up and defended Christianity in one of your debates. It was like you were taking every argument that the atheist/agnostic presented and killing it and laying it in front of them for them to see. I have never seen such strength and willpower against the heavy weapons of nontheism. I am still astounded and awestruck by your understanding and your logical and convincing arguments that you present. I took up reading from your website, Reasonable Faith, and it has been such a huge inspiration and help towards my faith. It has figuratively built bridges over the gaps that I couldn't cross on my own. Keep doing what you're doing. God has blessed you with a great ability. Thank you for being my inspiration. I really hope you get this so you know what a huge change you've made in my life and in many others'.

Over the years, I've watched, with keen interest, Dr. Craig in debate after debate (available on YouTube, of course) with people like Sam Harris, Lawrence Krauss, and even my personal favorite, Christopher Hitchens. And one thing that consistently stands out and shines, no matter who Dr. Craig takes on these debates with, is Dr. Craig's professionalism. His articulate manner of speech. His propensity for backing up statements: with quotes, with verbal footnotes to scientific studies in whatever area is being addressed, and so forth.
I notice his unrelenting patience, even when he gets interrupted by his opponent repeatedly, and his unfailing (and I must say, pleasantly attractive) smile throughout. As much as I adore, and miss terribly Christopher Hitchens and his undeniable stage presence and formidable intelligence, there's just something so consistently professional about the modus operandi of Dr. Craig in these debates and it always - always - makes for an engaging, interactive, fun, and learning debate.
I simply wanted to take some time to thank him for this. For the debates. For challenging Atheists - to think, to reassess. For providing plausible explanations to the universe, even if in the end I align myself and thinking more along the lines of the late Christopher Hitchens.
Thank you, again, for your contribution to the world of intelligent debate, Mr. Craig. If I may flatter myself a moment, I just might be your biggest, most admiring Atheist fan.
Thanks, a final time, for all you do and, by all means, keep doing it!
Much love,
