“Unreasonable Faith: How William Lane Craig Overstates the Case for Christianity”

WLC and the Bibles account of creation oppose each other, even his view on the virgin birth stands on shaky ground.
we should be critical unless we believe that something is true, even then I would Challenge a personal conviction. now I am a christian, I believe God created the world in 6 days and rested on the seventh. this said however I am well aware of the other arguments. the question should not be did God create in 6 literal days, no, the question should be is it impossible for God to create in 6 days, is it impossible for God to create out of nothing? is God energy or is he more? see, these questions if answered correctly will lay the framework to answering most if not all other cosmological questions.
I want to know why he is so scared of Matt Dillahunty?
James. What’s a God?
do you mean what is a god in general? or do you mean who is God?
“It is impossible duly to estimate the importance of this subject. If the Bible be the word of God, all the great questions which for ages have agitated the minds of men are settled with infallible certainty. Human reason has never been able to answer to its own satisfaction, or to the assurance of others, the vital questions, What is God? What is man? What lies beyond the grave? If there be a future state of being, what is it? and How may future blessedness be secured? Without the Bible, we are, on all these subjects, in utter darkness. How endless and unsatisfying have been the answers to the greatest of all questions, What is God? The whole Eastern world answers by saying, “That He is the unconscious ground of being.” The Greeks gave the same answer for philosophers, and made all nature God for the people. The moderns have reached no higher doctrine. Fichte says the subjective Ego is God. According to Schelling, God is the eternal movement of the universe, subject becoming object, object becoming subject, the infinite becoming finite, and the finite infinite. Hegel says, Thought is God. Cousin combines all the German answers to form his own. Coleridge refers us to Schelling for an answer to the question, What is God? Carlyle makes force God. A Christian child says: “God is a Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in his being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth.” Men and angels veil their faces in the presence of that answer. It is the highest, greatest, and most fruitful truth ever embodied in human language. Without the Bible, we are without God and without hope. The present is a burden, and the future a dread.” text in quotes came from the book Systematic Theology
