Thanks for doing what most of your atheist friends are too afraid to do: actually listen to the other side and discuss the issue. I listened to his opening and part of Stengers before I got called away. I'll finish it later, but before I have to run: does it comport with your intuition and experience that contingent things do not need a cause and that things come into being from nothing?

Craig is saying that the Universe was Created, and every created thing has a cause therefore it his his beliefe that all of what is stated in the Bible is true . This not exactly brilliant debate nor has he proven anything at all , he's just stating his belief & admiting later that it is his "strong intuition" It's not just intuition that the universe had a beginning though. It did come into being from non-being. And what science tells us about it sounds a lot like what an act of creation would be. ----------- 2100yr old heresay . He states that we know where the Tomb was, that it was a sunday ...that it was empty for the women saw that it was empty...that Jesus appeared in the flesh afterwards to so many, therefore Jesus existed & was the Son of God in Heaven Any account of something that happened 2000 years ago is going to be 2000 years old. What no one can deny is that the people who knew Jesus the best, including his disciples and his family, became believers in his resurrection soon after his death. Furthermore, they were so sure of this they were willing to sacrifice their lives for telling the story to everyone they could.
