What , that Craig's argument that everything comes from nothing therefore there's immaterial mind behind all things ? You could go back & ask some boomarang thrower 25,000yrs ago in the Australian plains the same question & he could tell you the same simpleminded story as this . It was all done by magic spirits !!

Dawkin's doesn't debate Craig because there's nothing to debate. The point is that Evolution is not about how life began, it is about how life evolved which is now being discovered and ultimately will be explained . Dawkin's sure led Professor Craig out on a limb with this rationaliztion of how God commits genocide and in usual moronic style the Christian apologist uses a chain saw to cut the branch he sits on, off .

"But why take the lives of innocent children?

The terrible totality of the destruction was undoubtedly related to the prohibition of assimilation to pagan nations on Israel's part. In commanding complete destruction of the Canaanites, the Lord says, 'You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons, or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods' (Deut 7.3-4). […] God knew that if these Canaanite children were allowed to live, they would spell the undoing of Israel. […] Moreover, if we believe, as I do, that God's grace is extended to those who die in infancy or as small children, the death of these children was actually their salvation. We are so wedded to an earthly, naturalistic perspective that we forget that those who die are happy to quit this earth for heaven's incomparable joy.

Therefore, God does these children no wrong in taking their lives."

Those Caananite children slaughtered by the Israelites were innocents argues your Prof Craig , therefore they'll go directly to heaven which we all forget is the main goal of living , oh boy , how lucky for them ! So the same thing could be reasoned for zygotes and egg cells , they are just as innocent so killing any foetus will just get a free ride right up to the pearly gates . That's just usuing this poor fools own rationalization regarding the children of the Caanaites , moron .

Your Christian apologist Prof Craig just outshines himself here and we use the term "professor" loosely , for here in the heart of this defense takes all & any fire out of the cause for even championing against early term abortion ...those tiny souls just go directly up to heaven which is a good thing !! (we support human rights not endorse any abortions )

Prof Lane Craig:

: " Moreover, if we believe, as I do, that God's grace is extended to those who die in infancy or as small children, the death of these children was actually their salvation. We are so wedded to an earthly, naturalistic perspective that we forget that those who die are happy to quit this earth for heaven's incomparable joy.

Therefore, God does these children no wrong in taking their lives."

(You & Brumar need geriatric therapy, for all you know how to do is lie & Craig's even better than both of you but these are the fellows you're stuck on so on goes the liying & rationalizations from primitive barbaric scriptures ...and all the moronic hypocrisy & destructive blind faith that follows .)

Cat get your tounge ?

Don't mind & sleep peacefully , for all those early & late term abortions are ok being innocents according to Prof Lane Craig and bypass the hardships of life and go directly back to heaven to experience "incomparable joy" forever .

Or you can offer health education , counciling & diet , courses in health , physiology & parenting , birth control, psychology & mental health to try & prevent unwanted pregnancy etc .

And complete open forum discussion , not dictated by people immersed in ancient dogmas pretending to moral outrage & censorship for lack of any appreciable perception of the world's real problems with overpopulation & huge mounting economic pressures causing endless conflict & sufferings.
