We listened to the live stream of the debate Wednesday night between Lawrence Krauss and William Lane Craig while Kelly and Christian did their homework.  Craig was his usual self:  articulate, ordered in his arguments, gracious, and vastly knowledgeable.  Krauss was wildly under prepared.  Craig actually had to correct him a good number of times on issues of physics.  Krauss really made no cogent arguments about anything, much less a lack of evidence for God.  He made lots of statements about stuff that Craig has addressed in previous debates, but Craig had such a target rich environment that he could not get to them all.  Craig, in his usual style, had a list of five positive arguments for his side of the debate question.  He explained them thoroughly and listed the reasons they were true.  Krauss basically said, “That is false” to a couple of the arguments and ignored the rest.  He gave no disernable reasons for the falsity.  It is always a joy to listen to Craig, but debates are always a lot more interesting if you are not debating a buffoon.

Thankful there is another debate on Saturday night at 7:00 PM EDT between Sam Harris and William Lane Craig at Notre Dame University.  We are going to break out the popcorn and pizza again.  I am hoping for a better debate, but after reading a little about Sam Harris, I am a little skeptical.  I think he might even be as ill-equipped for this type of debate as Krauss.  We will see.  The only link I kind find to the debate so fare is on facebook here.  The debate is supposed to be live streamed so I will put up the link on this post as soon as (and if) I find it.
