Which means that to me the offer of certainty, the offer of complete security, the offer of an impermeable faith that can\'t give way, is the offer of something not worth having.

Well, I wouldn't say Craig is stupid (having 2 PhDs isn't something most stupid could or would do). More like, obfuscating and persistent, though I couldn't deny his rhetorical skills. :l

Damn... Hopefully my mome doesn't find out.

Not that having a Phd is all that impressive for an apologist.  Although, it appears Craig earned his at real schools instead of getting them from a diploma mill that he founded himself.

Let me be the first to say fuck him.

Sorry I thought it was common knowledge that his PhD's are fake. One was from a University that doesnt exist and the other was from a christian "university" that he either founded or co-founded. He literally gave that degree to himself.

Oh and also he did time for tax fraud.
And on the wings of a dream so far beyond reality
All alone in desperation now the time has come
Lost inside you'll never find, lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

That was Kent Hovind. :P I know they're hard to distinguish because of how annoying they are.

Ah heh right you are. For all intents and purposes they are essentially the same person.

Does it matter what his credentials are? His arguments are crap. Crap that can boggle the unwary, but crap none the less.

You can have legitimate advanced degrees and still be stupid. Just look at the ICR, there are actual people there with PhD's in Biology and Geology that continually spout off the 6000-10000 year old Earth stories, irreducible complexity, and other nonsense.
