William Lane Craig getting a TV Show....

[Fidel_Castronaut]

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.

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.

He got his first PhD from my university, Birmingham, which is one of the highest regarded University's in the UK/Europe for research in various schools.

It still kind of annoys me that he came here, but I'm not sure why.

But I don't think having a PhD is a sign of intelligence, rather dedication.

Actually, sometimes when i look at how tangled up the clothes get in the washer, i start to believe in irreducible complexity myself.

"Welcome, I'm Bill Craig! We're here in Irvine, California, therefore this is a talk show."

"My first guest is of Romanian descent, therefore she's a student at Cal-Berkely."

At least not according to Guttenburg. Johannes, not Steve.

I have watched many of WLC's debates.............

There is nothing he argues for in regards to challenging the natural processes of reality that cannot be refuted with a  solution that has a natural cause rather than the supernatural default........his work and research in this area is nothing more than a modern attempt to establish the remaining God of the gaps arguments. Most of his research is dated and irrelevant in his understanding of quantum physics, biology, evolution of common ancestry and general cosmological constructs.

The other side of the coin is his positioning of theological arguments where he continues the presupposition of the accounts of NT scripture as validate for defending an evangelical point of view. This area is wide open for criticism and invalidating based of an objective academic study of the manuscripts of the canonical gospels let alone every other manuscript placed into canon.

He makes good money at what he does and is raved by the Christina community as a top apologist for the faith............

If that is the case the literalist interpretation of scriptures in the Christian world view is doomed to the dust bin of history as scientific rationalism continues its march towards defining reality through evidence securitized within the process of the scientific method.

[NonXNonExX]

I doubt if his show will be as entertaining as Creflo Dollar or Benny Hinn. Now THAT'S entertainment!

"Reasonable Faith" What a great example of an oxymoron!

[The Non Prophet]

Oh America, you never cease to amaze me with your money wasting on charlatans while innocent people starve. I didn't read the link so I apologize if this sounds ill-spoken but if it's a real show with seasons it'll be cancelled or moved to an all religious channel if it isn't planned that way already. Craig does not possess anything any other apologist has and will fail to convert the world like any other religious shill.

First the literalists,
then the idealists,
then the apologetics,
lastly the faith rationalists.

Not only is god is retreating into obscurity, the believers are too.

Each week, Dr. Craig will equip you with the tools needed to win skeptics and defend biblical truth with maximum effectiveness.

Hmmm I still think Craig is a lying douchebag.  Maybe he needs to refine his technique?

[Colanth]

A little duct tape on his mouth might be exactly the "refinement" his technique needs.

[rickcopeland648]

err... yuck...

At least more people will be able to see how stupid he is.

Not really. Hardly anybody will see it. People attribute too much to cable tv shows watched by a minimal audience...

[Colanth]

Unfortunately, fundies in the US don't constitute "a minimal audience".  I'd guess that about 1/3 of the population actually believes all the nonsense these "experts" spew.  (I didn't believe that until I moved south - now the only people I meet who don't believe are others who moved here from saner areas.)
