Fair and measured as is always the case with Dr. Craig. Blessings

Listening to Dennett and Dawkins give thanks brings me to;

Rom 1:19-22 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.
20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, ....

It's a perfect fit.

For Dennett to say that it's "anti-scientific" to think that the mind isn't just a robotic algorithmic function of the brain suggests that Dennett himself didn't understand science.

Well the poor guy knows the truth now😢

The best part is them talking about values, beauty, luck, good and bad and better, all while having no way or justification to ground any of that. As usual, on atheism you just need to declare stuff.

I thought this was going to be some sort of tribute video but it was actually a burial.

[KenMasters.]

Secular propagandists are the only people who will miss Dennett,

same with the other FFRF cult leaders.

[vrocs]

may he rest in peace and God have mercy on his soul.

Out of the 4 horsemen, two already passed, and two are still on the way to the same place.

Wondering if Richard Dawkins is seeing this, and in response, will finally debate Dr. Craig

[samdg]

No one destroys philosophical fallacies as effectively as WLC.
Exhibit one: you can get purpose from accidental amalgams of atoms and their constituents. Are you kidding me? Thank you, Dr. Craig, for your lucid clarity.

9:59 Maybe I'm being childish, but I find the height difference very amusing.

One thing that keeps me from the christian faith is this disgusting thought of non-Christians going to hell, because they didn't put all of their faith into Jesus. So many Jesus fanboys in these comments are like "aha he's in hell now" and then this is the religion of grace and goodness.

[simonskinner]

"Same process", and "no accident" says Richard Dawkins, yet it is all accident when it is due to chance. Irrationality is allowed as long as ot supports Evolution.

There seems to be a lack of charitability in discussing Dennetts views. There is a lack of context when looking at these soundbites and instead of being charitable we assume he holds the worst version of the views discussed.

[simonskinner]

Dennett was Biblically correct in that it was the word of God that Jesus spoke, not PSA at the Cross as there was no atonement at the Cross, we have to believe in Christ as the Word.

WLC should receive the presidential medal of freedom. If Trump wins I will petition for it.

Dennett is receiving the just reward for his life's work. I wonder if he can convince himself that his unfortunate place in eternity is just an illusion.

[leonlsan]

According to your doctrine, is he burning in hell right now?
