Dr. Craig's Strange Encounter with Richard Dawkins

Dr. Craig recounts the strange story of Dawkins being curt with him in a hotel lobby the first time they met.

Dawkins' lack of manners during his encounter with Dr Craig is more revealing than he perhaps intended. He frequently boasts that scientists maintain an open mind and are uniquely self-critical, always open to challenge. Dawkins, as instantiated in his brusque dismissal of Dr Craig, is as closed minded and dogmatically wedded to his own world view as it's possible to be.

WLC's impression of Richard Dawkins is hilarious

[pattybrennan]

Dr. Craig's impressions of Dawkins are like Darth sideous

[Cleisthenes]

The Dawkins impression is hilarious. You'd almost think he was a imperial officer during the colonial era talking down to the primitive american colonists.

Richard Dawkins sounds like a character from a novel, at least a character I would write anyway.

[TheOneStraightPath]

2:33 Bill "Well I hope we will have a good discussion"
Richard "It's highly unlikely"
This shows the deeply rooted hatred and fear, that is often manifested as arrogance among many new atheists.

I plead to all Christians. It is good to know how to give an answer to why you believe that Jesus is Lord but dont forget the aim is to Love. It is clear, Dawkins is a hurting man and needs to be Loved. Love you all and keep pursuing the Lord. It's one thing to know about God, it's another to know Him. Blessings

Dawkins is an intelligent man, but he doesn´t come across as a particularly nice person most of the time, and this only confirms it.
On what grounds did he call Craig an immoral person? I´m actually interested to know.

[josesantos]

Dawkins running from William Lane Craig like the Devil running away from the Holy Cross is satisfying.

Would it be crazy to hope that one day there would be a debate between Dr Craig and Stephen Fry? Would the latter react to him the same way? I wonder . . . but I'm glad to see there are genuinely good, Chestertonian-like Catholic debates and intellects out there and on this show here. Thanks for sharing Matt! God bless!

Richard Dawkin and other atheists would never come fact to face with Craig. You are blessed with unique wonderful and charming skills of debate and justify each and every thing in way that can be understood by everyone. Atheist hates you because after debates with you they would loose their following.

[bluegtturbo]

Dawkins reaction speaks volumes - so much for an open mind and calm rational debate.

[mi-ka-eltheguardian]

"Highly unlikely" could. You at the very least show some manners? Or is that something your highly degree doesn't allow you to do?

[christislord]

I watched that 3 v 3 Debatte
Debate. It was amazing.

[mi-ka-eltheguardian]

"oooh look at little Dawkins Jr... Wanna Craig?" 😂😂😂😂

[noaht]

you consider someone immoral so you refuse to challenge their views. Dawkins is a being of PURE LOGIC.

[blakerice]

Well now they've BOTH acknowledged each other's voices hahahah

[hellavadeal]

I saw the debate . Had some good laughs . Thanks.

[nathaniellarson]

Have the Atheist trolls been here for a while, or is it just because you invoked the name of their lord and savior?

[Benjamin-fuij]

Dawkins is not only wrong about most things outside his narrow scope of expertise, but also a petty little man.
