A group of YouTube channels gathers to discuss Dr. Craig's answer to a recent question.

We welcome your comments in the Reasonable Faith forums:

I am BEYOND on honored to even be noticed by Dr. Craig let alone have him place his confidence in us! I am so humbled!

[christianidealism]

Don't worry Craig. Christianity will always have good defenders. Thanks for responding to my original question and the content! I am honored

[ApologeticsSquared]

Wow that square headed guy sure was handsome.

“Our side is going to win because we outthink the other side.”

That we do.

[gailpurcell]

Awesome presentation. I agree with Dr. Craig's assessment. Jesus encountered people who asked questions who really were seeking and really wanted an answer and then there were those who only asked questions to entrap Him. Jesus dealt with each very differently.

Please include the Question of the Week that they are talking about, in the video description.

I considered there had to be a God when I realized the past was eternal. I couldn't imagine a materialist past just on and on the same thing piling on top of itself forever. Hilbert's Hotel doesn't even cover it how ridiculous it seemed to me. I didn't turn into a theist, but I believed there had to be an infinite being behind it all. The more I thought about it the closer I came to theism.
Know what convinced me? Was a freewill believer attacking Calvinism, but if God created the Universe and has the attributes they claim He has then He created everything that ever happened. So no matter what arguments you bring to bear God knew exactly what would happen if He created the Universe the way He did including my DNA and abusive childhood. He could have changed it, but He didn't. Is God guilty of abusing me? No not at all, but He certainly let it happen and knew it would happen and be a part of me to this day.
It is God's Universe and we are fallen creatures responsible for what we do. God didn't have to come down here and die for me, but He did. If you cannot accept it is God's Universe to do with as He pleases for the best eternal reasons known only to Him, then be separated from Him forever, never getting better, just worse. It's why we don't live to be a thousand years old. Imagine how resentful and selfish you'd be.

In order to "out-think", the other side should think first.

Paulgia's whole schtick is him pulling faces.

[Gonefishing]

I have no idea what any of these words mean, but I am trusting Jesus for my forgiveness, and the reason He can forgive us, is because He is the one we have sinned against. To me it’s most improbable that someone who is innocent would die for someone who is guilty, now THATS a miracle!

[Mark-cdwf]

What’s the link to this video (not Paulogia’s, the panel’s)? I’ve looked at all their channels and can’t find it.

[franciscocepeda]

When it comes to religion it is a most to investigate what a particular religious belief says without trying to impose what you want to find. But let that religion speak for itself, read the written material and try to figure out if the words come from just people or a deity as described in said material. Seeking GOD, from the Bible, involves a sincere and honest heart, after all He is a conscious and sentient Being possessing all knowledge even that which is in our minds and hearts SINCERITY AND HONESTY WHILE SEEKING HIM. If lacking those 2 you don’t want to know. Try reading the material for all the other religions and notice the difference. In Christianity the bar has been set low so the final and greatest point can be reached but in order to get there the how doesn’t depend on us but on GOD, this is grace, a gift, accept the sacrifice on the cross and the resurrection and you shall be saved. In any other religion you have to be able to present yourself sinless in order to reach salvation. WHY INSIST THAT WE. MUST DO THE IMPOSSIBLE : CLEANSING OURSELVES ?

[resurrectionnerd]

15:25-15:54 - There you have it. Craig did not convert to Christianity on the basis of the evidence. He converted because it just "sounded good" to him. This is quite embarrassing given that Craig's whole ministry centers around the importance of the "evidence and arguments" for Christianity.

[JoseChung]

Wait a minute Liz says there's no epistemic probability that can be low enough for pragmatic reasons to believe not to be a factor? This is highly problematic omg.
