Loved this video. I hope Jonathan Pearce does not get worked up with William Lane Craig. I am a Christian and can see when an argument is being intellectually dishonest. I am also pro intellectual honesty. I am okay with saying I just have faith. I love Pearce's argument. I am also very skeptical of apologetics including Craig. They normally try to cherry pick their opponents arguments or miscontruing their statements and many can see through that. Before watching this video just saw Jonathan Pearce was debating the virgin birth with another apologist. I had to laugh because there is no way one can historically prove a virgin birth could happen. Thats should not even be a debateI understand why my atheist friends dismiss it. Even I as a Christian can see there is no evidence for that. I tell many Christian friends it's okay to say I have faith this is true but I don't know how to prove it. In other words it's okay to say i don't know. The bible tells Christians to conduct themselves with humility. I frankly don't see that from Craig and many apologists. Instead of just intellectual honesty that evidence for Resurrection and virgin birth is flimsy at best they use statements like there is absolute evidence.
