William Lane Craig Cherry Picks His Standards for Christian Belief

There's been a bit of a dustup on philosophy of religion YouTube thanks to Dr. William Lane Craig's comments on a recent podcast about lowering the epistemic bar for belief in his form of Christianity and raising the bar for defeaters for Christianity. He then went on Capturing Christianity's channel to defend himself from numerous detractors and after seeing the hole he dug for himself on that show I decided to put out a detailed critique of his cherry picked standards.  

Sorry for a lack of a transcript, I wanted to do this one live, so you'll just have to watch the video.

Debunking William Lane Craig's Apologetics

In these ad lib videos I counter some apologetics from William Lane Craig.  The first video goes over how his clarifications on objective in terms of moral values and duties ends up proving his meta-ethical theory is self referentially incoherent.

The second covers how his apologetics about why we weren't created in heaven directly, as we'd expect if a tri-omni god existed, is just a terrible answer.

 

New Videos Debunking Miracles

I've found a new process for myself that lets me make some quick videos that can still get good points across. The downside is that I haven't spent a long time writing a script I can just put up as a blog post. 

However I've spent some time making videos about miracles and my thought experiment of empirically verifiable miracles - so please enjoy if you haven't seen them already. 

An Atheist Christmas? (Yes!) Is Christmas Pagan? (No!)

What Evidence do I have for Atheism?

 

Cameron from Capturing Christianity had "3 Sincere Questions for Atheists" video and since I already had something written up to address the meatiest question he had, I figured I'd put out a quick response.

The main question is "What Evidence do you have for your atheism?".

You can view Cameron's original video here.

Sorry there's no transcript for this one as I added a bit along with what I had originally written.

Countering Frank Turek's Dishonesty, Pop Apologetics About Sex, and Diet Presuppositionalism

 

A new impromptu video! 

Capturing Christianity released a video with popular level Christian apologist Frank Turek that was so bad I felt it needed to be responded to immediately.

You can watch the original video here.

Please bear with me in this video as it's my first time attempting to do some live playback and commentary.

Unfortunately as a result of the impromptu nature of this video, I do not have a transcript.

Also I'm adding a pre-emptive correction that came after recording: Frank's book released in 2014, so this isn't a book tour to cover for a lost one during the pandemic. Frank and Cameron were just doing product placement.
