Dr. Craig Opening Argument (20 minutes)

Dr. Craig welcomes Mr. Hitchens and thanks him for coming into "this den of lambs".

He states "The question of God not only engages people on the basis of religion, but also on the basisi of philosophy. I will therefore try to engage Mr. Hitchens in a philosophical context."

Dr. Craig argues that:
  • There's no good argument that atheism is true
  • There are good arguments that theism is true.

  1. *envisions Craig's next statements* I've seen so many of his debates I can practically assume what he's going to open up with but I'm dying to hear Hitchen's response and then Craig's rebuttal. Argh! Can't believe it was $98 bucks!

  5. I'm not sure if it will be or not. I hope it's not too expensive. I'm sure this one will be worth purchasing.

  6. Can't believe it was $98 bucks!

    Am I understanding this properly -- there was a $98 entry fee for this debate? Is this customary?

  7. Tim: It was $98 to get a live video feed. I think it was only $20 to get in.

  9. Ahhhhhh ... Okay, now I get it. Thanks! (Still puzzled about the entry fee, but Hitchens has to earn his drinking money somehow I suppose ...)
