I don't know if it was discussed in these forums before, but what was your impression of the debate? Although I don't agree with his views he is a legitimate great philosopher and master debater; a polar opposite to people like Gish and Hovind. Even if it was skewed, exposure to this type of rational, intelligent debate can only enlighten Christians and make them more tolerant.
William Lane Craig is an absolute brilliant debater, I wish we could convert him... I actually visited the session in the philosophy department the previous night and they told us that we had to visit the debate the next night. I was so frustrated because:
1. Sakkie Spangenberg and Hansie Wolmerans's (The new roformed movement) English is worse than mine and they struggled to bring their point across.
2. Sakkie and Hansie didn't answer the direct questions from William and the other wise ass that partnered with him which gave them the opportunity to make fun of Sakkie and Hansie.
3. William and kie is trained and professional, while Sakkie and Hansie are just not there.
4. 80% of the support was in favour of William and kie.
5. I met more than 10 individuals there who are seriously religious and far right who was good acquaintances before I converted. It led to a couple of awkward and uncomfortable moments for me.
