RE: [asa] RE: Apologetics Conference 2008

Thanks for that link. Two things:

 1. He claims to be agnostic on the fact of evolution. I wonder why that is... I mean the real reason.
 2. He appeals to Michael Denton for arguments against evolution. Just like my Theology teacher did. Then I found out, after finishing the class, Denton's book (Evolution in Crisis) was really old and now Denton accepts evolution! Why appeal to the old Denton when the new Denton no longer believes it ???

Funny timing in that regard. Just today WLC updated Reasonable Faith about this very topic.

Looking at their agenda- looks like evolution is not a topic. From listening to William Lane Craig, I get the impression that he dodges the question of evolution at every opportunity. He's afraid to address it head-on in my experience. I've listened to a lot of his podcasts. I like him a lot- just think he is a coward in that respect... especially since he claims to be on the forefront of apologetics.

My guess is he thinks that the Christian faithful isn't yet ready to accept evolution, and so he avoids it, by saying other philosophical points make the debate unimportant. (The evidence for a Creator means you don't have to accept a naturalistic godless universe... but what about evolution as God's method of design??? I don't think he'll address it.)
