In that format, he can't indulge in the kind of excesses that seem to be the bread and butter of someone like Lee Strobel. On the other hand, I would be less likely to give him the benefit of the doubt when he does overreach since he has demonstrated the ability to present his views without exaggeration.Vinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955726889682177434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26528625.post-62506624032653946642007-12-18T12:08:00.000-06:002007-12-18T12:08:00.000-06:00Thanks for your comments, Vinny.I have just posted...Thanks for your comments, Vinny.<BR/><BR/>I have just posted my review of <A HREF="http://sandwichesthere.blogspot.com/2007/12/craigldemann-resurrection-debate.html" REL="nofollow">Craig's debate with Gerd Ludemann</A>. Let me know what you think.<BR/><BR/>There are lots of things about Craig that I respect. I just think he has a tendency to overstate his case.Ryan Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684042101455314865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26528625.post-72179847272316620982007-12-16T10:52:00.000-06:002007-12-16T10:52:00.000-06:00I agree.

Moreover, I think apologists like Craig only succeed in making theism look foolish by claiming that it rests on evidence they don't have rather than on the faith they can justly claim.Vinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08955726889682177434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26528625.post-58210684678796012872007-12-14T23:24:00.000-06:002007-12-14T23:24:00.000-06:00Yes.Yes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
