Unbelievable? 8 Jan 2011 - William Lane Craig reviews his debate with Dawkins
Playback speed
William Lane Craig is a philosopher, author and key defender of the Christian faith in debates around the world.
Although atheist Richard Dawkins had publicly said he will not debate Craig, he found himself on the same platform as him in November 2010. Dawkins was on an atheist team, Craig on a theist team as they debated "Does the Universe have a purpose?" at a Mexico TED-style event.
With extracts from the debate, William (Bill) Lane Craig chats to Justin about the circumstances of their encounter and why he believes Dawkins and the atheist team changed their tactics mid way, were ununified and failed to address the arguments that were presented.
