Craig’s “Historical Evidence” for the Death of Jesus – Part 2
Although Christian apologists bear the burden of proof to show that ‘Jesus actually died on the cross’, William Craig usually ignores this issue in his books, articles, and debates defending the resurrection of Jesus. In my previous post, I pointed out that there is at least one book in which Craig does make a case … Craig’s “Historical Evidence” for the Death of Jesus – Part 2
Craig’s “Historical Evidence” for the Death of Jesus
Anyone who asserts that ‘Jesus rose from the dead’ takes on a burden of proof, and because this is an extraordinary claim, the proof required is extraordinary proof. Make a miracle claim and you take on a heavy burden of proof. So, when William Craig asserts that ‘Jesus rose from the dead’, he takes upon … Craig’s “Historical Evidence” for the Death of Jesus
The Failure of William Craig’s Case for the Resurrection
According to the Christian apologist Norman Geisler: Before we can show that Jesus rose from the dead, we need to show that He really did die.

Worst Atheist Debate Performances (revised 22-May-15)
In the past, I posted a list of the “Worst Atheist Debaters.” I now think that title was a mistake, since it’s possible that a single debate performance may not be representative of a person’s overall skill in debate. So I am republishing that list now as a list of the “Worst Atheist Debate Performances.” … Worst Atheist Debate Performances (revised 22-May-15)

Craig-Carroll Debate
I missed the opening statements, but watched the rest of the debate live. Based on what I saw, Carroll did as well in his debate with Craig as Shelley Kagan did in his. Off the top of my head, this is the best debate performance I have ever seen by an atheist scientist. Your name … Craig-Carroll Debate
