William Lane Craig v. New Atheism

Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, and Daniel Dennett are the four prominent writers of the new atheism, they are sometimes called "the four horsemen" of the new atheism. William Lane Craig is a prominent Christian apologist. He had public one on one debates with Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris and won both debates.

Richard Dawkins refused to debate with Craig. Richard Dawkins was invited by the Oxford student Christian Union to defend his book The God Delusion in public debate with William Lane Craig. However, Dawkins refused the challenge and his chair remained empty. Craig then gave a lecture, refuting Dawkins' arguments from his book.

Craig and Daniel Dennett did not have a public debate one on one either. Instead, Craig gave a lecture, presenting evidence for God's existence. It was followed by response of Daniel Dennett. Of course, Dennett was unable to refute Craig.

In another series of videos, Craig gave his refutation of new atheist arguments against God's existence.

I recommend everyone who thinks that Christian faith is illogical or irrational and that so called new atheism is logical and rational to watch all these videos:

Watch these videos for yourself and make your own conclusion: is Christian faith really illogical and irrational? is new atheism really more logical and rational than theism?
