Craig's speech in these videos is no more no less than a pleading (with threatening undertones) to you to believe in his god, only because you'll be better off, supposedly. Truth be hanged! He gives some quotations from literary and science authors, all of them quote-mining! I was especially incensed to hear him quoting the Nobel laureate Jacques Monod to support his pleading for a belief in god, while Monod, in his book "Chance and Necessity", gives grave warnings especially against people like Craig and his religion! (I have this book and had read it before, but while preparing this video, I read it three (yes, three! it's a small book) more times, looking for the little quote Craig gives, but couldn't find it. Could I have missed it?)
