dewinthemorning | Why Dawkins Won't Debate Craig Part 3 - Language, Dr.Craig! @dewinthemorning | Uploaded September 2011 | Updated October 2024, 42 minutes ago.
Dawkins and Craig do not talk the same language - 'existence', 'being', 'perfect', 'mind' - mean different things to them, and are used not in the same way by them! There are some more, for another video.
How do you expect a meaningful conversation, or more seriously, a public debate between them, to make any sense? Dawkins would have to correct him at every step of the way!
Links to videos I've used to illustrate Craig's meaning:

This was a spur of the moment . It is the first cut. I made it as a rehearsal. The plan was to make the real video later, but I didn't get a chance. That was the only place where I could put (precariously) my camera, it could show only this angle. There is a big table between the camera & me, I couldn't stand closer. I usually don't like to stand very close to the camera, but I never intentionally stand so far. This wasn't planned! We make a lot of jokes with my friends about this :) They call me a pin-head at the bottom of the screen! Ouch!
