About this episode

Dr. William Lane Craig responds to a megachurch pastor's eight reasons for leaving the faith and critiques the arguments presented.

A pastor trained at three seminaries and formerly on staff at a Dallas-area megachurch has said he is now an agnostic atheist, citing eight reasons for his deconversion. Dr. William Lane Craig responds to each, from the genetic fallacy and divine hiddenness to the historical Adam and the problem of evil, and points out what's conspicuously missing from the video: any engagement with the positive case for Christianity.
