William Lane Craig had an abundance of supporting evidence to reinforce his argument. Craig approached his argument from not only a theist’s standpoint but from Philosopher’s standpoint as well, which made his speech clear and concise.

some of the arguments Mr. McCloskey has against God, as well as, a proper rebuttal for them. Mr. McCloskey would argue that the different arguments, or “proofs” as he calls it, do not provide an accurate case for the existence of God, therefore they should be ignored (McCloskey 51).
