William Lane Craig explaining the Kalam cosmological argument in church

This is the video from his appearance at Saddleback Church (Rick Warren) that got such a big response. Saddleback is a pretty ordinary church, which lots of people with different levels of knowledge. How did Bill explain the Kalam argument to so many different ordinary people?

You can also find a more technical version of the lecture here. This version is based on a research paper published in an astrophysics journal, and was delivered to an audience of students and faculty, including atheist physicist Victor Stenger and prominent atheist philosopher Michael Tooley, at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Craig has previously debated Stenger and Tooley. And they both asked him questions in the Q&A of this lecture.

    UPDATE: Brian Auten e-mails to notify me of more audio from the apologetics conference at Saddleback.

    For your information, the audio and video for the Saddleback Apologetics Weekend is available now. This includes Geisler, D’Souza, Craig, Bock, Koukl, and Moreland.

    And here are the lectures:

    • How Can I Know God Exists? – Dinesh D’Souza – MP3
    • How Did the Universe Begin – William Lane Craig – MP3
    • If God Exists, Why is there Evil? – Norman Geisler – MP3
    • Has Science Made Belief in God Obsolete? – J.P. Moreland – MP3
    • What Do the Gospels Really Say About Jesus? – Darrell Bock – MP3
    • How Can I Defend My Faith Without Sounding Defensive? – Greg Koukl – MP3

    I have to give kudos to Rick Warren for hosting this conference. I don’t like him at all, but this was a BIG DEAL.

    I didn’t like the Norman Geisler one as much, but the others are all good.
