Prominent Christian apologist William Lane Craig’s name is most often associated with his ministry organization Reasonable Faith, the name of his most famous book and also weekly podcast.

While cosplaying as a conservative Christian voice and leader, he is more philosopher than theologian, and his recent spate of biblical pronouncements show.

In a recent video posted to his YouTube page, William Lane Craig responded to LutheranSatire’s video “Donall and Conall Meet William Lane Craig,” which takes him to task for his view that most of the early chapters of the book of Genesis were myths.

Here, he repeats a frequent criticism he has of young-earth creationists who believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old (which he frequently calls an ’embarrassment’) by likening them to flat-earthers.
