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.

Thank you so much to this author for penning this piece and for protestia.com posting it! Craig is more dangerous than any outside enemy. His blasphemous lies help the pagans and atheists try to destroy the Christian faith. At times, it is impossible to even know what side the man is on. Thank you faithfully exposing this enemy of the faith.
Except that the Bible has been proven true over and over again. Are YOU in for a big surprise.
Craig’s Old Earth genesis-is-myth view, and the Young Earth, genesis-is-young view are not the only two ways to read Genesis. In Robert Sheldon’s “The Long Ascent: Genesis 1-11 in Science and Myth”, is an intermediate view that places the Flood at 9590BC, and Eden at 11,700BC with both scientific and historical data. You CAN have it all.
I’m not necessarily rejecting the possibility of the flood being 9,590 BC and creation 11,700 BC. It is not how I personally read Genesis. But that is not having it all. Craig and other evolutionists would laugh at the idea of the earth being under 13,000 old. 13,000 years, while giving more wiggle room for certain archeological claims, is still considered young earth to evolutionary biologists, geologists, and astronomers.
Although Craig has good arguments against atheism, he is calling God the Father and Son LIARS. Jesus told us that God made man “in the beginning.” Paul states that MAN brought death to the world because of sin. Craig either calls Paul a liar, or thinks all animals never died until Adam chose to sin.
Google says “Craig is known for his traditional, conservative views on marriage and sexuality, often arguing against same-sex marriage” -so apparently THAT’s about all he’s correct about.
With apologists like Craig, who needs heretics?
so sad that WLC has gone down this road. He used to offer pretty sound theological positions.
