The renaissance of Christian philosophy has been accompanied by a resurgence of interest in natural theology, that branch of theology that seeks to prove God's existence apart from divine revelation.

More quotes by William Lane Craig
If there is no God, then man and the universe are doomed. Like prisoners condemned to death, we await our unavoidable execution. There is no God, and there is no immortality. And what is the consequence of this? It means that life itself is absurd. It means that the life we have is without ultimate significance, value, or purpose.
William Lane Craig
Should a conflict arise between the witness of the Holy Spirit to the fundamental truth of the Christian faith and beliefs based on argument and evidence, then it is the former which must take precedence over the latter.
William Lane Craig
But the argument is still unsound, because the first premise is false: there are other unmentioned alternatives, for example, that Jesus as described in the gospels is a legendary figure, so that the trilemma is false as it stands.
William Lane Craig
The mere possibility provides no warrant for denying what I clearly grasp.
William Lane Craig
Reason is a tool to help us better understand and defend our faith as Anselm put it, ours is a faith that seeks understanding.
William Lane Craig
It's no longer enough to teach our children Bible stories they need doctrine and apologetics.
William Lane Craig
Certainty is an unrealistic and unattainable ideal
William Lane Craig
The Bible says all men are without excuse. Even those who are given no good reason to believe and many persuasive reasons to disbelieve have no excuse, because the ultimate reason they do not believe is that they have deliberately rejected God's Holy Spirit.
William Lane Craig
The point is this: If God does not exist, then life is objectively meaningless but man cannot live consistently and happily knowing that life is meaningless so in order to be happy he pretends life has meaning. But this is, of course, entirely inconsistent—for without God, man and the universe are without any real significance.
William Lane Craig
Atheists themselves used to be very comfortable in maintaining that the universe is eternal and uncaused. The problem is that they can no longer hold that position because modern evidence that the universe started with the Big Bang. So they can't legitimately object when I make the same claim about God - he is eternal and he is uncaused.
William Lane Craig
Scepticism, ironically, draws its life's blood from claims to have a good deal of knowledge. For example, your friends claim to know, 'Since every possible option has not been explored, nothing can be said for certain.' That statement is itself a claim to knowledge!
William Lane Craig
Catching the apple doesn't overturn the law of gravity or the formulation of a new law. It's merely an intervention of a person with freewill who overrides the natural causes operative in that particular circumstance. And that is, essentially, is what God does when he causes a miracle to occur.
William Lane Craig
The man who feels like he's a woman trapped in a man's body, when he goes into the ladies room, it's the other women whose privacy it seems to me as being violated by having this man walk in... regardless of how he feels.
William Lane Craig
For the assertion that There is no God is just as much a claim to knowledge as is the assertion that There is a God. Therefore, the former assertion requires justification just as the latter does.
William Lane Craig
It’s the combination of improbability with an independently given pattern that discredits chance.
William Lane Craig
If true love came at a price, the price would be all worth while if i was spending it on you.
William Lane Craig
Richard [Carrier] takes the extremist position that Jesus of Nazareth never even existed, that there was no such person in history. This is a position that is so extreme that to call it marginal would be an understatement it doesn't even appear on the map of contemporary New Testament scholarship.
William Lane Craig
The Christian faith does not call for us to put our minds on the shelf, to fly in the face of common sense and history, or to make a leap of faith into the dark. The rational person, fully apprised of the evidence, can confidently believe.
William Lane Craig
I am an Orangeman first and a politician and member of this parliament [Stormont] afterwards.
William Lane Craig
Part of the broader task of Christian scholarship is to help create and sustain a cultural milieu in which the gospel can be heard as an intellectually viable option for thinking men and women.
