You are irrational if you agree with Richard Dawkins on this one

As someone who embrace the beauty of rationalism philosophy I would say that if you agree with Dawkins and think that Dawkins gave convincing reasons for not debating Willaim Lane Craig its either you don’t know the background of Willaim Lane Craig or you are just being irrational by being an apologist for Dawkins even if he is not right.
In the article entitled “why i will not debate WLC” published in The Guardian, Dawkins offered the following reasons for not debating William Lane Craig
1)      Dawkins claimed that WLC academic credential is not up to standard of having a debate with him  and he further accused WLC of being a self-proclaimed philosopher because most philosopher whom Dawkins spoke to said they never had of WLC.

Objection#1

Now this is ridiculous WLC has authored over 30 books and published over 150 scholarly article and his academic credential is similar to that of AC Grayling. To make it worse which contemporary philosopher in the field of metaphysics in Anglo-American realm who never heard of WLC?  In fact Craig is one of the leading contemporary philosopher in the field of metaphysics in Anglo-American world.

2)      According to Dawkins the main reason why he won’t debate WLC is that because Craig defended and justified the genocide of Canannite in the Old Testament

Objection #2

Now this is funny, because Craig defended and justified the genocide of Canaanite that is the reason why Dawkins won’t have a professional debate with Craig. How reasonable is that? In fact Dawkins himself admitted that he don’t believe in most of those event in Old Testament, he regard them as legend and fairies. So because Craig justified and defended fairies and legends that’s the reason why Dawkins won’t have a debate with Craig. LMAU!!!

3)      He accused Craig of being a Young Earth Creationist

Objection #3

Everyone who know Craig will deny the allegation made by professor Dawkins that Craig is a Young Earth Creationist
Other atheist out there such as professor Denial dent condemned Dawkins for his excuse of not having a professional debate with Craig. Professor Denial (Atheist) called Dawkins an anti-intellectuals and a Coward who’s having different agenda other than the pursuit of truth.
