From StephenB's gem of a tard unearthed by Bill:
| Quote | | Many great minds agree with me, including some of the most influential philsophers who ever lived. I will let someone else do the talking. He is William Lane Craig, one of the most talented [and thorough] philosophers that I know. |
It's just unbelievable that someone would call Craig one of the most influential philosophers of all times. A great philosopher Craig is not. He is better known as “the finest Christian apologist of the last half century.”
Craig's philosophical contributions include such great achievements as reviving the cosmological argument. He clings to the Lorentz ether theory, which includes thoroughly obsolete notions of absolute space and absolute simultaneity of time. (General relativity makes absolutely no sense from this perspective.)
Lastly, Craig is a Research Professor of Philosophy (!) at Talbot School of Theology (!), Biola University (!!). Needless to say, he is a Discovery Fellow.
The guy is a living fossil. What he does would be considered cutting-edge stuff a mere 400 years ago. A great tard in the original sense of the word.
