Recently, Tyler McNabb had William Lane Craig respond to new objections to the Kalam. In this video, I explain why Craig's responses fail. Like the show? Help it grow!

(2) I accidentally clipped out half a sentence in my editing! At 1:20:49, the sentence should conclude: "...it licenses you to conclude that there's a possible world containing precisely that arrangement of regions."
