Even this atheist admitted that William Lane Craig bettered Hitchens in a debate.

I'm sure most of you saw the Hitchens/Craig debate. I thought that one went terrible, Hitchens could have done a much better job. I don't think Hitchens was prepared for what Bill presented, and he made Hitchens look really sloppy.

Alvin Plantinga is much more intelligent than Craig so I think he would have run circles around Hitchens. There are much smarter and more capable atheists in a debate. Anthony Flew was even much better though he is largely ignored now since he eventually admitted that there is too much evidence for theism.

I just watched this again, and as I suspected this is complete bullshite. It wasn't even his best performance, and Hitchens still handled Craig's nonsense. Craig certainly didn't prove that "God exists." He spent his time on podium discussing the points he wanted to push and largely ignored anything that didn't fit with those.
