William Lane Craig vs Michael Tooley
The debate between these two gentlemen has apparently taken place, but I am yet to be able to find any information as to the drama, the deliberations, the debate, and even the outcome!
I am told by a Christian Philosopher, in the know I will have you know, that Michael Tooley is a savvy and tough opponent…
therefore, this could be well-worth listening to, if that will be at all possible… and we should all be familiar with our W. L. C.!
However, to whet your appetite, an Interview was completed with both men, one after the other, with the Southern Evangelical Seminary’s, Sound Rezn program with Alex McFarland a mere few days before the big event… which you can find by heading to this page… HERE!… H/T: Apologetics315 on Twitter
To drown your appetite, these men have met before, in a debating sense, many moons ago, back in 1994, on the subject… A Classic Debate on the Existence of God… with the manuscript being found… HERE!
Will let you know if or when one finds out any details about this present debate!

Dr Craig has given his thoughts on how the debate went in his Reasonable Faith newsletter:
“By contrast my debate the following evening at UNCC generated a lot of light but very little heat! My opponent for this debate on “Is God Real?” was Michael Tooley, a well-respected philosopher from the University of Colorado (Boulder). He has recently published a very complex argument against God based on examples of certain evils in the world. In preparation for the debate I worked through his argument carefully and prepared a four-point response. To read my critique of his argument click here. (I’m indebted to Timothy McGrew and Matt Flanagan for very helpful interaction!) Tooley also came well-prepared to the debate. Indeed, this was his undoing, for he had all four of his speeches (including “rebuttals”!) canned in advance. As a result, he was utterly inflexible and so didn’t respond to virtually anything I said in my rebuttals. It was as if I didn’t even need to be there! So the debate turned out to be pretty one-sided, with me replying to each of his relevant points and him just ignoring me and plugging ahead with his prepared speeches. While Dr. Tooley would, of course, disagree, I think Christian theism came away looking eminently reasonable and credible.”
