if you say so

It was hardly Hitchens best outing and he still won pretty easily imo.

Craig literally used "Well lots of people feel like God exists " as an argument that God exists
"The lord works mysterious ways" as the answer to the problem of evil

and openly defended the notion of doing immoral things by the definition of man because God has objective morality.... The same logic that justified genocide and slavery

And this is before you get onto the timing of Jesus intervention and nonsense probability statistics claptrap

It was immensely unpersuasive and poorly reasoned. You can tell he's used to preaching to a group who already believe this shit rather than people who actually listen to what he is saying.

I really doubt you saw the whole thing. The moral arguments Craig makes goes inadequately answered. Craig asks if morality can be objective without God, and Hitchens never goes around to answering it. It doesn't mean God exists, but it undermines any moral authority atheism might have, which makes theism a better moral choice.

I remember Sam Harris taking a crack at William Lane Craig some years later, but he fails to answer the same question either.
