But, to paraphrase - [Reason](https://www.lewissociety.org/reason/) - The Argument from Reason By Victor Reppert* When we hear of some new attempt to explain reasoning or language or choice naturalistically, we ought to react as if we were told that someone had squared the circle or proved the square root of 2 to be rational: only the mildest curiosity is in order-how well - [Ultimate](https://www.lewissociety.org/ultimate/) - The Ultimate Question of Origins: God and the Beginning of the Universe By William Lane Craig* Abstract: The absolute origin of the universe, of all matter and energy, even of physical space and time themselves, in the Big Bang singularity contradicts the perennial naturalistic assumption that the universe has always existed. One after another, models - [Initial](https://www.lewissociety.org/initial/) - God and the Initial Cosmological Singularity: A Reply to Quentin Smith By William Lane Craig* Abstract: Smith contends (i) an atheistic interpretation of the Big Bang is better justified than a theistic interpretation because the latter is inconsistent with the standard Big Bang model and (ii) his atheistic interpretation offers a coherent and plausible account - [Existence](https://www.lewissociety.org/existence/) - The Existence of God and the Beginning of the Universe By William Lane Craig* Introduction “The first question which should rightly be asked,” wrote G.W.F.

B1 contains $1,000; B2 contains either $1,000,000 - [Creation](https://www.lewissociety.org/creation/) - Creation, Providence, and Miracle By William Lane Craig* Abstract: In treating divine action in the world, we must distinguish between creation, providence, and miracle.

A careful analysis of these two notions serves to - [Resurrection](https://www.lewissociety.org/resurrection/) - Contemporary Scholarship and the Historical Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ By William Lane Craig* Abstract: After an appraisal of recent scholarship on the historicity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Professor William Craig contends that “the resurrection appearances, the empty tomb, and the origin of the Christian faith—all point unavoidably to one conclusion: - [Bodily](https://www.lewissociety.org/bodily/) - The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus By William Lane Craig* Abstract: It has been argued on the basis of Paul’s testimony that Jesus’s resurrection body was spiritual in the sense of being unextended, immaterial, intangible, and so forth. But neither the argument appealing to the nature of Paul’s Damascus Road experience nor the argument from Paul’s - [Actualism](https://www.lewissociety.org/actualism/) - Adams on Actualism and Presentism By William Lane Craig* Abstract: Robert Adams has defended an argument against the pre-existence of singular propositions about oneself on the grounds that it would have been possible for them to have existed even if one had never existed, which is absurd.
