  Unconscious Minds (QoW #996) 23.07.2026 4min

  A listener argues that 200 mg of propofol extinguishes the mind and not just consciousness. He believes this to be empirical evidence that undercuts belief in surviving death. Dr. Craig rejects the premise that mind equals consciousness, invokes Eccles' pianist analogy to explain why an impaired brain produces impaired mental function without the mind ceasing to exist, and points to dualist-interactionist arguments—alongside Scripture—for why the mind can outlast the brain it's currently tied to.
• 
  Non-Belief and Disbelief (QoW #995) 23.07.2026 3min

  A listener from Canada asks Dr. Craig to sort out three often-conflated terms: nonbelief, disbelief, and belief regarding God's existence. Dr. Craig explains the three doxastic attitudes one can hold toward any proposition, and argues that "disbelief" isn't mere absence of belief but a positive truth claim requiring justification—meaning atheists who disbelieve in God can't escape the burden of proof by hiding behind "I just lack a belief."
• 
  Did Jesus Rise? Can Genesis Be Figurative? 20.07.2026 15min

  Can Christians interpret Genesis figuratively without compromising biblical authority? Dr. Craig answers questions about the historical evidence for Jesus' resurrection, the literary genre of Genesis 1–11, and how Scripture, science, and philosophy work together in the pursuit of truth.

  Baptism a Cardinal Doctrine? (QoW #994) 16.07.2026 3min

  A listener named Chris pushes back on Dr. Craig's video "What About Baptism?", where Craig said baptism "is not a cardinal doctrine that need divide us." Chris argues that Galatians teaches only one true gospel — so if baptismal regeneration (the belief that baptism is necessary for salvation) is wrong, its proponents are preaching a false gospel, making fellowship with them untenable. Dr. Craig responds that Chris has misread the sacramentalist position: those who hold to baptismal regeneration don't see baptism as a meritorious work, but as one more means of grace, like preaching or Scripture reading. Craig explains why he can disagree with fellow baptized Christians on this point without treating them as false brethren.

  Is God an Unjust Liar? (QoW #993) 16.07.2026 7min

  A viewer named Stephen poses a hard question: if a repentant abortionist can be saved on his deathbed and never "pay" for his crimes, doesn't that make God's promise of vengeance and justice a lie? Dr. William Lane Craig responds that the listener has confused justice with grace — the gospel was never about earning salvation through works, but about a mercy that saves sinners who turn to God in genuine repentance and faith. Craig explains how penal substitutionary atonement satisfies both God's justice and His mercy without compromise, argues that "Vengeance is Mine" is being read out of context, and challenges Stephen to examine why grace toward a repentant sinner feels unjust rather than something to rejoice in.

  God or Godish? A Conversation with William Lane Craig and Philip Goff 13.07.2026 59min

  Philip Goff is a philosopher best known for defending panpsychism — the view that consciousness is a fundamental feature of reality. He's also, by his own description, a "mildly heretical Christian." In this conversation, Goff and William Lane Craig find surprising common ground on fine-tuning before turning to the questions that still divide them: the nature of the atonement, whether God is all-powerful, and what the resurrection appearances actually were. A friendly but substantive dialogue between two thinkers who disagree on a lot and yet continue the conversation.About Dr. William Lane CraigWilliam Lane Craig is a philosopher and theologian and the founder of Reasonable Faith.
