Granted I gave up on it about half-way through, but unless you're interested in watching a promotional video for William Lane Craig that consists of a lot of REALLY short "sound bites", you should give this one a pass.
Talk about "style over substance"....

Yeah, but how often are debates hyped like this? For that reason I found it entertaining.
If I were Craig, I'd be embarrassed whether or not he had anything to do with it. I'd be even more embarrassed if he did.

I am surprised by Dawkins' unwillingness to defend atheism against the top Christian apologist in the world—you'd think someone in his position would jump at the chance.

Dr. Craig, who has debated almost every prominent atheist besides Dawkins, is definitely not in need of padding his resume. What is clearly at issue here, rather, is Dawkins refusal to defend his arguments.
