William Lane Craig Exposes Lawrence Krauss's Dishonesty

  • 11 years ago
"I think you represented what I wrote about the BGV theorem in my papers and to you personally very accurately." - Alexander Vilenkin's e-mail to William Lane Craig, dated September 6, 2013

In their debate in Australia (2013), Lawrence Krauss accused William Lane Craig of misrepresenting Alexander Vilenkin and the BGV Theorem. To prove his point Krauss presented his private e-mail from Vilenkin. However, Craig noticed a number of ellipsis in the e-mail and wanted to know what Krauss deleted. Krauss said he deleted portions of the e-mail because they were "technical." Guess what? Vilenkin's uncensored e-mail to Krauss has been made public and it paints a different picture than the one Krauss presented.

Lawrence Krauss is in deep trouble for taking Vilenkin out of context like this. This proves Krauss is more interested in ideology than scientific evidence. This dishonesty shows he fails as a serious academic and leading thinker in physics and science.
