This monograph offers a critique of arguments for the existence of a specifically Christian God advanced by prominent scholar William Lane Craig. The discussion incorporates philosophical mathematical scientific historical and sociological approaches. The author does not seek to criticize religion in general or Christianity specifically. Rather he examines the modern and relatively sophisticated evidential case for Christian theism. Scholars have been arguing for theism or naturalism for centuries and there seems little to add to the discussion especially from the theistic side. However to assume that either theism or naturalism obtains is a false dichotomy. There are alternatives to both that merit consideration. Employing a probabilistic approach the author advances this discussion. His work uniquely utilizes not only naturalistic hypotheses to argue against theism. It also presents supernaturalistic hypotheses. This leaves no question that theism is almost certainly false even if some form of divine reality exists.This project seeks not to argue that Christianity or any other faith or religion is undesirable but only to critically examine evidentialist claims posited by Christianity's learned apologists. In fact a major secondary aim is to consider alternative god-conceptions such as polytheism and pantheism. This work aims to highlight that Christian theism is often granted special privileges by theistic philosophers of religion which seems doubly inappropriate when certain alternative god-conceptions may even prove to be more plausible.
