Whatever Happened to Intelligent Design?
KEVIN HARRIS: Dr. Craig, today we are going behind the scenes of Reasonable Faith so you can tell us about some interesting conferences to which you’ve been invited, including this private conference where the topic of intelligent design came up. This was put on by a famous entrepreneur in an interesting place?
DR. CRAIG: In an exotic location, Kevin. It was on the French Riviera. Peter Thiel, who is a kind of iconoclast billionaire – he founded PayPal as well as several other ventures, sponsored this entire conference near to Nice on the Mediterranean coast of France. They brought in what I might call contrarian thinkers in different fields like economics, physics, philosophy, politics because, as an iconoclast, Thiel wants to hear the unorthodox views – the non-orthodox opinions. The persons at the conference would discuss these among themselves. It was a private conference – it was not open to the public. All of the discussions were off the record.

Last October I posted about theologian William Lane Craig’s ridiculous claim, made in a video debate with philosopher Stephen Law, that animals don’t perceive pain. As Craig said then,
“Even though animals feel pain, they’re not aware of it.. . Even though your dog and cat may be in pain, it really isn’t aware that of being in pain, and therefore it doesn’t suffer as you would when you are in pain.”
And as I wrote at the time, this claim was motivated by Craig’s desperate attempt to explain away the problem of gratuitious suffering—in this case the suffering of animals:
The reason Craig and others argue that animals don’t suffer is because it eliminates one of the vexing aspects of the theological problem of evil (theodicy): why do innocent animals (who haven’t sinned) suffer? If you claim that they don’t suffer, that part of the problem goes away.
But of course to any person with rationality (a quality not much in evidence among Craig or his followers), the argument that animals feel but but aren’t aware of it is palpably ridiculous. As I noted:
But there’s no difference between feeling pain and being aware that you’re feeling pain. Pain is a “quale” (plural “qualia”)—a conscious and subjective sensation—which demands awareness
