And as for the 8000 lightyears argument, I have to disagree with Craig, I do think astronomy is relevant in the discussion. But the way that argument is presented is idiotic. If creationists actually believed that there were objects 8000 lightyears away whose light is reaching the earth only now, they wouldn't be creationists to begin with.
I don't actually disagree that the point has some relevance in the context of the discussion. I was merely pointing out that, since the author didn't actually give any context whilst adding that as an "argument to support evolution," it was a worthless addition. Anyway it's not so much an "argument to support evolution" as it is an "argument to dispute creationism." Just another nitpick at the shitty writing.
I am made of poison.
I can't even believe this.

The author used the phrase "proven theories." Ergo, their argument is invalid. *NM*
