In other words, you're confusing theology with teleology.

William Lane Craig's opinion is just that,
his opinion, and it is no more valid than any of ours.
And I wasn't confusing Teleology with Theology. I was in no way attempting to compare or contrast the two. I did not mention Teleology because I do not believe that life has a
final goal or purpose. I personally view life as more cyclic in nature. The end of one period is the beginning of another. There is no
final goal, just progression and maturation.
And I was in no way trying to glorify Jesus' crucifixtion as a basis for believing that life has value. With or with out religion, life would end up the same. Good and evil would still exist.
