I would not really consider it that great of a rebuttal. You do have to recognize that Craig's personal position is that even if he saw the rotting corpse of Jesus Christ, he would still believe. This... just isn't rational and not even worth engaging with. Even further, the claim of multiple possible "basic belief faiths" is a problem that has arisen in the academic literature surrounding Reformed Epistemology.


That would qualify as ad hominem: I know my rebutted was not a good response. But you can do better than that. The only internet access I have right now is through my ipad and I am not typing a defense of Plantinga's Religious Epistemology on that keyboard.

To point out that Craig's efforts defend a position that most would consider a reductio ad absurdum? I don't see that as necessarily an ad hominem, as this will impact what Craig will actually argue for, as Craig's claims about the Holy Spirit providing warrant really do go to irrational extremes that are not acceptable.
