I highly recommend that Craig's work should be read before criticism is
offered. My experience is that Craig does exceptional work at fairly
representing multiple points of view. And by "fair" I mean two things:
(1) He takes pains to not misrepresent views with which he disagrees. He
presents the views in ways which, I believe, the advocates of those views
would approve.
(2) He does not let any particular viewpoint get away with making bad
arguments. He disentangles bad arguments from good arguments.
I hope y'all can appreciate how hard it is to do the second without
sacrificing the first.
Craig is open to suggestions for how his work can be even more useful,
more informative, and more fair than it already is. So if anyone is
interested in the ASA having a good origins education website, I recommend
you check out Craig's work and give him some helpful suggestions.
