Craig is a seasoned debater, and his years of experience have taught him not only to identify the red herrings in his opponents' arguments but also to get away with a few dishonest tricks of his own.
Dawkins laid out his definitions of terminology on theist, deist, and pantheist. He referred to deism as a "watered-down theism" while pantheism as "sexed-up atheism". Of course, with theism, he refers to the belief in the traditional supernatural deity who created everything and comes in from time to time to bend natural laws and interfere with human events. So, with respect to his definitions, I do see his point.
As freethinkers, we value science as a method of truly seeing the world for what it is. While some people might say science is just a boring body of knowledge or even reject science outright for conflicting with their presupposed ideas, we have had the inkling that it is otherwise.
