(Williаm Lаne Crаig article): Critique оf Naturalism and implicatiоns fоr Ethics . A number of years ago, a terrible mid-winter air disaster occurred in which a plane leaving the Washington, D.C., airport smashed into a bridge spanning the Potomac River, plunging its passengers into the icy waters. As the rescue helicopters came, attention was focused on one man who again and again pushed the dangling rope ladder to other passengers rather than be pulled to safety himself.

Rational beings can discover these principles independently of God or revelation--using reason and experience alone." (Pojman, 197) How would William Lane Craig respond to Pojman here?
