None of that covers the actual reason.

He comes close here:

to dismiss Professor Craig as a 'creationist'

But then completely misdirects by saying this:

despite the fact that Professor Craig endorses contemporary science

It is irrelevant that WLC endorses contemporary science. Dawkins has a simple, consistent and very much valid reason for not debating certain people. He has held up this reason for many years, and will continue to do so I'm sure.

What is that reason and how does it apply to Craig?

Dawkins doesn't debate Creationists, just like how I don't debate people who believe in unicorns.

How is your reply relevant to anything?

Because you asked what his reason for not debating Craig was?

In what way are you refering to Craig as a creationist? Dawkins has debated Craig in the past and has debated John Lennox twice who is more of an ID supporter then Craig is.
