Craig's in the classic major premise, minor premise and conclusion.
However, the foundation of his argument relies upon another syllogism with the "Big Bang Theory" (a "beginning") as proof there was a beginning.
Nonetheless, "Big Bang Theory" is a strong argument that can only be defeated by denying that there was a "beginning." Given that current evidence (background radiation) strongly supports the "Big Bang Theory," and is not readily explainable through any other theory, Craig's argument stands.

"Big Bang Theory" is a strong argument that can only be defeated by denying that there was a "beginning." Not so! - There are several models that better describe observations than the "Big Bang." Hanging onto the bang is what necessitates ridiculous things like Dark Matter/Dark Energy to pollute our minds.
