Here is a good book for those who want EVIDENCE... Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! "God: The Evidence" by Patrick Glynn It's a "National Bestseller"... A little bit of it...: "A startling transformation is takin place in Western scientific and intellectual circles. Recent discoveries in physics, medicine, psychology, and other fields paint a radically new picture of the universe and humanity's place within it. Central is the dawning realization that the cosmos, far from being a sea of chaos, appears instead to be an intricately tuned mechanism whose every molecule and every physical law seems to have been designed from the very first nanosecond of the big bang toward one single ebd-the creation of life. In this provocative book, Patrick Glynn lays out the astonishing new evidence that led him away from atheism he aquired as a student at Harvard and Cambridge. The facts are fascinating: Physicists are discovering an unexplainable order to the universe; medical researchers are rporting the extraordinary healing powers of prayer and documenting credible accounts of near-death experiences; and psychologists are finding that religious faith is a powerful elixir for mental health (as I said before...). God: The Evidence demonstrates that faith today is not grounded in ignorance. It is where reason has been leading us all along. ---------------------------------------------------------- "Underlying Mr Glynn's analyses is one crucial point, which is that Western intellectual life is undergoin a huge shift: It is finding room for God." - Wall Street Journal "A gripping tale, intellectually stimulating provocative." - Michael Novak "Full of bright insights, graphically decribed." - William F. Buckley, Jr. --------------------------------------------------------- PS: The book has about 30 pages of cited works. You will have fun with it...

I will show that Glynn presents no persuasive evidence for God and the soul. The evidence he puts forth can be faulted at every step, his arguments are weak, his presentation of alternative views is unfair, and his knowledge of the relevant literature is inadequate. In summary, Glynn's God: The Evidence presents no persuasive evidence for God and the soul. His evidence from cosmology, psychology, and medicine do not add up to an all-but-incontestable case. Indeed, the evidence he puts forth can be challenged, his arguments are deficient, his presentation of alternative theories is unjust, and his grasp of the relevant material is defective. http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/michael_martin/glynn.html
Q, A good link. One of my favorite websites but I'm not sure if I've seen that particular article before. Cris
