dsv, I'm almost done with "the case for a creator," now... thanks for that! I'm really impressed with Strobel's attitude... he's very fair, and doesn't presume authority, but allows the authorities to speak, which I like. He's a wonderful exception to my creationist experience with the likes Josh McDowell and Kent Hovind, who are really mean, which just makes me want to stop listening. I read "darwin's black box," and I'm still having trouble distinguishin ID from deism, which just seems to me like more spiritually speculative aethism.
Tranquility, thanks for those articles.. i've browsed over ICR and AIG, but was overwhelmed with how many articles there were, so thanks for giving me a starting point.
