They're not exactly evc books but they do deal with proofs for God's existence.

So what are the proofs?------------------

There are quite a few, more than I could put on this forum. The combination of all three books would probably near 500+ pgs. To give you an idea, they deal with the problem of pain (i.e. why doesn't God stop bad things from happening), the existence or non-existence of morals in a philosophy (that's a confusing statement which means, why are morals important to a philosophy), why God doesn't suspend the laws of science (i.e. why isn't he more obvious?), & the reason why the Judeo-Christian God is the only one capable of meeting the requirements of existence. I'm sorry if I've had to be hard to understand, I don't know how I could fit all that info in a nutshell any other way. Read the books, they'll explain it better than I can. 'Mere Christianity' is a good book to start on, it's easier reading. And it's only $8 from Amazon. I can try to explain it if you want, but I think it might be better to read it (it's easy reading).Evan

Welcome, BambooGuy!
Those "proofs" all appear to presuppose that which is to be proved from over here....
And with that, I'll bow out of this particular discussion, as it's not of any real interest to me other than as an amateur psychologist.

This thread appears to have drifted considerably off topic. Unless someone can draw a connection back to the original question about where the first matter came from for the BB, the discussion about proofs of God should probably move to a new thread in the Faith and Belief forum. Any member can create a new thread.------------------
