An honest answer for a newbie, please.

I don't know if anyone is still paying attention to this thread but I'll throw it out here anyway. I can see that there are alot of self-proclaimed agnostics out there. Hey, I know where ya are, in many ways I still am an agnostic but on the existence of God I'm not anymore. One of the best arguments for the existence of God is probably 'Mere Christianity' by C.S. Lewis or 'The God who is there' and 'He is there and not silent' by Francis Schaffer. They're not exactly evc books but they do deal with proofs for God's existence. These really helped me when I was asking myself all kinds of wierd questions (you think you're agnostic? at least you know you exist!). I don't know if these would help, but if you want to hear a theistic argument, the other side, you really should read these books.Evan

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
