@cctman Thanks, good idea to read the writings of the best thinkers on all sides rather than spend decades of your life working them out from scratch only to find the ideas were written centuries ago. Save time and grief. Try " Reason driven life " by Robert M. Price for a best start. Richard Dawkins recommends to study all the evidence, read all the Bible. Actually there are many better books to read than the Bible. Bible contains a malware virus. For morality try consequentialism.
@zytigon OK... when your done then try Matt Slick, Ken Ham, William lane Craig, John MacArthur, Phil Fernandes, James White, Greg Bahnsen, Shawn McCraney, Jason Lisle, Henry M. Morris, John Warwick Montgomery, G. K. Chesterton, T. S. Eliot, C.S. Lewis, Isaac Newton, Johann Kepler, Robert Boyle, Lord Kelvin, Louis Pasteur, Michael Faraday, and Clerk Maxwell... Just to name a few.
In the former USSR1917-92 atheism/evolution was taught daycare-university. The Bible was banned&it was illegal to teach it to kids. Within months of the fall of the USSR in 92 the Bible&Creationism was reintroduced in Russian schools. The main one behind it was Olga Lutsenko&she was an atheist then. Death threats caused her leave in 96&she lives in Canada&is aChristian now. BTWshe is on youtube&Isupport her work financially.It's amazing to me how fast Christianity came back to Russia&USSR FYI.
See both sides of the argument, try Robert M Price,'The reason driven life', Dan Barker, John W. Loftus, E.A.Wallis Budge translation of, 'The Papyrus of Ani' (1500BCE comp O.T.800-300BCE ish), Donald A. Mackenzie,' Egyptian myth and legend', James G Frazer, 'The Golden Bough', Thomas Paine, Mark Twain, Joseph Wheless, Robert Ingersoll, C.Dennis Mckinsey, Victor J Stenger, Bart Ehrman, Gary Greenberg, Richard Carrier, David Mills, Valerie Tarico, Ken Humphreys, archaeologist Israel Finkelstein
I cannot help but to laugh at every argument in favor of the supernatural, none of the mentioned have any connection to anything that can be called supernatural and much less have any connection to anything we could call a god, and moreover, what makes him think its his particular god of the thousands that all religions of the world believe in? Like seriously, its like saying, A B C Z, where's D and the rest?
