Francis Collins argues that the 'Moral Law' poses difficult questions for atheism, but makes sense to Christians. Through this Francis came to accept the existence of God, and discover who Jesus really is.

  • try these, I reckon the first two are the best scholarship of the subject at the moment, but others might add more ideas. The last is a classic, and quite an easy read:

    long - The Resurrection of the Son of God (Christian Origins & the Question of God)

    by N.T. Wright

    quite long - Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospels as Eyewitness Testimony

    by Richard Bauckham

    short - Who Moved the Stone?

    by Frank Morison

  • The radical altruism arguement can be explained by a firing of mirror neurons in the brain, I think. Mirror neurons are of course what allow us to experience what others experience (e.g., when we see a person in pain, we may feel some emiotnal pain ourselves), and go a long way in explaining how we form a theory of mind. An intense firing by mirror neurons could probably explain radical alutruism.

  • IF god exists,enough said

  • William Lane Craig has also written extensively on the resurrection. For wonderful Q & A on a wide range of subjects you might find interesting perspectives in Questions of Truth by Cambridge theoretical physicist John Polkinghorne (and Nicholas Beale)

  • Thanks for posting this. I've always wondered how Francis Collins could be religious. While nothing he's saying is logical, I try to understand other people's trains of thought. I can't believe he just said there was evidence for a literal resurrection. Does anybody have any book suggestions that detail this evidence?
