evolution part 1
I'm reading this 1000 page thing on evolution... preparing for the christmas season where family gets together and ultimately argue topics ranging from world powers to religion.
First off... this book is the most anti-evolution book... not only that but it compares evolutionists to witches, pegans and spiritualists.
Something interesting (which I've never considered before) is the idea that "survival of the fittest" is what our economic model is based.
After all, if we can show a principal stands to create something as complex as us... we should be able to use it to manage our society.
If we absolve that and adopt a "everyone is created equal and special" ideal... or a "we must do everything in our power to make the world in gods image" or something remarkably similer; I wouldn't be suprised if our standard of living drastically changed.
Some interesting thought come along with this; I'll try to layout more as I get factual evidence etc.
The most remarkable is that I'm infavor of creationism... while my actualy standpoint on God is sorta questionable.

After that, read "A Case for Christ". This guy was the editor for the Chicago times, an investigative reporter, and a true, dyed in the wool atheist. His wife turned to Christianity, and he decided to investigate. The book is basically a very interesting.. case for Christ. It's like he's presenting to a judge and jury, evidence and all. The result? He actually became an ordained minister I believe. It's pretty amazing.
