Amazing how some atheists come around the closer they get to meeting their Creator...

And another potential thousand plus post thread exits the womb...
I like the mention of C. S. Lewis at the end. He is my favorite author.
It is also nice that he brings up one of my favorite points. To wit, that a book written thousands of years ago and has quite a bit to say about creation, still cannot be refuted by modern science. Oh, peoples interpretations of it can be, but it cannot. Kind of like it's prophesies...
Cool.

"This is the creature, the evolution of which a truly comprehensive theory of evolution must give some account."Someone needs to tell this 81 year professor from Oxford University that the Theory of Evolution does not speak to the issue of origins, therefore it must not, and cannot, be held accountable in this regard.

Well, as ones life becomes more and more mortal, one usually finds themself spending more mental energy on the subject.

AT 81, he may not have much time left to make up his mind whether he should follow up on his realization of a deity.

C. S. Lewis used to be an atheist. He finally concluded, and documents his reasons, that it is the most logically unsupportable position to the point that he did not believe there was really any such thing as an atheist, no matter how much someone would claim to be one.

I tend to believe that if the only thing that is keepine a person from accepting Christ is their intellect, then they are, in fact, probably destined to become a Christian.

Perhaps he's hedging his bets?

Atheism is a religion too. To say you know there is no God is logically the same as saying you know there is.

and as more and more thinking intellectuals are discovering today And that is the key phrase. The brain-dead ones still cling to a theory only a real idiotic or and religious fanatic could believe in.
To: wolfpat
Wow. What a succinct way to put it. I've had raging arguments with atheists on FR on the impossibility of atheism.
You summed it up in a single sentence.
Generally, I get riled and ask them to lay out their proof for me so that I can have my Sunday's back.
I never get a response, but my approach isn't half as elegant as your summation.

does not speak to the issue of origins, therefore it must not, and cannot, be held accountable in this regard.
If the Theory of Evolution states humans evolved from another species, it most certainly speaks to the issue of origins.
