Ok, I've heard about NFL in the past, and now I just visited their website
and found it to be quite intriguing. I don't have the time to read the
whole NFL/Ward debate, but it seems that this delves into a lot of
philosophical arguments, epistemology, fallacies, evolutionism, etc.
Does anybody on the list own the NFL book, and what do you think of it? How
do you rate it on a scale out of five stars? I'm curious to buy this book,
but if there isn't any useful information in it then I will feel that my
money will be wasted on this book.
Anyways for those who want some useful web tools, one of my atheist chums
has an excellent web search engine (like a condensed version of Yahoo) with
topics ranging from philosophy, bible links, religion, science, recreational
christianity, etc...

On the subject of Darwinism, I'm not really familiar with evolution, but it
seems like NFL is harping on Darwin for his "science" (for lack of better
words). I witnessed the same thing on television with the well-known
presbyterian minister Dr. James Kennedy attempting to debunk evolution by
ragging on Darwin. As far as I know, science is a process used to gather
evidence. If any mistakes are made in science, then those mistakes can be
corrected in the future. A lot of mistakes are made because scientists
don't have the tools available to provide evidence for an event that
occured. Does Darwinism really fully explain evolution, or has science
progressed since Darwin?
I'm impartial to evolution because of my lack of knowledge to it, or my
ignorance to it. Hmmm...time to add some more books to my reading list. :-)
