re: #695 John Neverbend

Plantinga’s father taught at Calvin, and both of his sons are professors there. While I believe that the ontological argument doesn’t work, it’s a clever enough construction that it’s worth thinking about it. I’m a thoroughgoing neo-Darwinist, but I do think that the debate about God’s existence needs to continue, albeit with suitably qualified speakers.

I agree. Much of my current thinking was influenced by a married couple who are both professors at Calvin and wrote a book on this thorny topic called Origins- a Reformed Look. One of them is a Harvard-trained Phd in Biology and the other is an MIT-trained Phd in Astronomy so they know that the earth is not 8,000 years old, but they are both strong Christians. Interesting stuff.
