[BEST BBC ANNOUNCER'S VOICE]: In the meantime, here (http://cis.org.uk/resources/articles/article_archive/mcgrath_rsa_lecture.pdf) is some light reading.
Oh, that was delicious! Thank you! Reminds me that I must get back to reading Life’s Solution.
Do you yourself ever experience that intellectual panic when encountering something that could whip the rug out from under your beliefs? I do. I dunno how well I fight it down.
"Do you yourself ever experience that intellectual panic when encountering something that could whip the rug out from under your beliefs? I do."
Ah... Let me see now... Yes, that would sum up roughly the period of my life from stretching 1986 to 2000, in a nutshell. =:o\
Before that I'd spent a few years building a nice, solid, logically consistent theology and doing my best to live in accordance with it. I had the advantage of being at university most of that time, living either on campus or in shared christian homes, almost never having to encounter anybody with views radically different to my own or situations that would in any way challenge them. Then one day the real world suddenly showed up and bit me, hard.
These days I'm a lot more easygoing about taking everything I "know" with a pinch of salt. At the end of the day, I think God's a lot less concerned about whether I can pass a spot quiz on things he may or may not have said or done, than that I remember to share my toys with the other kids and to give him a nice big hug every now and then. =:o}
