Peter Kreeft

Andrew at Bound by Gravity had a post the other day that I should have responded to by now. I don't know if I'll get to it before the end of the week, but I will get to it. In the meantime, I offer a link to Peter Kreeft's website. Kreeft is a professor of philosophy at Boston College and a Catholic apologist. He is a fan of C.S. Lewis, and not a bad writer in his own right. He offers extensive but accessible Arguments for God. I like the Argument from First Cause, and the Argument from Conscience. I also find the Argument from Desire compelling, but it is a very personal type of proof. Just a little something to chew on, that's all.

Here's a few things that got my attention this past week. Chris Taylor is blogging once again and has recruited an air force for the Red Ensign Brigade. Heh. Dennis Prager asks, Are you a liberal? Anglicans and Catholics are getting closer to reconciling -over the role of Mary in the Christian faith. Quote: A working group c...

Ghost in the machine

In writing up this post I have to mention that I am very impressed with the quality of discussion that one finds on blogs. This truly is a remarkable medium. Thanks go to all three of the bloggers mentioned here for providing such good reading and thinking for the rest of us to try and learn from. I have not had a chance to read all of the entries linked to here, but I do intend to. ***** George Will compares two views of man in his latest column . One is novelist Ian McEwan, who places the following words into the mouth of the leading character in his latest novel, Saturday : Endless and beautiful forms of life, such as you see in a common hedgerow, including exulted beings like ourselves, arose from physical laws, from war or nature, famine and death. This is the grandeur. And a bracing kind of consolation in the brief privilege of consciousness. This character is a neurosurgeon. The quote reminds me that there may be some truth to the observation that those in the biological and...
