Dawkins' Delusion
Book Review by: Fiona Grooms, graduate student in philosophy at St. Louis University
In the space of thirty two pages, Richard Dawkins summarily
refutes, to his own satisfaction, two thousand years worth of arguments for the
existence of God. His treatment of each of the arguments is so cursory that it
would take a good deal more than thirty pages to begin to explain how Christian
philosophers have understood these arguments. For Christians who have read and
been dismayed by Dawkins’ The God
Delusion, I can offer three sorts of consolation.

 Mere Creation: Science, Faith and Intelligent Design
Book Review by: Dr. Ray Bohlin
Unseating Naturalism
An unprecedented intellectual event occurred in Los Angeles on November 14-17, 1996. Under
sponsorship of Christian Leadership Ministries, Biola University
hosted a major research conference bringing together scientists and scholars
who reject naturalism as an adequate framework for doing science and who seek a
common vision of creation united under the rubric of intelligent design. The
two hundred participants, primarily academics, formed a non-homogeneous group.
Most had never met each other. Yet virtually all the participants questioned
the reigning paradigm of biology—namely, that natural selection and mutation
can account for the origin and diversity of all living things.{1}
