(Which I am trying to finish now.) I am about to start the Orthodox Messianic equivalent of seminary, and I was hoping that I could come to the people here for help in my research, as I'm worried that the science classes will be heavily biased and possibly contain misinformation. I want to really address both sides of the issue, and I know I need to discuss things with both sides in order to use as unbiased an approach as possible.

Secondly, read Dawkins for biology (he's not so great with anything else), and check out Hitchens and Harris for religion, Dan Dennett isn't bad either imo but not everyone is a fan of DD.

It's good you are trying to answer questions you have, be careful what material you choose, but keep up the search and don't be so fast to give up your belief.

"Be careful what material you choose"? Really GC? You're so bloody pathetic.
