Franics Collins

[athrock]

So this wonderful minister gave me his own copy of Mere Christianity, Lewis's slim tome that outlines the arguments leading to his conclusion that God is not only a possibility, but a plausibility. That the rational man would be more likely, upon studying the facts, to conclude that choosing to believe is the appropriate choice, as opposed to choosing not to believe.

I have heard numerous Muslims make the exact same line of argument with respect to Islam and the Quran,  So, why didn't Collins become a Muslim?  Per his own testimony, he decided to "give his life to Jesus" while walking:

All that Collins' conversion demonstrates is that a person can be brilliant in one area while a complete imbecile in another.

Either way, he wasn't going to remain an atheist because, as a rational man, he had examined the arguments and concluded that a god exists.

The fact that he chose Christianity suggests that he may have been persuaded by CS Lewis' reasoning in Mere Christianity.

Have you read it?
