Future of Christianity in US

[watchamadoodle]

robvalue and watchamadoodle: I think that Josh McDowell's Evidence Demands a Verdict book contains arguments that show Christianity is reasonable. There is too much there to summarize here. I understand that an argument exists that Judaism and Christianity evolved, but I dont think it is convincing. If you ask how can supernatural entities observe and influence natural entities without being noticed by science? For example, there are plenty of scientists who notice miracles and believe them. Those who dont believe in the supernatural will never observe it.

I added that book to my wishlist, but the author seems to be an evangelical apologist who is trying to help evangelical readers overcome their doubts. Most of the questions McDowell seems to address are not interesting to me. For example a book addressing in detail the question of how Santa Claus eats all those cookies on Christmas Eve is only interesting to Santa Claus believers who are losing faith.

It would be interesting to discuss definitions of supernatural and models for the interface between supernatural and natural. I've noticed that people are often vague when discussing woo. They like to argue that woo might exist, but they don't like to define woo or guess how it lives with non-woo.

BTW I sometimes believe in woo. I don't mean to ridicule the idea of woo. I just think too many people want to believe in woo without thinking about it at all.
