This is such good chick lit omg. Thank you for giving me my interest in reading back!!! I love the characters so far!

I enjoy Dennett but he's pretty technical when it comes to science...especially given evolution is a topic I'm not that interested in to begin with. Well-- I guess as the stereotypical humanities student, comprehending STEM doesn't come easily! Still, it's worth it, Dennett makes interesting points...

Dennett is delightful to read-- perhaps he's even more skilled at making philosophy accessible than Plantinga. However I don't always agree with Dennett-- as a determinist, I'm right with him on that path, but as a theist, it's difficult for me to reconcile my views. Nevertheless, another great read so far.

I got to about page 130 of Tooley before the math started. Being pretty bad at AP Stat and math in general, I skipped over the section with intense probability calculations with the hope of coming back to it at some later point. Tooley's arguments are compelling but he's no Plantinga. He's very scattered and not nearly as precise. On to the response papers! Thoroughly enjoying this read!

I jut finished Plantinga's first essay in this book which was one against naturalism and I'm solidly convinced by each one of his reasons. I'm not sure what kind of theist I am but I certainly don't prescribe to naturalism after reading this. Not that I was ever so inclined but this just made sure of it. Plantinga is also humorous and a great writer. Love him.

I put off reading this for so many reasons but I figured the curiosity would kill me if I didn't read it and see for myself if I liked it...

What beautiful writing...what's your secret Virginia?
