Religion - Let's Really Get Things Stirred Up

We have not had any posts on the blog in a month. In my continuing effort to foster debate, I would like to introduce another controversial topic on which I know my opinion differs with almost everyone on this board.

This link is from a Time Magazine article written last year (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1555132-1,00.html). It is a summary of the debate between Richard Dawkins, a high profile atheist, and Francis Collins, a well-regarded scientist (mapper of the human genome), and avowed Christian.

I personally consider myself an agnostic, even though I know that Nym believes that is just a cop out. However, I love reading and discussing this issue, and, in particular, I think both of these guys make some interesting points. The article will take about 20 minutes to read so plan accordingly.
