LINK: evangelical outpost has a great link explaining one of my favorite philosophical arguments of all time, Plantinga's attack against naturalistic evolution. There's nothing I love quite so much as an argument that looks like it can't be turned (unless that argument is van Inwagen's argument for incompatibilism, then I hate it with every fiber of my being).
Hmm. That non-sequitir might just be a segue. Joe, if you're reading, you're obviously well schooled in your philosophy, but I don't recall an at-length treatment of compatibilism/libertarianism/determinism, which seems particularly important if you want to, say, preserve moral judgments within a Christian framework. I have some thoughts which might appear sometime soon.

that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
