When I first starting looking into origins, and listening to Atheists,
my faith was really shaken. What saved me first of all was reading
Francis Collin's book (an evolutionist and evangelical Christian). Then
finding ASA (scientists who are actually Christians). Funny thing, as I
study more about man and ape, the more I see in the difference and the
more I learn about humanity... which leads more to the "made in the
image of God" thing. It is incredible to reflect on how far we are
above the animals.
Teach an ape to communicate. What does it say? Does it want to talk
politics? No, it just says "give me a banana" or "tickle me." Not much
there... in the brain! That was what I learned from an unbelieving
biologist.

This list is always challenging and stimulating, but it seems like we're
usually criticizing something. I'd be interested to hear from the many
of you who've wrestled with these questions longer than me, what
strengthens your faith in Jesus? What are the core things that cause
you to identify with Christ? What do you focus on if / when doubts
arise?
