However, I think Lewis's writings generally reflect an interest in experimenting with ideas and sharing them, be it to Christians or atheists, rather than being a rigorous logician that refutes freethinkers (I felt he failed when he tried this in "Miracles" in refuting naturalism). C.S. Lewis remains high in my level of respect for him.</strong>

So you respect someone who "experiments" with ideas that do not hold up under logical examination? And when his experimental idea fails, what was its point?

I hear that C.S. Lewis regarded the Old Testament as mythical. [/QB]

AS did most of the church fathers it seems. Certainly Augustine thought it was trash.

I read "A Case for Faith" it was a joke. it purports to answer the tough questions posed by skeptics.

One of the questions is attempts to answer is "what happens to people that die before ever hearing of Christ?"

Answer: Don't worry about it. It's none of your business. Let God take care of it.

Really thats the answer it gives.

Heard today on NPR (they were interviewing Behe and his detractors): "religion is not a scientific experiment."
