In the marketplace for Truth? Try Veritas, it's minty fresh

Hey everyone! There is a new link posted in my "Links" section. It's not porn or some slanderous article about American evangelicals (slander? Try BBC's Justin Webb). It is, however, the website for the Veritas Forum (Veritas is Latin for "truth"). This is what Veritas is designed to do:

To explore truth and life
To engage all students and faculty in an exploration of life's hardest questions
To enlarge the university’s marketplace of ideas
To present Christ as a viable option to life’s hardest questions
To inspire students to connect their academic and vocational life to Christ
To unite the Christian communities on campus in meaningful and compelling ways

**Justin Webb's article is interesting. I was going to comment on it, but decided to just post a link to it and let form your own opinion. He is wrong in regard to a number of things: 1) Evangelicals are very complex and difficult to understand, a few statistics and general conclusions can't cover the range of beliefs (religious, political, social, etc.) that we hold. 2) His worldview restricts him from understanding what science is really about, I'll comment on that at another time. While I'm not all that offended at his writing, it just goes to show that the wisdom of God is folly to those in unbelief. It encourages me to be a better Christian, friend, student, and scientist.
