The God of Faith and Reason - Foundations of Christian Theology by Robert Sokolowski, Introduction to Christianity by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI and Reasonable Faith by William Lane Craig are great intro works.
G. K. Chesterton's books are also really good if you want something more apologetic-esque. If you're catholic, I'd also recommend Bishop Robert Barron works.
Once you're done with these basics, I'd of course start reading the classics. Start with Augustine's Confessions and work your way up there through other patristics works (St. Basil of Caesarea and St. Athanasius, mainly), St. Anselm of Canterbury and finally Aquinas.

I enjoy the work of a young theologian named Lawrence Feingold, an atheist of Jewish descent who converted to Catholicism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpcLFhuH3-k

He has published one book (afaik), and also has a fine series of recorded talks/theology lessons. He is a very clear, excellent teacher.

The overall theme of the lectures is The Mystery of Israel and the Church. Each "lecture series" is made up of 10 or 12 separate talks. It's basically a complete course in Catholic theology.

Lecture Series 01: Themes of Salvation History (https://www.hebrewcatholic.net/01-themes-of-salvation-history/))
Lecture Series 02: Themes of Faith (https://www.hebrewcatholic.net/02-themes-of-faith/))

So I recently got into Jay Dyer and Orthodoxy and the idea of taking Genesis to be literal. Some arguments are decent but I really can't grasp the outright denial of evolution. Darwinism obviously has some faults but I can't wrap my head around evolution being false of unprovable.

Can anyone recommend me some power houses of the anti evolutionary argument? I'm genuinely willing to give the idea a chance but I know if I try and search for it I'll find some people way out of their depth.

>> No.16327048

>>16326992
'Evolution' as currently posited is obvious unscientific bullshit if you know anything at all about statistics and probability.

So, I guess any stats/probability textbook will do. It will be a hard read, however, if you're not mathematically prepared.

Fair enough. In all honestly I've just always held it as fact as it seemed apparent. I'm willing to question that world view but I'm worried I can easily be swayed into believing some bullshit like flat earth. Even me comparing it to that shows how difficult of a time I'm having trying to "undue" this world view.
