ELF    I'm not real familiar with Pascal's religious beliefs, but Kant, Aquinas,
and Plantinga are (or were), I do believe, Catholic first of all.

    I can't speak for Pascal, not being real familiar with his religious
beliefs, but I assure you Kant was no kind of inerrantist, his very concept of
God was so different from the normal Christian's, even of the Catholic faith of
his time, that he was a Christian in name only. The Church toward the end of his
life forbade him to teach.

     Hegel has about as much in common with any modern American inerrantist as
did Kant, which is to say nothing much except the name.

    Plantinga although tending toward a type of literalism of biblical
interpretation is not an inerrantist in the American tradition, and I suspect
his views of such topics as Adam and Balaam differ significantly from yours or
your church's.

    Craig is a shill with a degree who runs away from qualified opponents. Check
the infidels web site for the story of his sudden cold feet when he found out he
was going to face Doug Krueger.

¡Salud!
