The "basic concepts of Christianity" is quite simple -- Belief in the salvation of one's immortal soul through the blood and sacrifice of a sin-less Jesus Christ as a redemption or "payment" of our earthly sins. Nothing at all "pagan" about it. And while the Bible does speak of man having "dominion" over planet earth, we are commanded to also be its "wards" and protectors. It someone chooses to worship Gaia and her trees (as does Al Gore), who can help him?

As for Hunt's church, he is a Bible (word of God) believing, uncompromising purist.

As far as your assertion of "standard theological attacks" upon evolution, apparently Oxford U. biologist Richard Dawkins should be refering to himself as Pastor Dawkins: "Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose...[Every cell either plant or animal, contains in it's nucleus] a digitally data base larger, in information content, than all 30 volumes of the Encycopedia Britannica put together."

I will not cite "Pastors" Behe, Colin Patterson, Klaus Dose, Sir Fred Hoyle and other prominent scientists who are either flabbergasted by their collegues blind obsessions, or the overwhelming and obvious evidence of a complicated "intelligent design" of life, as opposed to a random ultimate lottery.

Hmmm -- as for "paranormal activities? Both Hunt and the Bible freely admit to both malevolent AND benevolent versions. Read the book and discover ALL the machinations and dynamics....

Bon appitite my friend.

Almost no religion is developed in a vacuum, and the Mediterranean region was a hotbed of religions before and during Christ's time. Ideas such as a virgin mother, physical incarnation of the god as a pure being, the god dying and being resurrected, a betrayer close at hand, etc., had already been done.

Hit submit too soon.

That's scary. His equivalents on the Muslim side are causing a lot of trouble right now.

I haven't read his book, so I can't comment on it. But from what I have read, while I'd like to see the material, I am kind of hesitant to give money to someone like this. From my point of view, I might as well be buying a book from Mullah Omar.
