Kalam and Islam

I thought this was a very good article about the different approaches to the same destination (knowing God) and that much of the technical debate is often irrelevant to the necessities of being a person of good character and submission. Also, the idea that rather than needing to park your brain to have faith that Islam is a thinking person's religion and requires reflection and investigation.
My favourite line: The statistical probability of the confluence of just these numbers is, to borrow the expression of astronomer Hugh Ross, about as likely as “the possibility of a Boeing 747 aircraft being com-pletely assembled as a result of a tornado striking a junkyard”.
You can find the article here.
