Welcome, Jack; I like healthy debates myself. I personally got interested in apologetics almost 20 years ago, watching videos by Kent Hovind. I don't agree with his exclusivity stance on the King James Bible, but otherwise I think he's very smart. Another man I respect is Frank Turek, founder of the website CrossExamined and co-writer of the 2004 book "I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist".
