Benjamin Wiker is a Roman Catholic writer from Ohio, with a doctorate in
theological ethics from Vanderbilt. He's also a fellow of the Discovery
Institute and author of a recent book from IVP, Moral Darwinism. (I've
gotten into an argument with him about how he badly misread Newton and the
early modern atomists in that book, incidentally, but that's not the subject
I'm suggesting here.)
I think the following article (which apparently will have at least one
sequel) may be worth discussing:

Because Ben's book is from IVP, it will likely be widely read by
evangelicals. There he strongly promotes a "natural law" view of ethics,
while attacking atomism and other forms of modern science as inherently
atheistic. This is likely to become a heated converation among Christian
intellectuals, so I suggest that those unfamiliar with this work remedy that
state of affairs.
