My university doesn't carry Richard Dawkins books... but it carries entire sections of random theology books(about 3 times as many as philosophy). Yeah I am whining but it annoys me. Thoughts?

That is interesting. What University are you attending (if you don't mind my asking)?

It's a christian university. University of Mary Hardin Baylor. It really sucks being an atheist and all. I wasn't accepted to UT Austin or Baylor University so I had to attend my backup university

Um.... doesn't that explain why? "christian science" does not include evolutionary biology so no Dawkins. The answers most christians would want would probaby be found in those random theology books.
Science: taking all avalible evidence and coming to the most logical conclusion with that information.
Christian science: Having the answer you want and disregarding all evidence that does not agree with that answer.

May I suggest you to go to the chemistry library (if there is one) and look for Peter Atkins' divulgation books (not the inorganic chemistry or the physichal chemistry). It's not Dawkins but it is really great too.
