Deism and Nihilism

I’m taking a course at my university on religious studies and we have to write a research paper on any topic that relates to religion. I was thinking of doing Deism or Nihilism and I was wondering if anyone could help me get started with their thoughts or a website or books I could read.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism

Those are sites are good for general knowledge of the two, I suggest you read both of these.

Some good books on are "Nihilism: A Philosophical Essay" by Stanley Rosen or "Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age" by Eugene Rose.

Deist books in general are easier to find but one good book on the subject is "MIND OF GOD: THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR A RATIONAL WORLD" by Paul Davies. It is a great read because it sumarizes the many religious beliefs of scientists.

Hope this helps .

Re: Deism and Nihilism

Here is a workshop on Deism and you might want to dialogue with Travis there. Here is very knowledgeable in Deism.
