God in Time

I’m going to link to my recent book again (“A Theology of the Microbiome“, SacraSage Press). I do this 1) because I write about these issues in detail in the book and 2) I need to market the book (right?). In my book, I go into detail about process theology which is a theological modelContinue reading “God in Time”

Another Tiny Cut in Academic Medicine

*Death by a Thousand Cuts First, I want to be positive, and I want to talk a bit about my current work in theology. If you have been reading my blog, you know that I am very much into stimulating the artistic / subjective part of the brain since much of my life is centeredContinue reading “Another Tiny Cut in Academic Medicine”

RFK Jr. and Evolutionary Disadvantage of Ignorance

*God is sorrowful I’m a physician and a theologian at this point in my life. I have a medical career at an academic medical center. I also have a DThM for which I have done some writing, including on this blog. One part of my career is mainly objective (medicine) and one part is mainlyContinue reading “RFK Jr. and Evolutionary Disadvantage of Ignorance”

The God of Strings

I’ve been a fan of Peter Woit out of Columbia University for some time. I know almost nothing about theoretical physics, but his critique of this field is of interest to me. In many ways, he feels a bit Popperian in that he can be disdainful of physics that have no ability to ever beContinue reading “The God of Strings”

Galapagos via Eden

This is my second post about my recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. I have been wanting to write more on this blog, but my schedule is very busy at work. I am working on an upcoming lecture (which appears to be a big deal — more later), and I am in the starting stagesContinue reading “Galapagos via Eden”

The Galapagos: Use and Disuse

Well, it has taken me some time to get back to the blog. I recently have spent 9 days out in the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador). If one is able to go visit this wonderful place, please do it. There are so many things that I could write about regarding ecology, biology, and geology of thisContinue reading “The Galapagos: Use and Disuse”

Bohm (the Person) Confuses Me

I was doing some side reading on Bohmian mechanics a few days ago. Now that my book has been published, I have been asked to do a few talks. In such a setting, I want to understand quantum mechanics a bit better. I comprehend the concepts, and I can do some (and by “some”, IContinue reading “Bohm (the Person) Confuses Me”

I Received a Comment

My little blog is linked to Medium and Substack. I’m gaining some followers. I don’t have many, but a small number is fine as 1) I am using these platforms to practice my theology writing after my DThM degree (which is becoming a fine hobby for me) and 2) I appreciate the concept of time.Continue reading “I Received a Comment”

Misinformation in the Church

As I stated in my last post, my good friend from college visited over the weekend. He has been a journalist in the past although he migrated to a new career rather recently due to the collapse of the local newspaper as seen in many parts of our country. As we sat down to lunch,Continue reading “Misinformation in the Church”
