I will be away over the next week and want to write a quick post. I have been reading through Nicholas Spencer’s book titled, Magisteria, which is a wonderful book discussing the history of science and religion.  I recently read through Chapter 13 titled “Peace and War.”  In this chapter, a quote from James ClerkContinue reading “A Great Maxwell Quote”

Our seminary (Northwind Theological Seminary) had its recent book club for its graduates interested in process theology / open & relational theology. We discussed Dr. Andrew Davis’s recent article in Zygon, titled “Extraterrestrial Metaphysics in Process Perspective: Implications of Our Anthropocosmic Nature.” The article is open access, and the link is here. The article isContinue reading “Theology Journal Club!”

I have started a Sunday school series at my church based on my work on the intersection of the microbiome and theology that led to the writing of my book, “A Theology of the Microbiome.” I have been asked to do this series for a while, but I have been hesitant as I believe discussingContinue reading “We Want Religious Certainty: That is a Problem”

In the issueContinue reading “The Idea of lim Δ and the Logic of Cellular Life”

I say “slowly” because it is often hard for me to find time to read for pleasure. This book is surely a pleasure. Currently, I amContinue reading “Morality Musings”

I am going to be out of town for a couple of weeks, so it has been somewhat difficult to put a post together. However, I did provide the sermon today for Wasatch Presbyterian Church. I am a member there. My sermon was titled “Faith and Love. Faith and Science.” I have included the sermonContinue reading “My Sunday Sermon”

Lately, I have been reading through the book, Magisteria, by Nicholas Spencer. It is quite long (467 pages with the index), but it is easy to read and loaded with excellent information. The book is about the history of the interaction between science and religion through human history. It literally covers almost every aspect ofContinue reading “Physico-Theology”
