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”

Theology Ends Up Matching the Science, Part 2

It’s been a busy and emotional week, so I am going to write a short post. I had to fly across the country for a relative’s funeral. I then have had an old friend of mine visit from Texas, and I have wanted to entertain him WHILE I have worked this week. Anyway… I wantedContinue reading “Theology Ends Up Matching the Science, Part 2”

Theology Ends Up Matching the Science

I have been working my way through Michael Abril’s Evolutionary Theology which is a great book. I’m “working my way through” only in the sense that I often have a limited free reading time outside of work. In his book, he talks a bit about Pierre Louis Moreau de Maupertuis (1698-1759) who was a veryContinue reading “Theology Ends Up Matching the Science”

I Spoke at Church this Sunday

Luckily, I was not asked to give a sermon! However, Pastor Irene asked me earlier in the week to say some words about what my church (Wasatch Presbyterian Church, PC-USA, Salt Lake City) means to my family. By the way, as my recent book points out (hint, hint, if you want to buy a copy):Continue reading “I Spoke at Church this Sunday”

Science, Truth, and Religion

I listened to a fascinating podcast this weekend in which Professor Harry Collins from Cardiff University was interviewed about truth in science. I highly recommend the listen. Simply put, science primary goal is to look for the causes of things (observation). The causes may be broad (epidemiology); the causes may be minute (biochemistry of ATP);Continue reading “Science, Truth, and Religion”
