This post is a quick dip into process philosophy and process theology. The Bible has many verses talking about the purpose of God placing the moon in the heavens. Psalm 89:37: “It shall be established forever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven”. Psalm 8:3: “When I consider your heavens, the workContinue reading “The Moon is a Metaphor for Process”

The Sine Wave of Belief
Lately, I’ve been doing some reading about metaphysical belief systems. We all are metaphysical. Even if one doesn’t believe in God or “the supernatural” (often poorly defined), one’s lack of belief is still a metaphysical system. I would argue that we are all metaphysical in our thought process. We often find ourselves searching for theContinue reading “The Sine Wave of Belief”
Entropy and Theodicy, Part 2
In my prior post, I provided a discussion as to why I think we should consider that evil explored in theodicy likely should only be explained as “natural evil”. I provided some research / references suggesting that organic brain disease seems to describe why people often cause moral evil. Thus, moral evil is physically justContinue reading “Entropy and Theodicy, Part 2”
God and Society
I have been working my way through We Have Never Been Modern by Bruno Latour. Early on, I came across this quote: “No one is truly modern who does not agree to keep God from interferingwith Natural Law as well as with the laws of the Republic. God becomesthe crossed-out God of metaphysics, as differentContinue reading “God and Society”
Answering an IRAS Listener Question
I had a great time doing a talk for the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS) last week. I was expected to put together an accurate and comprehensive lecture, and I appreciate the audience attending the lecture who asked me hard questions. Hard questions are always good in science, philosophy, theology, andContinue reading “Answering an IRAS Listener Question”
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”
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”
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”
