I’m about to start an inpatient call week at the hospital. Such weeks are always busy, so I likely won’t be able to write for the next 7-8 days. When one thinks about process philosophy, it is best to think of reality as change itself. In other words, I may not concentrate on considering matterContinue reading “GI Science, GI Training, and Process”

In the short time that I have had my DThM degree (Doctorate of Theology and Ministry), I have realized that writing about theology can be quite hard. You must know the theology, but you also must have some background in philosophy. Since I am interested in the intersection of science & faith, then I mustContinue reading “If Not The Multiverse?”

Graduates of my seminary (Northwind Theological Seminary) have been doing an on line book club for a while. It has had a few incarnations during its existence, and as we start revving it up again, we are reading journal articles instead of books. This past week we reviewed “Is a Process Form of Ecstatic NaturalismContinue reading “Ecstatic Naturalism and Time”

I recently read the article, “On Questioning the Design of Evolution” by E. V. R. Kojonen in the latest issue of Theology and Science. Unfortunately, it is not an open access article, but perhaps you can find it somewhere for your reading. In many ways, the article is excellent. The article discusses the weaknesses ofContinue reading “The Ultimate Flaw in Intelligent Design”

In light of the recent measles outbreak in this country, I once again am so glad that vaccines exist. I am a pediatrician, specifically a pediatric gastroenterologist, and I deal with many terrible illnesses, including many preventable illnesses. Vaccines are a medical miracle. Not much more can be said. I do get occassional comments onContinue reading “Vaccines are Good and Evolution is Still True: A Religious Perspective”

An interesting article was recently published in Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith (December 2024 edition). It is titled “Models in Christianity and Chemistry: Truth or Utility” written by William Wood PhD. Articles in PSCF typically become open access through the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA) website one year after they are published. So, you willContinue reading “Models and Theology”

My country (the United States) is just going through a weird / awful / bizarre time. Even if I keep the politics out of the discussion, the anti-science movement in my country is truly insane. It always has been a problem in American churches, especially since the 1900s. Christian fundamentalism has hurt science, hurt religion,Continue reading “Helping the Other in Weird Times”

Today is Sunday, February 9, 2025. Although I live in the states, I will not be watching the Super Bowel today. I actually like sports, but I hate long infomercials. The Super Bowl is definitely the penultimate form of infomercial. So, I went to a bar and danced with my spouse last night, went toContinue reading “The Metaphysics of Telomeres”

I get particularly angry when fraudsters cheat people out of money, especially when the victim is older or has a mental processing disorder (dementia, for example). Fraudsters are everywhere — at work, in our neighborhoods, and in our religious or social groups. Fraudsters are great at convincing people to excessively worry about issues related toContinue reading “You Can’t Cheat Death but You Can Cheat People”
