Progress and Novelty

In my recent blog posts, I talked about my awesome trip to the Galapagos Islands with my spouse. Beautiful place. Beautiful pictures.

Thus, beautiful place, beautiful pictures, and beautiful read can cause one to think. picture ofContinue reading “Progress and Novelty”

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”

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 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”
