A Review of My New Book is Out!

A friend of mine sent me a short article regarding how scientific research is having problems in the United States (if not worldwide). I need to write my opinions on that well-written article soon. As an academic physician, I see such problems frequently. This article will probably be discussed in my next post. However, aContinue reading “A Review of My New Book is Out!”

My New Book Is Out!

After a few years of being an adult learner and while working full time, I was able to recently complete a DThM (Doctor of Theology and Ministry) degree at Northwind Theological Seminary.

More importantly, I love his writing style. If I could emulate him in terms ofContinue reading “Reading Some Gould This Weekend…”

I was able to attend an on-line meeting of the American Scientific Affiliation this weekend. The ASA is a wonderful organization for Christians who work in the sciences. I have been a member for many years. Francis Collins was the guest speaker, and I think about 30+ people attended. On a personal note, I sentContinue reading “Listening to Francis Collins”

The Demarcation Problem

I’ve been reading through Sean Carroll’s well written article on ArXiv about his concerns surrounding Karl Popper’s “falsifiability” argument to separate science from non-science. Awesome. However, I wonder how much he is leaning on the problems of “falsifiability” in the setting of Everettian interpretation? Carroll is a proponent of this “many worlds” interpretation. I amContinue reading “The Demarcation Problem”
