I thought I would send out a quick post before I head out to Canada midweek to go salmon fishing in Canada. I will be fishing around Blackfish Sound which is seriously away from most of civilization. I did this same trip with friends 2 years ago. Blackfish Sound is an incredibly beautiful place toContinue reading “Beauty, Death, and God”

In my last post, I discussed the metaphysical possibilities of panexperientialism existing between the gut microbiome, small intestine, and skeletal muscle in the perspective of maintaining a healthy microbiome.

In the setting of the microbiome, human immune factors such as IL-6 areContinue reading “Panexperientialism: Objective and Subjective”

There is a great new #openaccess article in Gastroenterology that explains why exercise makes the microbiome healthy. It is titled, “Exercise, the Gut Microbiome and Gastrointestinal Diseases: Therapeutic Impact and Molecular Mechanisms” by Hawley, et al.

There are some early potential intentional burial sites noted at Qafzeh Cave (Israel), Tabun Cave (Israel), and Tinshemet Cave (Israel) that were made by Homo neanderthalensis, HomoContinue reading “Ancient Homo Species and God”

In fact, I am an academic physician, so administrative timeContinue reading “Would a Static Universe Change Your Perception of God?”

The graduates from the seminary that I attended for my degree have a book club / journal club every 2 months or so. We do the book club online. The attendees have different backgrounds and experiences, and our getting together is a fun, intellectual time. We are meeting this week and will be discussing twoContinue reading “Theology Book Club”

Recently, I have heard several Youtube lectures / podcasts in the world of progressive Christianity that concern me greatly. I consider myself a progressive Christian. What does this mean? Here is my personal definition: I accept Jesus Christ asContinue reading “Progressive Christianity and the Risk of Pseudoscience”

Short post today. I am heading out to the Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyoming tomorrow for a several-day conference on open & relational theology (ORTCON25). This is an annual event for those people interested in open & relational theology as well as process theology. This resort lies within the Grand Tetons. This year, IContinue reading “Quick Post for Week & Panexperientialism for Heart Transplant?”
