The Metaphysics of Telomeres

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”

You Can’t Cheat Death but You Can Cheat People

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”

The Moon is a Metaphor for Process

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”

American Religious People Must Oppose the Nomination of RFK, Jr.

I hate being political on my blog. However, this post is not really as political as much as it is religious. This post is about the importance of medical science. Specifically, my post is about the importance of vaccines and how we need to get the correct message out about how safe they are. ByContinue reading “American Religious People Must Oppose the Nomination of RFK, Jr.”

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”

Quick Post About Science and Society

I am typing this blog post on January 20, 2025. Besides today being a national holiday for most of us in the United States (MLK Day), we have had a presidential inaguration. Many citizens of my country (including me) have a sense of foreboding here about our new president. Outside of voting, I can’t doContinue reading “Quick Post About Science and Society”

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”

Teaching Science to Fundamentalist Communities

I am a huge fan of the American Scientific Affiliation (ASA), and in fact, I have been a member of the ASA for over 20 years. The ASA is a collection of scientists (broadly defined) who are also Christian. Although I am speaking from a Christian perspective, the work of the ASA is parallel toContinue reading “Teaching Science to Fundamentalist Communities”
