God and Society

I have been working my way through We Have Never Been Modern by Bruno Latour. Early on, I came across this quote: “No one is truly modern who does not agree to keep God from interferingwith Natural Law as well as with the laws of the Republic. God becomesthe crossed-out God of metaphysics, as differentContinue reading “God and Society”

Smolin’s (et al.) Universe that Learns

I’m a big fan of Lee Smolin (at least of his layperson works). Two of his books, The Trouble with Physics and Einstein’s Unfinished Revolution, are books that I have checked back on many times. He may not want to admit one this aspect of his work in that I think he can do metaphysicsContinue reading “Smolin’s (et al.) Universe that Learns”

Answering an IRAS Listener Question

I had a great time doing a talk for the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science (IRAS) last week. I was expected to put together an accurate and comprehensive lecture, and I appreciate the audience attending the lecture who asked me hard questions. Hard questions are always good in science, philosophy, theology, andContinue reading “Answering an IRAS Listener Question”

Process Theology and Potential

I recently gave a talk to the IRAS (Institute on Religion in an Age of Science) as part of their monthly lecture series. I spoke to this organization because 1) it was free (so no stress about being paid for content), 2) it is important to utilize the liberal arts part of one’s brain, andContinue reading “Process Theology and Potential”

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”

God in Time

I’m going to link to my recent book again (“A Theology of the Microbiome“, SacraSage Press). I do this 1) because I write about these issues in detail in the book and 2) I need to market the book (right?). In my book, I go into detail about process theology which is a theological modelContinue reading “God in Time”

RFK Jr. and Evolutionary Disadvantage of Ignorance

*God is sorrowful I’m a physician and a theologian at this point in my life. I have a medical career at an academic medical center. I also have a DThM for which I have done some writing, including on this blog. One part of my career is mainly objective (medicine) and one part is mainlyContinue reading “RFK Jr. and Evolutionary Disadvantage of Ignorance”

The God of Strings

I’ve been a fan of Peter Woit out of Columbia University for some time. I know almost nothing about theoretical physics, but his critique of this field is of interest to me. In many ways, he feels a bit Popperian in that he can be disdainful of physics that have no ability to ever beContinue reading “The God of Strings”

Galapagos via Eden

This is my second post about my recent trip to the Galapagos Islands. I have been wanting to write more on this blog, but my schedule is very busy at work. I am working on an upcoming lecture (which appears to be a big deal — more later), and I am in the starting stagesContinue reading “Galapagos via Eden”
