Loose ends before I leave this topic. While the process of evolution, both in life in general and human life specifically, has overwhelming evidence, the general theory of evolution is not perfect. And, as I said before, as a Christian, it would make my life more straightforward if the evidence pointed to a six-thousand-year-old earth…

So, here is the dilemma. The Christian Bible has language, if taken literally, that can be interpreted to describe a world where humans were created as fully human just six thousand years ago (Young Earth Creationist=YEC). There is also a rational understanding of Christian theology that requires humans to sin before any death can occur…

Now, I want to restate my purpose once more, so that there is no confusion. Here is the situation. In the world, there have been more than 8,000 fossil skeletons of “transitional” forms of humans, meaning a creature that is greater than apes (these creatures had larger brains than apes, walked upright, and made stone…

I began this series by stating that the issue of human evolution has profoundly changed, not just the scientific community, but the course of Christianity. I will continue making my case.

The Why There is a Different Opinion Christian and Evolutionary Biologist Looking Under a Rock to See What’s There Before I look at the evidence, let’s take a giant step back.

This will be devastating for our country going forward and we will not recover from this damage for many generations. Sadly, only a tiny percentage of Americans consider themselves Christian Nationalists. But this whole…

I have finished my series on the dereligionization of Jesus of Galilee. I have found many great writers, podcasters, and others communicating about the honest and straightforward teachings of Jesus, as juxtaposed against the religious interpretation as we see in the present political world in America. However, there are a few topics that I don’t…

One of the perks of living on a mountain lake, on a beautiful, and cool (compared to the heat in the rest of the country) island, we have a plethora of friends and family who want to visit us. I am therefore sorry that I’ve been consumed with these wonderful people. I must also add,…

I don’t usually do organized tours when I travel. One exception was in 2016. I had gone to Malta for almost a month to finish writing my book, Butterflies in the Belfry. I was staying in a five-hundred-year-old tiny stone flat that had started as an animal stable and still had a manger carved in…

Health Update A group of people come here primarily to follow my health status. I try not to post on that unless there is a change. I am at a crossroads with my cancer treatment. Multiple Myeloma is still considered an incurable cancer, although treatments are rapidly improving. I had failed four chemotherapies and bone…
