I was going to write about the incredible world of biology. While I have a graduate degree in biological sciences, I only know the thin margins of all the mind-blowing processes that enable life to exist, reproduce, adapt, and thrive. But I’m afraid that if I get bogged down in that discussion, I will lose…

I will be clear once more, I am not writing this series on what the second book of God, nature, can teach us about God to prove God’s existence. While objective evidence for or against God’s existence is crucial, you can neither prove theism nor atheism with certainty on objective evidence alone. To restate my…

Waiting for chemo this morning, I thought I would quickly write an article about finding God in mathematics. Not being clear-headed and having newbies ask me how I got to this point, I found myself rehashing my entire story for the umpteenth time. When I read it later, as I am now, it sounds like…

Did I not present the topic interestingly?…

The Second Book of God Suppose it is true, as I believe it is, that God is known via two books, and one of those books, the rational examination of nature, is banned by organized religion; the resulting concept of God is out of balance and inadequate. This is what I found in my own…

The Parable of the Absent Father and the Two Books Imagine that you are a small child and your father must leave you in the hands of guardians for a long time, say, twenty years. Perhaps it is a prolonged war on the other side of the globe, or a mission to establish a settlement…

After six busy months, I just uploaded the latest installment off my series, The Healing Hut. Come along on this journey as this novice attempts to build stone cottage from scratch as part of my battle against blood cancer (posted below). Please also see my apology below the video. I apologize that my last post…

Disharmony has been one of the greatest plights in human existence. We hear it now in America: “Divisions and hatred are tearing America apart.” But what is the root of divisions, and what is the cure? How does the Christian really find and promote peace? The Progressive Christian Approach One approach by the progressive Christian…
