On Writing I have completed four queries for my new novel, The Agony of a Woman, and sent them to agents. I am working hard to complete the stonework on the cottage before winter’s cold rains arrive. But it is time to pause, catch my breath, and write. I want to write a conclusion to…

I have been writing for more than fifteen years about the fact that religion, and specifically Christianity, is dying. While I feel no one within the church is listening to me, the reason I write is for those with one foot out the back door, trying to make sense of things… and there is sense…

I’m writing this as I’m going out the door and without proof-reading. Yesterday I posted that the finding of extraterrestrial life will be the forth major scientific find that will cause the Christian religious groups to further their war on science.

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 World We May Want As Christians, most of us would prefer a world where there is absolute agreement between the straightforward interpretation of…
