A friend of mine has started blogging. In his first entry, he shares his thoughts on the Church and psychology and the current tension between the two.
For years the Church has tended to deny that psychological problems really exist. Some have openly stated that psychological problems do not exist, only sin exists and that what some [...]
I had a dream last night – I was sitting in a church, listening while the pastor rolled off a diatribe against Hillary running for president and how we, as Christians, need to stand against her so that she cannot attain the office. What the pastor somehow managed to miss was that Hillary was actually sitting in [...]
Of course I drag my feet long enough in responding to this that the original source article is no longer available. But Tobias Buckell recently referred to an AP article that reported that 25% of Americans think that Jesus will return this year.1 To which I resond:
Why? What makes this year any different?
Now, granted, that quarter [...]
I’ve said it many times before: creationism is just wrong, and one group that should be fighting it hardest is Christians. They are letting a vocal minority usurp their religion, and if they don’t speak up they run the risk of letting those people speak for them. (Source: Bad Astronomy Blog)
Seriously? No, really – seriously?! The [...]
Man, I really hate falling under a label that seems to generate so much animosity and antagonism from folks in the scientific community – that being, in this case, Creationist (as opposed to the term ‘denialist’ that is also mentioned). It honestly makes it difficult for those of us who are genuinely interested in the study and [...]
Being a piano player myself, I’m always somewhat partial to music that makes primary use of my favorite instrument. I’ve also always been a sucker for slower, more lyrical music. So it should come as no surprise that I really like the music of Fernando Ortega. For Christmas this past year, I requested a few [...]
I stumbled across another interesting science blog yesterday, this one focusing primarily on Earth Science. In this entry, Chris Rowan makes a couple of statements that all scientists (especially Christian scientists) should take into consideration:
Furthermore, to properly interpret criticism you need a firm theoretical understanding of the theory you’re criticising.
This is one the primary reasons why [...]

I’m linking to this particular article for only one reason. I’ve considered writing about this for a little while now, but this quote was the catalyst:
Scenes like this make me proud to be American.
Popular sentiment, this one. And I suppose that’s ok. America is, after all, a nation [...]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen a noticeable shift in focus on my blogroll. A lot of the blogs I’ve been reading that deal with faith and spirituality issues have been thinned a great deal while my writing-related blogroll has expanded substantially. I’m actually rather amused by the shift because it says something about [...]
Eric Bailey has what may be the most profound statement on understanding faith that I’ve heard in quite some time. He recaps the story of Abraham and Isaac, the sacrifice commanded by God on top of that mountain, and Abraham’s unquestioning obedience. Eric also points out the impossibility of faith, the juxtaposition of two things [...]
