Thoughts on faith, reason, the Bible, evolution, and living the Christian life while still raising questions about how it works and what it means.
Grave Robbers
This 150-year-old debate over evolution can flare up in all kinds of places. Sometimes the issue gets wrapped into a court case, a school board election, and sometimes things play out in the media. Bill Nye ignited the controversy recently by making a video blasting creationism. Answers in Genesis offered an underwhelming response video and […]
Hitler Again?
April 12, 2013
For 10 years, I engineered and helped produce a Christian radio program for children. I followed the industry and went to a national conference in Texas to hang out with others in the Christian radio scene. I found some common interest with other engineers and younger Christians, but found many of the older broadcasters to be […]
Television and Determinism
October 9, 2012
It’s been exciting watching my friend Nelson (Nelly’s Echo) compete on NBC’s “The Voice” this season. Unlike American Idol, The Voice is not live. Nelson went away to tape the show during the summer, and the series started in the fall. By the time the shows started airing, he was back in town. When his […]

Some of the concerns raised, such as Adam’s appearance in certain genealogies […]

Adam, Eve, and the Fallout
September 4, 2011
The buzz generated by the Christianity Today article examining recent questions about Adam and Eve apparently caught the attention of NPR. They produced a segment that used many of the same sources, condensing much of the same material into eight-minutes of audio. Both stories cover the dialog taking place among some evangelicals concerning whether or […]

C.S. Lewis
August 7, 2011
I’ve previously mentioned C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) as an example of a notable Christian with an evolutionary view of life’s history. I find it interesting that his name is so often evoked by critics of evolution. The Discovery Institute, the think tank which leads the Intelligent Design movement, loves Lewis and publishes a quarterly journal all […]

I'm a recording engineer, husband, father of two awesome little girls, and a Christian. Aside from music and art, I like to read, over-complicate things, raise questions, and search for answers.
Here is an introduction to this blog:
