Thoughts on faith, reason, the Bible, evolution, and living the Christian life while still raising questions about how it works and what it means.

Where does theistic evolution lead?
So where is this heading? What kind of Christians accept evolution, and how does it affect their beliefs? Do they all deny Adam, original sin, the doctrine of inerrancy, divine intervention? Do they even accept the virgin birth and bodily resurrection of Jesus? Before any of these questions can be answered, a few points should […]
Grave Robbers
April 16, 2013
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 […]
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 […]
The Search For The Historical Adam
June 28, 2011
The cover story in Christianity Today this month is called “The Search for The Historical Adam“. Writer Richard N. Ostling did a good job of introducing the scientific problems facing the idea of a first human couple and gave a useful summary of the debate. Check it out.
At the Church Library
May 13, 2011
At church recently, one of the pastors asked the question “Do faith in God and science contradict?” Immediately I was jabbed in both sides. My wife on my right and my youngest sister on my left each felt the need to elbow me and tell me to calm down, even though I was sitting peacefully, […]
Truth or Consequences
February 16, 2011
Debating evolution can be interesting, even fun – but sometimes I get a little frustrated when people try to make it about all Nazis or other unrelated stuff. It seems that some prefer avoiding the science and arguing that Darwin led to the Holocaust, racism, and even school shootings. These are bogus claims to be […]
Letter To Kevin
April 29, 2010
This is my response from a long conversation with my new friend Kevin about evolution, Genesis, and other questions. I’m just posting the end of the correspondence, without his questions and our talk about Muse and U2, but it’s enough to get the idea. – – – – – – – – – – – […]
The Bible Study
April 26, 2010
When my brother-in-law Curtis asked me if I could fill-in on piano at his Baptist church one Sunday I gladly accepted. I’ve played in church since I was eleven years old, so that was nothing new. What I was most interested in was attending their Bible study before the church service. Curtis was studying hebrew, […]
Repeating Biology
April 24, 2010
If you looked into the creation/evolution debate recently, you were probably examining a different set of evidences and arguments than those in the 1980’s, the 60’s, and during the Scopes Trial in 1920’s. I looked at this issue at several distinct points in my life, from different angles as different discoveries and advancements were being […]
Why This Is Here
April 23, 2010
Welcome to my blog. I plan to discuss various topics centering around theology, philosophy, and science, and I hope you can join the conversation. I’ll be starting with a series of posts exploring evolution and the surrounding debate from the perspective of a thoughtful Christian. I have read extensively on the issue, and I have […]
