Darwin Quiz
I made a quiz for NewsUp that ran on Darwin’s birthday. It’s a little online fun aimed at separating fact from fiction concerning Darwin’s life and work. Try it out let me know how you did. www.newsup.me/life/fact-or-fiction-charles-darwin
Nye/Ham Debate Pt1: Biblical Assumptions
February 14, 2014
It was cool to see that the Bill Nye/Ken Ham debate drew such a huge amount of attention and was viewed by an estimated 3 million people. Americans remain interested in the subject, and hold a diversity of views that don’t all fit neatly into the two positions represented at the debate. According to a 2012 Gallup […]
Where does theistic evolution lead?
August 25, 2013
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?

Apparently science education materials sometimes get it wrong and kids can be misled. My wife and I just bought a […]
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 […]

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.
