Unpack my thoughts...Let's see. ...Greetings, Dan. Unpack my thoughts...Let's see. I have been a Christian (or tried to be) for about 35 years, with attendant peaks and valleys. I was saved in the tail end of junior high school, along with a friend of mine who lives out in San Jose and runs his own blog. My theology hews more toward the Reformed Presbyterian mold, although I have attended everything from Lutheran to Pentecostal churches in the past. I also hold a Ph.D. in anthropology with a emphasis in human palaeontology, which is the field in which I have (irregularly) published. My study of biology, the fossil record, ecology and palaeontology has led me to conclude that the synthetic theory of evolution, devised in the 1930s and 1940s by Dobzhansky, Mayr, Simpson, Haldane, Pearson, Goldschmidt, Wright and some others and then augmented by Eldredge, Gould, Van Valen and others, best explains the diversity of present and prehistoric life and can be used to model current populations predict what one will find in the fossil record. How's that.Jimpithecushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10143519573877156940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-8211235756049399042008-06-29T08:13:00.000-04:002008-06-29T08:13:00.000-04:00Greetings James,As a fellow lover of a our God and...Greetings James,<BR/>As a fellow lover of a our God and this world, I am interested in your 'about me' section. You use many words which people assume to know the meaning of, however I was wondering if you would unpack your thoughts on what you mean by 'Christian', 'palaeonthropologist' and 'evolutionary'? This will give me enough to think about and respond to.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13407246609234546853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-71815830112121559822008-06-20T23:38:00.000-04:002008-06-20T23:38:00.000-04:00Should be working ... must of just been the World ...Should be working ... must of just been the World Wide Wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19722540.post-57222041507195858292008-06-20T20:54:00.000-04:002008-06-20T20:54:00.000-04:00I clicked on the link and the video is no longer a...I clicked on the link and the video is no longer available.
