New CFSI Post

My newest post for CFSI is up. It is loosely based on why a word-for-word interpretation of the scriptures is, very often, a bad thing.

The CFSI site will continue to operate, just with limited funding so I will continue to write for them, but perhaps more erratically. Please keep coming by the site to see what is there.

New Post Up at CFSI

My new post is up at CFSI. It is called Can You Practice a Science You Don't Believe? and deals with the question of whether or not you can practice science with integrity and deal honestly with the evidence and yet not believe the results it provides. As always, comments are welcome.

New CFSI Post Up

My new post for the Center for Faith and Science International is up.  It deals, in considerably more civil fashion, with the Ken Ham/BioLogos issue that I wrote a little bit about in the pages here.  As always, comments are welcome.

New Post Up at CFSI

My post on the Historical Adam is up at CFSI, here at “Kidder's Korner.” It deals with the different interpretations of the Edenic passages and the problems that the study of modern human origins posits for the traditional evangelical position.

CFSI Developments

The Center for Faith and Science International is undergoing a web page makeover, which Rob Zimmer says will go live in the first part of April. That is when the next post by yours truly will go up.

I just turned in my latest BioLogos post which should go up shortly. It is on the adaptive radiation of the early australopithecines.

New Post at CFSI

My new post is up at Center for Faith and Science International. It briefly covers the evolutionary evidence of the transition from dinosaurs to birds and the evidence of marsupial radiation. Next, I will touch on the evidence from genetics.

New Post for CFSI is up

My most recent post for the Center for Faith and Science International is up. It, and the next two will cover different kinds of evidence for evolution.

Center for Faith and Science International

I have started writing regularly for the Center for Faith and Science International and am adding it to my list of sites on the right hand side. Rob and Reuel are still in the process of populating the site but it has quite a bit of really good content and new stuff is added daily. My next post should be up in a week and some.

Rob Zimmer Reviews The Science of God

Rob Zimmer, over at the Center for Faith and Science International, has given The Science of God by Gerald Schroeder a much more positive spin than I did. He writes:

The book of Genesis suggests an age of 6,000 years based on a clock which began ticking at its present rate after the universe had expanded into its present size. The initial 14-15 billion years of the universe’s birth and expansion would have equaled only 1/100,000 of a second today. The key point here is that our present rate of time, with a week equaling seven 24 hour periods, is the proper rate of time following the early expansion of the universe when the rate of time was a million million times different. At this “modern rate”, the biblical account of six 24 hour periods of creation seems correct and supported by modern cosmological evidence when, and only when, the two time scales are considered.

As I said in my review, I liked the physics section quite well. I am not able to completely evaluate it but as nearly as I can tell, it has empirical support.
