Welcome

This blog (started 27 Nov '18) examines questions about science and religion and uses the evidence from the works of God in scripture and the works of God in nature to provide answers. Scientism (faith in science) and theism (faith in God) are contrasted, with emphasis on the fact that both fields of knowledge are works in progress. For example, scientists exercise faith as they pursue the Holy Grail of physics, a Grand Unified Theory (GUT) or Theory of Everything (TOE) much as theists exercise faith in pursuit of greater spiritual knowledge. Revelation from God may seem more rare than breakthroughs in science but most of what God says is personal while secrets gleaned from nature are published for the whole world to see.

About the author:  This blog is managed by Richard Wilkinson.

Having voraciously read all the books in the house as a child, he began buying books as a middle-schooler with the few nickels and dimes he could save. Later, the tiny town nearby started a small library in the hallway outside the Sheriff’s office, allowing him to pursue his love of literature more broadly and less expensively.

For practical purposes (primarily financial) Richard pursued an information technology career, picking up a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Software and a Master’s in Business Administration along the way. From writing code to specifying business requirements and composing business communications of various kinds, Richard has had his share of keyboard cramps and mouse elbow pains over the years. Now that he is retired, Richard has more time to enjoy reading fiction and to dabble in writing nonfiction that is neither compulsory nor employment-related.

Richard is the author of Creation: Theory and Theology:
