More About Me

I'm passionate about

The reconciliation of science and religion

An idea worth spreading

Because we are technological animals the evolutionary process will operate upon our species in a particular way that applies to all technological animals: We must be good stewards of the life-supporting environment or we will be naturally de-selected for perpetuation. Survival of the good steward is survival of the fittest. In the history of Western Civilization, evolution and how it will apply to the human species was first taught in the New Testament Gospel. This is the logical conclusion of any reasonable person who studies the Gospel as a scientific document rather than as being restricted to moral philosophy or religious or moral doctrines.

Talk to me about

People don't know that I'm good at

Examination of the Gospel message as a scientific document using the two principles and the five questions (see website, or Religion for Adults video).
