This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

A Biological Parable
One heart cell is talking to another. He remarks that the activity of their home, the rhythmic vibration, the way everything interacts, is a clear mark of design and purpose. Isn't it clear that their world was made by God? The other cell insists that this is not a necessary assumption. The mechanics of everything that they experience in their home can be explained by blind, purposeless order. Their lives, as their home, have no purpose. Of course, the truth is subtler and more complex than either realizes.
