faith and science

I just got back from a cohort gathering with Regent Seminary on Galiano Island (I suffer so). It was probably the most intellectually stimulating experience I’ve had in years (maybe ever). They talked a lot about a God who speaks through two books. Needless to say I was into it. The speakers were brilliant, and those who formed the group possesed some pretty dense grey matter. At times I felt out of my element, but for the most part it was a blast. The theological affirmation I felt throughout the event was quite moving. I found myself trembling a lot. When I got home I told my wife that, while I’m not an academic, I do love dabbling in that world. Got a few great ideas for a sermon series on science this fall… and took a few nice photos!

I look forward to the science series. Not being either a theologian or scientist, I still have this gripping sense that the 2 fields are convergent and converging. After all, they’re seeking the same answers.
(I love it when you bring science, music and literature into your lessons. We’ll keep working on the math/structural allusions as per Godel Escher Bach!

Super shots! Must have been fun just to be in a locale other than Calgary to explore and to be around people who aren’t in Calgary too.

I love it when I happen upon things that inspire and stimulate me. It’s a great feeling isn’t it? Glad that you had the opportunity to mix minds with some real smarty-pants and that our church gets the benefit of that too!
