Christianity, Evolution and Digital Universes
()
About this ebook
This volume comprises essays I wrote considering philosophy, theology, cosmology and hermeneutics of the post-Darwinian era. I wrote through a decade when insights inspired. Much of the work was presented in my earlier work; God, Cosmology and Nothingness. I found it simpler to write a new work including new material than to publish a second edition of my earlier work.
A paradigm of disbelief in God is the basic attitude of establishment left-corporatism in the U.S.A. today. In my opinion that point of view relies on data about 160 years old is anachronistic. Not all Christians today view the Bible with the popular scientific naivety of the mid to late 19th century.
