Alas. Well, I can at least console myself that I got to be part of @Dan_Eastwood’s parade. I’ll leave it to the reader’s discretion to decide which emoji they think I am.
want to talk about your book?
Pretty sure they’ll take away my author’s card if I say ‘no’ but also genuinely I’d be happy to and thanks for asking!
If anyone is not aware, the book is Faith across the Multiverse. On that page you will find links to excerpts hosted here. There are also discussion threads for a number of the chapters if we want to relocate the discussion to any of those or the Side Comments thread. For best results, please tag me or reply to something I wrote so I know where the chat is happening.
Briefly, the book is an attempt to illustrate how science provides something constructive to Christian theology–namely, words and concepts that can be used to enrich our metaphorical vocabulary for discussing God–rather than just seeming to take things away (e.g. God did not create that way or this miracle can be explained via physical processes). It may or may not also be an attempt to get more people to read Squirrel Girl and Ms Marvel comics.
If that’s not your cup of tea, I am also always happy to chat about my blog posts over at Emerging Scholars Network. My most recent post was on global epistasis in the context of antibiotic resistance, based on this paper by Juan Diaz-Colunga, Alvaro Sanchez and C. Brandon Ogbunugafor.
And while I’m at it, I’ll remind folks of my constructive neutral evolution simulation, inspired by the X-Men Danger Room but rebranded as the Quandary Den to avoid unwanted attention from Disney lawyers. There are threads for that here and here; the latter representing more recent work. Perhaps someone would like to pursue developing it further as a tool for research or education?
