Scientific genius may trade in sober objectivity, logical proof, and rational explication, but true to its intellectual origins as a… Thu, 15 Mar 2018 12:43:37 EDT Ed Simon c84a70ed-9493-4190-905e-eda5b67d6e46 https://religiondispatches.org/2015/08/14/orthodox-they-come-backstage-conversation-rob-bell Rob Bell is on the move. In 1998, as a 28-year-old evangelical pastor in Michigan, Bell founded Mars Hill Church. The community swelled into a megachurch, and Bell gained a national reputation among evangelicals anxious about their ability to reach… Fri, 14 Aug 2015 05:09:29 EDT Andrew Aghapour, Michael Schulson 25a0ad6f-e77b-4065-818b-dce626ec0f26 https://religiondispatches.org/2012/07/09/it-blasphemous-describe-science-magic Depends on what you mean by magic.

Some of them we compose, but they comprise the conditions in which we are composed. Theological entanglement is a form of what’s called ‘relational theology.’ Entanglement is meant to give a more physical, and spooky edge to our interconnectedness. This isn’t just about the apophasis of an infinite God, but about the element of unknowability in all of us—as creatures made in the image of the unknowable.” Wed, 02 Nov 2011 05:52:38 EDT Beatrice Marovich 05d3a37e-8b74-4888-863b-40ae0718e4e4 https://religiondispatches.org/2011/10/10/news-flash-god-has-revised-laws-physics Subatomic particles break the cosmic speed limit—will theology catch up?

In a warren of rooms, its scientists pursue interests from quantum computing to theoretical cosmology. The diversity says much. As a tree of knowledge, modern physics has branches that shoot off in… Thu, 29 Jul 2010 08:09:15 EDT Mark Vernon 250cfc11-3af1-4e99-875c-10a7f6c4c8bb https://religiondispatches.org/2010/05/16/einsteins-religion-darwins-agnosticism A new book by Krista Tippett, host of NPR’s “Speaking of Faith,” furthers the heartfelt intervention in the culture wars that her show represents.
