God freely chose to create this particular world, objectifying it by way of manifesting certain of His thoughts as a particular set of abstract truths (mathematical and metaphysical) which underly this world and from which this particular world is shaped. And He brought those truths into creaturely being by way of decisions which were freely … [Read more…]
If we Christians do not view paganism rightly, to see the truths it contains in its higher forms and to see why it fails to ascend to the true God, we will fail to understand ourselves, fail to understand God in His transcendance and immanance, and also fail to see the re-paganization of the world … [Read more…]
I decided to go through with it. I’m not going to spend a lot of time right now re-learning html and perl, let alone learning python, ruby, or php. My website will basically be a text-oriented set of writings, including some pages which will display samples of my unpublished books. So now I just want … [Read more…]

Well, I might have found a way to use emacs to post to my WordPress blog, but it’ll be a little ugly until I write some code to do it smoothly. All I do is copy the text out of the file and paste it in the edit box on my WordPress installation. The annoying … [Read more…]
My second try on this post after computer problems. As I argued in “To See a World in a Grain of Sand”, speculative thought is necessary to create the worldviews, or lesser intellectual systems, which make sense of even revealed truths. Good speculative thought is also an imaginative, even spiritual, effort. And modern people are … [Read more…]
Well, I’ve been burned by the crappy standards the computer industry has accepted because of Bill Gates’ desire to become wealthy even at the cost of destroying American minds and the American computer industry. I use Netgear wireless transmitters to connect to my sister’s broadband connection and Netgear, along with an open-source, group supported by … [Read more…]
Messed up WordPress and now I’m starting fresh. I was thinking about using WordPress as my site-manager but something went wrong.
