Evolution and my Conversion

This excessively long post is actually an e-mail that went out to a group of earnest ladies wading through Nancy Pearcey's book: Total Truth. It was in response to the origins debate within and outside of faith circles. I am posting it because it came up recently with a new friend at my church. She is highly educated. She works at a prestigious hospital in Ottawa and knows more about physics than I ever will. She's struggling with aligning the Biblical narrative (Ahh.... narrative or historical? Therein lies the rub) and her understanding of the age and origin of the cosmos. So here is my unedited list of resources for anyone also struggling with this weighty and implication-heavy topic: Written: On Aug 10, 2017, at 9:54 PM, As per tonight’s book club ramble mostly by me : Here are some links that have helped me grapple with creation.

Dad was a rivet boy on the bridges in Toronto at 6 or 7. Boxing for prize money at 11 or 12, i

The Forth bi-annual Kidd Road Piano Recital

We had an age range of 8 years old to 92 years young at the recent Kidd Rd piano recital. The Van Boys, as they are known, have started taking lessons from the amazing Yulia Brenar, and you can tell. I am very thankful for musical parents, neighbours, teachers and friends who have loved and supported my kids, and to my long-suffering mother, who made be practice and talked me off several ledges through this journey that is taking piano lessons.

Salamanders

Saved from an untimely "death-by-lawn-mower" accident For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities, his eternal power and divine nature. Romans 1:20
