I just got an email from Dr. Denis O. Lamoureux, my principal theology professor during my years of university education. I did some contract Photoshop work for him a while back, related to some illustrations for a book (a demonstration of evolutionary mutations in chicken wings was one of them, and another had to do with how the ancient Babylonians imagined the world was shaped -- this is relevant to interpreting Isaiah's mention of "the circle of the earth").

As you can imagine, O Reader, the book deals with the philosophy of evolutionary creationism, which I think affords us the most accurate understanding of just how God went about creating the world and all that lives upon it.

That book — Evolutionary Creation: A Christian Approach to Evolution — has finally been published, and I should be getting my copy in the next day or so. And I encourage the good Reader to order a copy as well, as it is a must-read; an excellent analysis of how and why Christian theology and the discoveries of evolutionary biology are compatible and complementary, and not at all in conflict with one another.

Too cool!
