In catching up on my blog reading, I have noticed that Victoria has a blog, The Light Fraction. Victoria is a member of my home parish, St. Athanasius Orthodox Church in Lexington, Kentucky.

I have been reading her blog with quite a bit of interest, since she is an intelligent, articulate thinker — and very sensitive to aesthetic realities. Prior to meeting Victoria and her husband, Suketu, my experience of scientists led me to believe that they were very highly technical and quite oblivious to aesthetic concerns. Victoria and Suketu are both unique individuals whose friendship I value highly.

It is always with great interest that I listen to their professional and informed opinions on the question of cosmology and origin science. Back in February, Victoria posted about evolution and Christian faith, inspired by the ironic legislation recently passed in Georgia. She followed it up with articulate responses to specific questions and objections raised in the comments of the original post.

I first became interested in cosmology and origin science when, in my collegiate Old Testament class, I realized that a healthy understanding of the initial chapters of Genesis cannot support a fundamentalist interpretation that excludes modern science. I myself have posted about this before, in “Teleological Evolution” and “More Origins Stuff”.
