How to see a miracle? Miracles 1

Last updated on: June 28, 2023 at 2:54 pm By Ted Peters

The Science-as-Savior Eco-Myth

Last updated on: May 5, 2023 at 9:39 am By Ted Peters

The science-as-savior myth coined two plus centuries ago by Europe's Enlightenment has resurfaced as an ecological myth. Like ancient cosmogonic myths in which the gods establish the authority of the king, this new eco-myth crowns the world's scientists as our king. I recommend that we de-mythicize the eco-myth and approach the challenge of the eco-crisis with moral and practical resources. Read more

Abortion access for women’s health? What about the baby?

Last updated on: March 1, 2024 at 9:21 am By Ted Peters

Children, Guns, and Abortion

Last updated on: April 11, 2023 at 12:44 pm By Ted Peters

The public debate over children, guns, and abortion seems confusing. Republicans allow living children to die so they can profit from sales of military assault weapons. Yet, Republicans want to protect yet-to-be-born children from abortion service providers. Democrats want to protect living children from assault weapon murderers and from Republicans. Yet, Democrats to not protect yet-to-be-born children from abortion service providers. Can someone explain these apparent contradictions? Read more

Afterlife? Really? What are the options?

Last updated on: April 16, 2025 at 5:45 pm By Ted Peters

The axial religious breakthrough--giving rise to Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Greek Philosophy, and Biblical Religion--ran head on into transcendence. This transcendental confrontation precipitated the advent of the human soul. Now, we ask: is this soul immortal? What happens after death? Is there an afterlife? Read more

When God raised Jesus from the dead on the first Easter, God promised to raise you and me at the future advent of the New Creation. Like a seemingly dead seed buried in the ground, our dead body, soul, and spirit will sprout and flower into a soma pneumatikon, a spiritual body in God's eternity. That's the Christian promise.
