    Public or private revelation?

    I am copying this from my other thread. it is a subject that deserves its own discussion: I said…. “I don’t understand why people are not shouting about the science of Eucharistic miracles from the rooftops. I accept the magisterium, but I have never understood the ambivalent attitude to...

    So what evidence satisfies you?

    Science finds it easy to deal with “things” that have no free will to cooperate or not. You can perform a repeat of a test , or look for what repeats in nature, then observe behaviour , look for a pattern, find it or not. The behaviour is codified in experimental laws , and attempts are made...

    The bottom line - what do we really know?

    When people speak of evolution, they discuss complete organisms and family trees. Fossil record and such like things. An assumption of common descent rather than multiple independent pathways. They speak of molecular biology mechanisms of inheritance. They speak of mechanism of genetic...

    Over simplistic threads on salvation.

    Too many threads follow a logic “ its salvation by faith” as if nothing else matters, or as though “ faith” renders works “ unnecessary” using “ either/ or “ logic. One or other. The problem with all threads like this is disagreement on the meaning of words, so no surprise a different...

    Question. Is extracting wind power causing some climate change problems?

    From efficiency Wind farms take ( say) 40- 50 % of the available power. A plausibility argument: Wind is part of what is cooling land. So with less wind , the land WILL be hotter. That heat is part of the climate change problem. so is wind power extraction - at best unreliable - causing...

    Speculation on Early life…. What do you think?

    There are no right or wrong answers to this. For everyone it is speculation / belief. I am just curious to know what people think. Many think the product of abiogenesis ( or creation) was a minimal living organism, then evolution took over to produce the life we see today. I am talking to...

    Fatima - The difference between "love" and "adore"?

    I am drawn to Fatima. I spend a lot of time there, indeed I bought a villa not far away. Not just time at the Cova, but I also spend time at Cabeco, the place of the angel apparitions. One thing I do not understand in the messages of Fatima. The prayer of the angel before the marian...

    Politics from the pulpit.

    I'm at a loss to know what to do. I almost walked out of mass the other day at the homily because I despair of being fed a diet of left socialism. Later in the post, I identify what it was specifically that made me almost walk out. But a little background first. I get the fact that the...
