Geek confession …
When I was with the good people of Andover Newton Seminary a few weeks back, Dr. Sarah Drummond mentioned two science-fiction shows, Battlestar Galactica and Caprica that explore some interesting theological themes. Other friends had been telling me these were among the best shows on TV. Then, Sarah gave me BG Season 1 on DVD, and yes, now I’m hooked. (Thanks, Sarah!) I’ve also caught up on Caprica, which is in its first season. Like Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and other SyFy hits of the past, these shows are exploring some pretty interesting territory, including monotheism, polytheism, dualism, anthropology, and so on.
Also, on a geeky note, here’s a fascinating show from radiolab on human-ape interactions.
A cry from the heart for compassion, justice, peace, and equality in Gaza and Israel
"It is clear that the killing of over 1200 Israelis on October 7th of 2023 was unacceptable. But the killing of Palestinians after that
in the tens of thousands including women and children is not acceptable."
