Select contemporary issues of theology, philosophy and cosmology seem conflicting to pros and ordinary people alike. How can Biblical issues of Genesis be correlated with Big Bang theory and evolution with theistic creation? Gary Clifford Gibson examines many of salient issues even published physicists blunder about in fields beyond their usual professional occupational interests concerning philosophy, theology, and history misleading to the public today. The author regards problems even theologians stumble upon; such as. when the tribulation occurred (in the first century a.d. or to be announced), Adam and Eve, the time-line of Genesis, the Biblical flood and Multiverse theory.

The question of God and cosmology is far from abstract. In fact, the subject raises the deepest questions of human existence: “Why is there something rather than nothing?” Or, to put it more personally, “Why am I here?” Structured as a debate, the 2014 Greer-Heard Forum focused on the issue of God and cosmology and its impact on life and self-understanding. Christian philosopher William Lane Craig and atheist cosmologist Sean Carroll presented their views before a packed crowd of more than nine hundred people. Spirited, civil, and often humorous, the debate highlighted not only their positions, but the full range of possibilities. In this volume, the content of that debate is reprinted and supplemented by a range of reflections by other conference presenters. The purpose of the Greer-Heard Point-Counterpoint Forum is to provide a venue for fair-minded dialogue on subjects of importance in religion and culture. The goal is a respectful exchange of ideas, without compromise.

Ambitious, controversial and absorbing, God and the Universe tackles the highly-charged issue of God's relevance in the light of new scientific thinking on cosmology. Engaging with poststructuralism, ethics, mathematics, and philosophy through the ages, this persuasively argued book reinvigorates religious debate for the new millennium.

The short stories and novellas are among my earliest science fiction works. Writing in Alaska in 1987 I made a couple of trips to Europe while enrolled in an English writing course at the University of Alaska at Juneau. Most of these stories were written at or at least mention Wrangell- a small town 150 miles to the south of the state capitol at Juneau. 140,000 words.
