About Quintessence of Dust
Quintessence of Dust is on a long-term hiatus while I pursue new professional directions. However, new writing projects are in the offing in 2013, in collaboration with some old friends. The description below applies to the blog as I created it in 2007.
Quintessence of Dust explores issues of science and Christian faith, focusing on genetics, development, evolution, neuroscience, and related topics, regularly discussing intelligent design, creationism, and other scientific issues that worry evangelical Christians. My main theme is scientific explanation.
In regular posts ("Journal Clubs"), I discuss a recent article in the scientific literature. Additional topics: theology, philosophy, baseball and Shakespeare. For basics on my perspectives, see my post on common descent and explanation. My very first post has a little more detail about the blog, and my second one explains the name.
