LAFSF News:

Los Alamos Faith and Science Forum presents: The Orthodox Church, Faith vs Knowledge, A look at St. Isaac 7th Century By Father Jesse Robinson.

This presentation will ask the questions from an Orthodox Christian perspective: Are faith and science really so opposed? How are they meant to be ordered? What end are they meant to serve? We will examine teachings of Orthodox Christian Fathers, with specific emphasis on the writings of the great ascetic of the 7th century, St. Isaac the Syrian.

Fr. Glenn: Gratitude For Freedoms

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Well, we hope you have a joy-filled, fun and safe Independence Day on this long weekend for many. A lot of people protesting this year because of a Supreme Court ruling not going the way they preferred, but one of the biggest things we celebrate on this annual holiday is our freedom TO protest; many people around the world do not have that freedom, and would be brutally crushed and persecuted should they dare even speak against the government. Remember Tiananmen Square? And neither can many peoples travel either abroad or within their own nations without official permission, Read More

Los Alamos Faith & Science Forum Presents Patrick Berg, MD, Maj, USAF On The Origin Of Life Wednesday June 29

In 1802, William Paley published his famous watch analogy in Natural Theology.

He reviewed the complexity of human anatomy, as well as animals and plants, based on scientific understanding at the time. Seeing complexity far beyond a watch in plants, animals, and human anatomy, he concluded that there is a Creator.

Paley’s idea was not new. From the Read More

Fr. Glenn: Back And Forth

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Let’s see … did anything notable happen this week? Hmmm … let’s think.

Ah, yes … the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health/Roe v. Wade overturn by the Supreme Court—celebration for some, infuriating for others. But, no matter which side one falls on, we know one thing for certain: it is not the last we’ll hear of the debate; quite the contrary. Because of the extreme polarity of the division, it will be a battle that will likely go on—as it already has—for decades (centuries?) to come.

The Dobbs decision is an interesting (rather long) read as it goes through the reasoning of the court. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Days To Celebrate

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Saw a great headline the other day: “Justice Sotomayor praises Clarence Thomas as a ‘friend’ who ‘cares deeply about the court.” While the Justice admitted that she and Justice Thomas disagree most among all the Justices about constitutional issues, she expressed admiration his concern for people nonetheless. Imbedded in that story was also: “Sotomayor and Thomas’ friendship is not unique among Supreme Court justices. The late Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia have often been held up as a triumph of friendship over partisan politics.” Hmmm … quite the lesson Read More
