Antioch Abouna: Orthodoxy and Creationism

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2006/02/orthodoxy-and-creationism.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Friday, February 24, 2006. So, in the midst of this conflict we must ask: “what is wrong with Creationism? 8221; What are the faulty assumptions in this debate that lead to each side anathematising the other? Is there a better way that could see science and faith in harmony once more? I have no need of that hypothesis.”. Some suppose that Intelligent Design might provide this new ground. Here is an approach that declares itself to be only scientific in its method; challeng...

Antioch Abouna: Christ the True Light

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2007/02/christ-true-light.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Thursday, February 01, 2007. Christ the True Light. The Meeting of Our Lord (Candlemass - 2 February). 29 “ Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; 30 for my eyes have seen Your salvation 31 which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, 32 a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the glory of Your people Israel.”. Then God said, “Let there be light” and there was light. Arise, shine; For your light has come! In Him was ...

Antioch Abouna: God does not Explain Things; Things Explain God

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2009/10/god-does-not-explain-things-things.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Thursday, October 29, 2009. God does not Explain Things; Things Explain God. Orthodox Christians with this faith do not suppose that science or the arts are alternative truth perceptions to theology. The more we discover and know about the world the stronger and deeper in Christ revealed in the very sinews and flesh of our humanity and in the very physicality of Creation itself; its terrible and majestic glory . signatures of God, vehicles of God indeed. Hut Burning for God.

Antioch Abouna: Hut Burning for God

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2008/01/hut-burning-for-god.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Tuesday, January 15, 2008. Hut Burning for God. In the Orthodox Church a fool for Christ is no jester or attention seeker, quite the reverse. Such a person feigns madness so that the curious and the flatterers will not poison the soul with self regard. The interior life of that person is far from. Consider for example a 17 year old youth who becomes a “hut burner.” No this is not another lamentable example of anarchy and pyromania! The minute we can become attached to anything...

Antioch Abouna: A Very Old Fashioned Atheist

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2011/10/very-old-fashioned-atheist.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. A Very Old Fashioned Atheist. I attended a disappointing debate tonight at Manchester University . a face off between the atheist Professor Peter Atkins and the Christian apologist and philosopher, Dr. William Craig. I say disappointing because Atkins proved to a very old fashioned atheist, not in any way a match for the erudition and sparkling brilliance of Craig. Finally, you may recall that of the two speakers, it was only Atkins who rightly sai...

Antioch Abouna: My Guilty Little Secret

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2013/06/my-guilty-little-secret.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. My Guilty Little Secret. I grew up at a time when anything to do with Russia was inherently suspect and dangerous. Anyone who read the "Morning Star" (a Marxist newspaper) was suspected of treachery. Covert surveillance of the hard left in Britain was (and probably still is) commonplace. If you were Labour then you read the Mirror; Tory? The Times or the Telegraph for you; Liberal? Shall I share with you my guilty secret? It amuses me that today I tend ...

Antioch Abouna: God throws a double six!

http://antiochabouna.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-have-always-found-william-blakes-art.html

An Orthodox Christian blog. Tuesday, October 02, 2007. God throws a double six! I cannot help but think that this is an explanatory dead end, so let us move on. Returning now to our review of quantum theory let us examine some of its cosmological applications. So what happens to all that information in the form of humans, stars, fridges, and other associated junk that fell into the black hole in the first place? I think not if that comes at the price of compromising human and cosmic freedom. God is s...
