an astrophysicist’s quest for
authentic christianity and patristic credibility
In this blog, I endeavor to articulate the essential purpose of establishing a coherent worldview capable of addressing four fundamental questions of life: origin, meaning, morality, and destiny. Such a worldview must provide a robust apologetic that withstands the most rigorous critiques from philosophy, theology, science, astrophysics, and other academic disciplines. Regardless of whether one's worldview is rooted in Judeo-Christian, Islamic, or pantheistic traditions, the claims made in response to these questions must correspond to objective reality and exhibit logical coherence.
