Just a quick observation on the BBC radio news this morning. For some reason, despite Leicester City winning the league, they were short enough of news to run a piece on three possible earthlike planets orbiting (as I understand it) a single star. So what else is new?

As regular readers will know either from moonlighting on Biologos, or from the heads up in the comments on a previous post, BioLogos moderator Caspar Hess started a thread there questioning why The Hump should both feel the need, and dare, to exist. The way that thread has developed is the answer, as far as I am concerned, and explains why I don’t bother to discuss much there now, even on a thread about me.

On God’s uniqueness

Posted on 19/04/2016 by Jon Garvey

I’ve been trying to keep The Hump’s recent blog posts focused on the drip-feed of my book God’s Good Earth in twice weekly chapters – even that is a lot of reading for busy people, and I want to present my case in an orderly manner rather than firing off posts on all kinds of subjects in between.
