“The Knowledge of the Glory.” What an odd name for a blog that is mostly about science and science-fiction.
It has a good basis, though.
Imagine a world in which everyone glorifies God.
Astronomers would show truthfully what they are learning—that God has made the earth a special and unique place designed for life. Biologists would praise God for the mounting evidence of the brilliant design of that life. Every other science and endeavor would seek to honor God with its discoveries.
Such a world is coming.
The prophecy that points to it is two and a half millennia old. “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,” predicted a prophet in Israel (Habakkuk 2:14).
Hi, I’m Dan Graves— author, former librarian, and web developer.
For years I have dreamed of helping to fulfill that prophecy. I have written books, articles, and poems with it in mind. This blog, “The Knowledge of the Glory,” is my latest effort to participate in that visionary quest.
I chose to do Science and Sci-Fi because they have long been of interest to me. As a youth I read Sci-Fi staples by Wells and Verne, but my interest really took off when I stumbled onto Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. Unfortunately, Sci-Fi turned rancid, and I had to pick my reading as gingerly as one picks up a live grenade. My first book, Scientists of Faith, combined my interest in Christianity and science. I hope through “The Knowledge of the Glory” to perpetuate that interest.
