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).

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.
