		<title>John Walton on the Creation Act and Functional Ontology &#8211; Part Two</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://www.fotopedia.com/items/flickr-281892884 Last time, if you can remember that far back, we talked about how John Walton, in his work The Lost World of Genesis One, sees the Ancient Near Eastern understanding of ontology as functional. Namely, for something to exist it must be functional within the system. Now that my head is back in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Russian Novels and Humanity or What I like about Dostoevsky &amp; Tolstoy.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One thing I appreciate about Russian novels (and I&#8217;m thinking here of Tolstoy &#038; Dostoevsky) is that they are real. They present realistic portraits of people, not one-dimensional flat characters. They take situations that people experience and make them understandable. Let me explain. We often say to ourselves, upon hearing of something someone has done [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Giant&#8217;s Chair, Natsworthy for SX7280 What does it mean for a chair to exist? A computer? A business? Does something exist merely when its material components exist? Can a chair can be said to exist when all of its parts have just come off the factory line, or do they need to be assembled [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.S. Lewis, Myth, and Christ</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So last time, if you can remember that far back, we talked about the connection between C.S. Lewis&#8217;s idea of myth and truth. Today I want to explore that connection in light of the fact that Christ described himself in the New Testament as &#8220;The Way, The Truth, and The Life.&#8221; So if Christ is [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still Here &#8211; Stay Tuned.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So it&#8217;s been about a month since I posted my last article in the series on C.S. Lewis &#038; Myth. I haven&#8217;t forgotten about that series, it&#8217;s still sitting in the back of my brain. Things have been a little busy around here, and when that happens I&#8217;m forced to prioritize. Which means this blog [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.S. Lewis, Myth, and Truth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We next turn to examine the connection between C.S. Lewis&#8217;s idea of myth and Truth (the absolute kind). Is Truth Real? If myth is a concrete expression of an idea (in the Platonic sense) it somehow takes Truth (abstract) and transpositions it into reality (concrete). Since Truth has to be transpositioned into reality by myth, [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.S. Lewis, Myth and Scripture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve dealt with Lewis view of myth and its relation to historical fact. This leads us directly into our next connection; C.S. Lewis&#8217;s idea of myth and its relation to Scripture. Does Scripture Contain Myth? It&#8217;s important to understand that Lewis was not a professional theologian, nor did he claim to be one. He had [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.S. Lewis, Myth, and Historical Fact</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having explained Lewis&#8217;s notion of myth (albeit a concise explanation), we next explore its relation to historical fact. Understanding this relation is important because the familiar use of the word &#8220;myth&#8221; implies something imaginary, made-up, or fictitious &#8211; and therefore not real. However, Lewis argues that a myth is in some sense more real than [...]]]></description>

		<title>C.S. Lewis and Myth</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately about C.S. Lewis&#8217;s idea of myth.  You might be asking yourself, why would you do that?  Well, its complicated to trace my own path to thinking about this, but there&#8217;s a couple reasons one might want to think about it. In reading his work it&#8217;s important to have his [...]]]></description>

		<title>How Earplugs Saved My Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am a father of four young children from six years down to seven weeks.  I have no nerves left.  The last one packed up and left town about a couple weeks ago.  Being only six years into this job, I&#8217;m hoping they&#8217;ll return (or new ones will grow back), but if nerves are like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life on Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Children are a gift from God, so they tell me. The Bible describes them as quivers in my arrow holder thingy. Some days though it doesn&#8217;t feel like a gift, and I&#8217;m the one left quivering. Challenges abound in a household of four young children. Challenges like eating lunch without falling out of your chair, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Truth and Argument</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Truth is not dependent upon an argument for it to be truth. Something that is true is so not because of an argument but simply by its very nature as being true. So for example, if it is true that I exist, that truth is not dependent on any argument for my existence, I simply [...]]]></description>
