AIOCS Conversations #26: Graeme Finlay's A Freed Man’s Worship, part 1

A new conversation with Dr Graeme Finlay, occasioned by the very recent publication of yet another article of his in Christian Perspectives on Science and Technology (the ISCAST journal): "The Primal Testament: Parallels between Evolutionary and Biblical History." The article can be accessed gratis both as webpage and PDF, the latter including the pagination. doi.org/10.589...
The article considers the genetic code as a primal, or first, Testament, worthy of respect as much as the Old and the New Testaments, and equally relevant to our experience as God's creation evolving in history. The conversation focuses on the message and significance of this article, and then turns to the article's appendix, Graeme's poetic narrative of everything, titled "A Freed Man’s Worship: The Point of It All." The author read the first stanza, "Quantum Vacuum," and then he and the interviewer commented on it. The discussion tackled the matter of the universe's quantum potential and God's activation of it with a view to the creation's final consummation.
Bio: Graeme Finlay is retired from teaching scientific pathology at the University of
