AIOCS Conversations #28: Graeme Finlay's A Freed Man’s Worship, part 3

The third conversation with Dr Graeme Finlay about his poem "A Freed Man’s Worship: The Point of It All," published as an appendix to his article "The Primal Testament: Parallels between Evolutionary and Biblical History." The article was recently published in Christian Perspectives on Science and Technology (the ISCAST journal), and can be accessed gratis both as webpage and PDF, the latter including the pagination. doi.org/10.589...
This conversation focuses on stanzas four, five, and six of the poem, "Earth," "Organic Chemistry," and "Cells," respectively, addressing the "fortunate" aspect of Earth's location and history, that made possible the emergence of life, including our own, and the transformative processes at play that can be discerned in the backdrop of life. It also includes reflections on God's work through the processes of nature.
Bio: Graeme Finlay is retired from teaching scientific pathology at the University of Auckland and is a lay preacher. He has written Human Evolution (Cambridge University Press, 2013), The Gospel According to Dawkins (Austin-Macauley, 2017), Evolution and Eschatology (Wipf and Stock, 2021), and God’s Gift of Science (Wipf and Stock, 2022).
