- Miracles -
written October 2002. In this commentary
on the SYMPOSIUM ON MIRACLES in the September 2002 issue of Zygon,
I wish to argue that miracles are not a violation of natural laws. They
abide by natural laws in a given physical dimension but as manifest
in a lower physical dimension appear as miracles and a violation of
the natural laws in that lower dimension.

- God is One -
written March 21, 2000. The conceptual use of
higher dimensions in the study of the Human Being, the image of God,
clarifies the concept of the unity of God as one Being infinitely superior
to man rather than the concept of three individual persons being of
the same substance so that they become one person. This latter
concept of God comes from the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. and has
been accepted by Christianity since that time. This ancient concept
seems to need re-examination in the glaring light of recent scientific
discoveries, which this paper attempts to do.

- String Theory and the
Human Mind - Written September
14, 1999, Appended June 23, 2000.
The conceptual use of String Theory and its basic principle that sub-atomic
particles extend into the fourth dimension of spacetime and even into
yet higher dimensions, may illumine the study of the mind/brain relationship.
This paper discusses some of these possibilities.

- Comments on Encyclical
13 Fides et Ratio of Pope John Paul II -
Written November 29, 1998. The
Pope, in this Encyclical, raises some basic questions: (1) Who
am I? (2) Where have I come from? (3) Why is there
evil? (4) What is there after this life? In this paper,
I have tried to suggest some answers to these questions.
