*under construction*
Given the theme of much of my professional work so far, one scholar commented that I am a ‘one-man wrecking crew’ against theism/Christianity. That is not my intent. It just so happens that there is a lot of work in this field that needs critiquing, and there are good arguments for naturalistic and also supernaturalistic alternatives that have not yet been made. Also, my focus on these topics is actually a mark of respect toward the religious. Unlike many of my colleagues, I do not just ignore or dismiss religious claims, without thought or explanation. I engage with them head-on.
