This website is dedicated to my grandfather George Adams,
another backwoods carpenter with a radiant heart.
He always had time for me.

Today we live in a world of GPS and cell phones, computers and DNA.
Our footprints are on the Moon.
Childish things: gods and goddesses, angels and demons, are fading away now -
Time to grow up.
We need new visions, that can take us on new journeys:
out to the stars,
down into our cells,
and deep within the human heart.
Humans:
On our way, we leave foot prints:
First in Kenya:
<<< 1,500,000 BC
Next the Moon:
1969 AD >>>
Then to the stars - ?
Or to our end and extinction. ??
Long ago, friends asked me to help them reconcile religious magic and superstition with modern science. Then I was a young priest and scientist, but next we found that we had to leave society and religion behind. Finally, fifty years later, here is what I promised.
Surveying the last 500 years of science - since Columbus sailed, we will build a new vision of our universe - a worldview. Worldviews are unique, like fingerprints. You have yours. I have mine. We will share and compare, and add others from Jesus to Einstein.
Come, my friends, ’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Come, my friends,
’Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
— Tennyson. . .
To Strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
