Yes, there's lots of new articles on the internet all the time. Any particular reason you're so excited about this one?

Professional philosopher writing a general treatment for Stanford within a subject of his expertise- theology and cosmology. It happens to be a favorite here. Mmmm, K?

Skimmed it for now. The conclusion as I can gather, at a glance, is one I am sympathetic towards and one espoused by George Lemaître, that our scientific models cannot be used as evidence for theism, that God is a metaphysical question. A view WLC could do with adopting.
Will read later when I get home. On a phone now.

It's definitely worth writing a title all in caps!

The subtext throughout is: Some theists think that scientific discoveries can be be construed as fitting into theological narratives. Some atheists disagree.

Not really sure why this requires an all caps title as it's really just a review of positions we regularly hash out over here.

The caps dont have some typographical purpose or something. I was just too lazy to take them off.
