Chinese Fried Rice
Chinese fried rice, everyone's favorite dish needs no introduction from me.
As simple as it is, there are many versions of Chinese fried rice–plain, with chicken, shrimp, lap cheong (Chinese sausages), pork, beef, vegetables, salted fish, eggs, or combination. Regardless of the variations, Chinese fried rice always whets my appetite.
This is Hong Kong-style Chinese fried rice. I love salted fish fried rice, but I also wanted Chinese sausage (lap cheong) and baby shrimp, hence I came out with this Chinese fried rice recipe….
A good Chinese fried rice calls for overnight rice. If you don't have it, you can cheat. The next time you have takeout or eat out at Chinese restaurants, get an extra serving of rice. Keep it in your fridge overnight, and you will have the perfect overnight rice for Chinese fried rice.
This is my Chinese fried rice recipe and now you can make Chinese fried rice at home.

We like Chinese fried rice a lot too. Lately we added some kimchi into the fried rice, it went well too!
I grew up eating fried rice flavored with hum ha (shrimp paste). Very smelly, but VERY TASTY! Same basic ingredients – lup cheong, char siu, ham, egg, green onion, round onion, etc. Salted fish is another great choice for flavoring.
Do you have a recipe for the 'hum ha' ? I was married to a Cantonese born Australian Chinese and his family also made fried rice with 'hum ha'
Many thanks
I like overnight rice to make fried rice too :)
I love salted fish and chicken fried rice, and so does the husband after he's tried it last year. He always asks for it now when we go to our local Chinese restaurant :p There's a lot of 'stuff' in your deluxe version!
I love fried rice! I always make sure I have some leftover rice waiting for me in the fridge for a quick and delicious supper anytime of the week. Mine always includes whatever I can scrounge from the fridge/freezer. :)

Dear Madame
I just stumble upon your blog thru InterWined.com,
i am malaysian student in Italy, now doing my final year master thesis..
glad i found your blog, i have ran out of ideas on what to eat during lunch and dinner ( i prefer to cook)..
the worst i got to my craving of malaysian food was to cook a chicken curry (i made the sauce really thick and then put in some spaghetti..yummy!)
but since now i have your blog as guidance, i'll try to cook any of the dish, given that i can find the ingredients in the market…
happy i found the blog!
Hmm.. this is one dish that I still can't do well… Love the pic of the rice, I feel that it's calling out to me.. haha!
Oh how I wish I could make this so it really tastes like Chinese fried rice!
It looks awesome!
loveee ham yu gai lap chao fan…recently i made fried rice with miso paste and another one with roasted eel…try try ^_^
Fried rice is so easy and so tasty. It is a great way to clean out the fridge at the end of the week.
love the dried shrimp idea. Sometimes, I add a tablespoon of sambal to stirfry the rice as well!
I'm intrigued by the fried rice with salted fish, I heard about that last year from a few fellow bloggers. Can't wait for you to post that recipe.
Wow, rice dishes here and there. I like. Was saying in Babe's blog…there's sambal belacan; tom yam; kampung; pattaya; pineapple and the list goes on…love most varieties. Yours look so yummy!
Deluxe fried rice, anytime for me. I want it together with those chinese greens.
Nothing beats fried rice, well maybe deluxe fried rice! March must have been fried rice month for food bloggers, ha!
I saw spring onions in the photo but it was not listed in the ingredients.
Have some rice left over. You just gave me an Idea for dinner tonight. Hmmm..No Kiam hu wor. Pinjam? Can? Hahahah…
Hi, I always order chicken and salted fish fried rice at one of my fave chinese restaurant, I even attempted to do it once but turned out very salty, may I ask what kind of salted fish did you use?
I love chinese fried rice. Your chinese fried rice recipe is so easy to follow. thanks.
Can imagine the taste of the fried rice … hmmm.. yummy…. oh.. it would be more tastier if eat with Korean Kimchi (which I normally do and get it from this web site
I love Chinese fried rice and I always order it at Chinese restaurants or Chinese take-outs. I like the idea of the leftover rice from Chinese restaurant and will try your Chinese fried rice recipe soon.
My mother has a Chinese fried rice recipe that I love, but your Chinese fried rice is loaded with all the good ingredients. I will try your recipe soon!
Fried rice! I love fried rice. Fried rice is the most ordered dish in Chinese restaurants, I know because I work in one. Everyone just loves fried rice be it basic fried rice or chicken fried rice or shrimp fried rice. I love fried rice with salted fish.
I tried your fried rice recipe and loved it. The salted fish adds a lot of flavors to the fried rice. What a huge difference it makes to a somewhat plain fried rice dish.

Couldn't get hold of the salted fish at short notice but it still came out awsomely tasty. I just love this website, its the best foody one I've ever come across. The pictures say so much more than words could ever say.
I have had fried rice with salted fish at restaurants before and loved it. I asked at the Chinsese grocery and they directed me to salted Mackarel.
OOPS – sent too soon. When I opened the package it really smelled. The recipe I was using did not say anything about cooking before adding to the rice dish I was making. I am afraid the smell turned my family off to the dish. Did I use the wront type? Or does cooking it first help. I cut in small pieces but think perhaps they should have been smaller.
Thanks for the recipe! we tried and we like it so much :)
What is overnight rice?? You mean soak overnight or something? Please explain. Thanks!
Nice work! Not many people know the reason behind using 'overnight rice). I thought I am the only one who know this secret! :-p
Another cheating method is use freshly cooked rice and spread rice evenly on a flat plate. Allow to cool for 15 minutes then put in the fridge (Not freezer) for 15 mins. ( Spread evenly and putting evening is to allow moisture to evaporate)
The reason why overnight rice taste so nice when cooking fried rice is because of the dryness of overnight rice. Freshly cooked rice has a high moisture content which makes the rice 'sticks' when cooking instead of 'burn'. We want a certain degree of 'burn' but not over 'burn'. When rice are 'burn', the aroma of the rice are forced out and combine with the seasoning, produce a tasty fried rice.
Fried rice is a very common dish and seems so easy to cook. In my opinion, it is one of the most difficult to cook. During the cooking, you need to toss the rice a few times so that the 'burning' of the fried rice is spread evenly. And you have to be careful not to overburn the rice.
Yes, Salted fish is recommended for fried rice because of the strong smell and the saltish taste but not too much.
Some notes, you need a good wok which you can toss easily. Reason is you need the oil to be evenly spread over the rice. Otherwise, the 'burning' will not be even. I prefer to use traditional cast iron wok. For beginners, start with servings of 1-2 so you can manage the rice easily. Also, have a feel of the 'fire', you can only use the big 'fire' for about 10-15 seconds and toss 5-6 times to create a good 'burn'. A good cast iron wok can transfer this high heat intensity to the rice instantly. And finally, I have never taste a good fried rice cooked with electric or induction stove.
Thank you so much for posting the recipe.
Wow, thanks Steven for explaining some keys points about how to cook fried rice. It's very insightful and I agreed, it not easy. I'll definitely try that out when I cook fried rice again. :)
To make a good fry rice dish is very simple and one does not have to rely on overnight rice. In order to have dry rice, one must use the right type of rice grain and the amount of water. Try using long grain, Jasmine or Basmati, add less water than usual. As soon as the ric is done, stir it with chopstick and leave it uncover until you are ready to use.
Another important note is what else are being added? Peas, chopped brocolli stem, beans, Chinese sausage, luncheon meat and eggs if cooked separately, will help to control the dryness of the fryrice.
hey there and thank you for your information – I have certainly
picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise several technical points using this
site, since I experienced to reload the site many times previous to I could get it
to load correctly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK?
Not that I am complaining, but slow loading instances times will often affect your placement in google and could damage your high quality score if ads and marketing with Adwords.
Well I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out
for much more of your respective intriguing content. Ensure that you update this

▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒▒ Yuri Mizu Takara
Yuri stepped out of the portal and stopped briefly after taking in the new scenery. This school was a lot different then her old one. Especially the fact she had to get there by portal. Her eyes darted around looking at the other students who seemed to be arriving as well. If she could feel any excitement at all this would be where it would come in handy. A slight chill came across her though as the cold air blew against her skin. It was partially bare since she was wearing a sundress. Perhaps a jacket would have been the smartest thing to bring. She had one in her suitcase, but she didn't exactly want to go digging through just to find it for this exact moment.
She soon started on her way to the dorms pulling out a small piece of paper from her pocket stating what dorm she lived in. She never really understood the whole point of the dorms since you were going to be spending the entire year with someone you hardly knew. I mean sure you would get to know them over time, but you would think that the school would at least give you some of your own privacy and split you up so you had your own separate rooms instead of two beds, a dresser, and a desk which is what Yuri guessed was going to be in the room.
As she entered the building she was blinded by white with a hint of red from the carpet and the green of the plant at the top of the stairs. She blinked a few times adjusting her eyes to the scenery and looked curiously around. It was quite beautiful here. Now all that was left to see was the dorm rooms. Knowing how sometimes appearances may fool you you might end up sleeping in some strange loft with needles on your bed as your mattress or something like that. Of course that wasn't going to be the case.
Yuri looked at the paper in her hand and then looked at the door matching the number to what was written. She opened the door slightly and walked in not caring if anyone else was in there or not. As she set her suitcase down near a bed she looked around. It was once again white with a bed covered in a blue bedspread, a television off to the side, and three little windows at the front letting in tons of sunlight. Yuri walked over to the windows and lifted one of the curtains from them looking down. She noticed other students chatting with each other and laughing. She tilted her head a bit confused as to what they were doing when it came to those emotions. Yuri was taught them when she was younger, but she never was able to remember them exactly. She shook the thought from her head and walked over to her suitcase starting to neatly unpack her stuff.
Once finished she decided she'd spend some time in the study room. Or as she'd read it ws also called "the play room". She often wondered the whole time why it was called this since so she decided to go and find out for herself. She put the suitcase under her bed and then walked out the door leaving it unlocked so that her roommate (if she had one) could get in even though they'd probably have a key. No matter it was the nicer thing to do to save them time.
Yuri walked the halls curiously now searching for this so called "study/play room". Since it was her first year here she wasn't quite familiar with the layout, but she definitely knew how to read the signs. Her eyes the drifted to one that was labeled "study room" and she walked right in. She looked around and finally understood why it was called what it was. There was a television, a bookshelf, and many other things. Though her attention was grabbed by a stuffed animal on the shelf. She had a weakness for these so she walked over to it bending over to get a closer look. She touched it lightly and spoke to herself, "Cute..." She then kept doing this with the other numerous things on the shelf acting like a kindergartner who had just learned all these words. Hopefully nobody would see her.

Be sure to pay attention to details of a campaign messaged on banners and the event page.

We must void Rakuten Super Points™ earned on orders that do not follow promotion-specific details.
I've seen Super Point™ Promotions offering 5% and 10% back. What is this?
A promotion of 10% back means that you would earn 10 Points for every dollar spent on the purchase price. On a $100 item, 10% back would equal $10 in Rakuten Super Points™ to use like cash on a future purchase.
When I use my Rakuten Super Points ™, can I specify if I want to use my Standard Points or Promotional Points when I check out?
When you are cashing in your Points, the Points with the closest expiration date will be automatically applied and can easily be removed at checkout.

Venture for America fellows to venture to Cleveland
Blog Entry:
July 18, 2013 10:47 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The New York Times
runs a
long profile
of the nonprofit
Venture for America
, which selects fellows to work in eight cities — including Cleveland — that aren't the usual magnets for young college graduates.
By August, 108 fellows will be working at 70 companies as part of the two-year program. Cities that are part of the program are Cleveland, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Providence, R.I.
The lead anecdote comes from Brentt Baltimore, a graduate of
Claremont McKenna College
in California who majored in economics and finance. Last year, he turned down a six-figure job at a Los Angeles area hedge fund and instead he took a $33,000-a-year position at Dan Gilbert's
Detroit Venture Partners
Part of his job there "is to scout potential investments and lure companies to Detroit," according to the story. "He has also started the nonprofit Startup Effect, which teaches local eighth-graders entrepreneurship principles."
Andrew Yang, 38, who started Venture for America in 2011, tells
The Times
, "Smart people should be building things. Instead, they become bankers and consultants. We need to do something about talent allocation that pulls our top minds toward these fields."
The story notes that Mr. Gilbert, founder of
Quicken Loans
and majority owner of the
Cleveland Cavaliers
, pledged $1.5 million to Venture for America.
"Getting people who were at the top of their class is not an opportunity we might have gotten if we just woke up one day and said we have job openings," he tells the newspaper.
This and that
Hey now!:
Frank Lavin, an ex-U.S. ambassador and former Commerce Department official, is
gaining some traction
for his Akron-based company,
Export Now
Businessweek.com says the firm "cuts through language barriers and red tape to help fellow Americans (and anyone else willing to pay him) to sell consumer goods to Chinese shoppers."
Since launching Export Now in 2010, Mr. Lavin's team "has handled customs clearance, trademark registration, order fulfillment, and other back-end tasks for more than 100 consumer brands, from Mack's earplugs, to Totes umbrellas, to Tabasco sauce," according to the story. "Everything Export Now handles is sold through Alibaba Group's massive Chinese e-commerce sites Taobao and Tmall."
Mr. Lavin also has a new deal with the National Football League to sell its official apparel and equipment.
The agreement "means Export Now will be handling the logistical headaches of getting NFL apparel and equipment from merchandise providers such as New Era, Nike and Wilson and ready for buyers in China to snap up online. Lavin says the new store will go live in September," Businessweek.com reports.
A little bumpy:
The merger of
airlines was a big deal for many airports, including
, where AirTran is the largest carrier. But as
Wall Street Journal
points out, the marriage so far has been a bit rocky.
"As the two airlines, which combined carry more domestic passengers than any other, have started splicing together their flight schedules this year, travelers say Southwest Airlines agents struggle with AirTran Airways tickets and vice versa, sometimes leaving passengers who have been delayed and need rebooking in the lurch," according to the story.
The Journal
reports that different prices and seat availability "sometimes show up for the same flight on Southwest's and AirTran's online sites. Buying early boarding privileges on Southwest doesn't get you early boarding on connecting AirTran flights. Frequent-flier credits remain separate and Southwest companion passes, awarded to top frequent fliers, can't be used on AirTran."
The two discount airlines face huge merger hurdles "largely because Southwest lacks a reservation system capable of handling many aspects of AirTran's business, such as international flights," the newspaper notes.
Instead of merging into one computer system, Southwest, for now, "has agents of both airlines trying to work two reservation systems on different windows of their computer screens so one airline can check in customers from the other,"
The Journal
Asset management:
Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at
Key Private Bank
in Cleveland, is one of the experts Reuters sought out for
this story
on Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's announcement that the central bank still expects to start scaling back its massive asset purchase program later this year.
As always, Mr. Bernanke "left open the option of changing that plan in either direction if the economic outlook shifted," Reuters notes. But for now, the plan is for the Fed to halt bond buying by mid-2014.
Mr. McCain had this to say about the plan to end the monetary policy that he calls
quantitative easing:
"I don't think this is a surprise, especially since we're seeing some evidence of some better economic statistics. Our concern is that we're seeing very aggressive estimates for the second half of the year, and growth may not be that robust after QE ends. Even though there will be some QE, just smaller amounts, we could be disappointed by the quality of growth."
One more time:
Another Beige Book report from the Federal Reserve, another
that the economy in the Cleveland district expanded at a "moderate pace."
Yesterday's report continued the pattern of the past couple years, in which the Beige Book — an anecdotal overview of the economy issued every six weeks — indicates things are getting better, but not substantially so. Here's how it describes the state of the Cleveland District:
Manufacturing orders and production were steady or higher. The momentum seen in residential construction since the beginning of the year has slowed, but activity remains above year-ago levels. Nonresidential builders experienced a rise in the number of inquiries and backlogs. Retail sales were lackluster during May, while new motor vehicle sales posted moderate gains on a year-over-year basis. Conventional and unconventional natural gas and oil production was stable, and drilling has declined since the start of the year. … Hiring picked up in manufacturing and residential construction. Staffing firm representatives reported that the number of job openings and placements was fairly steady, with vacancies found primarily in health care and manufacturing. Wage pressures remain contained.

|Academic Advisor for Athletics
|(352) 588-7256
Melissa Mangen was named the Academic Advisor for Athletics in July of 2012 in addition to her role as the Head Cross Country and Track Coach.
Mangen was named Head Cross Country Coach on December 10, 2008 and is entering her sixth year as the Lions' head cross country coach. Saint Leo's Track teams first debuted in Spring of 2014.
The 2013 season was a major success for both the men's and women's cross country programs. The men made history by being the first Saint Leo program to compete in the NCAA Division II Championships, where they finished ahead of all South Region teams in 26th place. The men saw one South Region Runner of the Year (Valentin Lenz), one SSC Runner of the Year (Carl Dunne), three All-SSC Selections and four All-Region runners. In addition, the men rewrote the record books during the course of the season, notching four 10K records, ten 8K records, and all ten records for the 5K. The women's program also saw succcess, as freshman Jelena Tancic recorded one All-Region Selection, one All-SSC honor, and was named the SSC Freshman of the Year after earning her first trip to the NCAA National Championships.
After a successful 2011 season, the men's and women's cross country programs had a solid 2012 year. For the men's team, freshman Carl Dunne started the year off on a high note and finished with an impressive run at the D2 National Championship race. Mangen guided Dunne to Sunshine State Freshman of the Year honors, First Team All-SSC recognition, and was named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-South Region team. In addition to Dunne's success, Mangen also led the men's squad to two SSC Runner of the Week nominees. Under Mangen's leadership, the Lions cross country teams stood out during the 2012 season, consistently ranking high in the region and finishing as one of the top-5 teams in the Sunshine State Conference championship race.
The 2011 season saw Mangen's most successful season in each program's history. On the women's side, Mangen guided one women's runner to the NCAA Division II National race for the first time in women's cross country history. The same runner, freshman Tereza Novotna, claimed Sunshine State Conference Freshman of the Year honors and All-Sunshine State Conference Women's Cross Country Team honors, in addition to claiming top five spots on the 5K all-time records list and and three of the top four 6K all-time records. While the women's team excelled on the course, earning three member's U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-South Region team honors, the men's cross country team also saw success, as both teams were selected to the USTFCCCA All-Academic list.
The 2010 season for both the men's and women's cross country teams was a historic one. On the men's side, six individuals made their way on to the top-10 all-time list in the 8K, five of which happened at the SSC Championships. In addition, the men also recorded their highest team finish in team history with a second place showing at the flrunners.com Meet. It was just as successful on the women's side as four women cracked all-time 5K list. Andrea Maxwell recorded the fastest 5K time in Saint Leo history as she recorded a time of 19:11.38. Maxwell also recorded the highest finish at the SSC Championships by any Saint Leo runner as she finished seventh and was named to the All-Championship team. The women also recorded a season-best thrid-place finish at the flrunners.com Meet.
2009 was a fantastic season for the Lions, as both the men's and women's teams broke a combined six school records, including five by the women. Mangen's groups also excelled in the classroom once again as both teams were named to the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic list. A trio of women runners also earned All-Academic honors, as Luthman, Browne, and Egan earned GPA's over 3.25 for the year.
An assistant coach at Saint Leo for a year prior to being elevated to the head position, Mangen began the Lions' turnaround as they posted the best Sunshine State Conference finish in the program's history. Setting a school records in 2008, the Lions posted seven top-10 performances in Saint Leo history. Continuing a tradition of excellent academics under Mangen's guidance, the women's cross country team posted the highest GPA in the Department of Athletics in 2008.
Mangen came to Saint Leo after a two-year stint as assistant coach at the University of South Florida where she worked with both the Bulls' Cross Country and Track & Field Teams. During her time at the Division I school in Tampa, Fla., she helped coach nine USF runners to the Big East All-Conference Team while 11 posted all-time top performances. With her assistance, South Florida runners posted the top team GPA in Division I.
Her first crack at coaching came in 2005 when she was named assistant coach at Saginaw Valley State University in Saginaw, Mich. For two seasons, Mangen help pilot a program that advanced to the NCAA Division II National Championships, ultimately posting a fifth-place finish. She coached an All-American, three NCAA Qualifiers and 32 All-Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Performers and also had a GLIAC Male Scholar-Athlete of the Year while working for the Cardinals.
Mangen is a native of Portland, Michigan and earned her Master of Education degree from Saginaw Valley State in 2008. She earned her Bachelor of Science, Exercise Science and Psychology from Central Michigan University in 2005 where she was also a seven-time Mid American All-Conference honoree. Named the Chippewas' Track & Field Rookie of the Year in 2000, Mangen was also a four-time team champion and currently ranks in the top five all-time in best times for the indoor mile and 3000 meter races at Central Michigan.
Mangen serves in dual roles at Saint Leo as she is also an academic advisor for the school's Center for Online Learning located in Dade City, Fla.
Mangen currently resides in Wesley Chapel, Fla. with her husband, Paul, and their son, Jack.

ATLAS 'BAROSSA VALLEY' SHIRAZ 2012, 750ml (Bottle)
- A very elegant and well structured Barossa Shiraz
- 2010 recieved 95 points from James Halliday
- The finish shows seductive sweet fruits
The Barossa Valley is about an hour and a half drive to the North of Adelaide, in South Australia and is the oldest wine region in the country, founded by German settlers. The region can be credited with putting Australian wine on the world wine map, thanks to Shiraz, which thrives in the warm climate (though Hunter Valley Semillon also contributed.)
For many years traditionalist wine makers thought the grape variety was best suited to the cooler climates of the Rhone Valley and that the variety would cook and in the warmth of the Australian sun. Although South Australian Shiraz is a bigger, beefier wine than its southern French counterpart Syrah, no one can deny the regions propensity to produce world class wines.
Not only Shiraz is cultivated in Barossa Valley, with other red varieties such as Grenache, Mourvedre (Mataro) and to a lesser extent Cabernet Sauvignon. The white varieties that thrive best seem to be Semillon, Chardonnay and Rhone varietals like viognier, Marsanne and Roussane.
The Valley has many subregions which all have unique terroirs. Seppeltsfield, Marananga, Greenock are to name but a few. With a huge number of wineries in such a small area, and a host of accommodation, the region is very popular for wine-tourism. In the words of Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, the Barossa Valley became "Australia's quintessential wine region."

Spicy Basil Beef Salad
One of my favorite things to do is reading food and travel magazines. I usually go crazy when it's summer as the newsstands are filled with all sorts of summer-themed magazines. Each with a mouthwatering cover and big bold text that pretty much screams "buy me and eat me." Other than my regular magazine subscriptions, I usually succumb to these many temptations and stack up my collections.
This year, my favorite summer magazines are Cooking Light and Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. Each page lures me to try the recipes and this Spicy Basil Beef Salad recipe is just one of the many I have earmarked. I love the combination of three different types of basil, paired with perfectly pan-seared beef. There is no need to fire up the grill.
The dressing is Asian, savory, spicy, with a tart note. The minced lemongrass adds an aromatic nuance and texture to the overall dish. It's one refreshing, beautiful, and pleasant tasting salad, which I am sure many of you will like.
Do you have a favorite summer salad recipe? Please share.

Ok guy. Keep up the good work.
Bahahahahahaha Internet board badass!
Let's get Pondexter back.
Aminu & Brian Roberts or 2 second round picks to the T'wolves for G Alexey Shved...Aminu would play best in an up tempo offense, Minnesota has a whole at the 3, and they have a glut at PG...The Hornets need help at guard. It makes sense for both teams, but the T'wolves may value Shved too much for the trade to work.
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
Shved would be nice

On the Evolution of the Imago Dei: Insights from St. Thomas Aquinas
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Trinitarian theology and the image of God are important, non-essentialist resources to help us think about the distinct place of humanity in creation.
Over the last two weeks, the Forum has explored the imago Dei from various perspectives. Today's post features a preview of the updated Question, "How could humans have evolved and still be created in the ' Image of God'? written by Senior Web Consultant and Writer Deborah Haarsma.
There is a sense in which we look at Temma and we want to affirm that she is made in the image of God by denying that the image of God has anything to do with her physical, material body.
My students twinge and recoil a bit at the thought that persons with disabilities can be made in God's image. "They just don't look like it," they say, zeroing in on what is physically seen.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
