Have a great day
Nils "Bo" Ohman
Welcome to my Blog Site! As an author of Christian based science fiction novels, I hope you are here because you have read one of my novels and have something to say about it. I would greatly appreciate you completing the below reply form and giving me a review of the novel you have read.
If you would like to review the synopsis of my current or forth coming novels or order one of them, click on the Menu item above titled “My Author Website”. I hope you will enjoy them!
God’s ways are not man’s ways, scripture tells us. But in my feeble attempt to glorify God, I let my imagination run wild…like children primitively acting out the Star Wars saga…to help me appreciate the grandeur of His creation. Science in the twenty-first century continues to reveal His creation’s complexities. I appreciate the tiny part of science to which I am exposed. I also appreciate the great intellect and hard work of the scientists that give their lives to the understanding of His creation. My deep concern and puzzlement is that many of them fail to appreciate the Creator of their observances and experiments, preferring instead to revel in the complexities they study and ignore the One who designed those complexities in part because of His love for them.
I was traveling to church to meet with our pastor and considered how I hadn’t spent much time with God today. He spoke to me, not in words…that doesn’t happen too often. Instead He directed my attention to the green grass and I began to think about how He might have thought through that part of His creation.
“Well, I need to make chlorophyll so that my ultimate creation, man and the animals I will give him charge over will be able to breath…I’ll make chlorophyll out of my key building blocks, carbon, Hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. But I need some magnesium, too, so that plants can use it to convert carbon dioxide and sunlight to oxygen and with water and other nutrients from the soil to make food…for the plant and ultimately partially for man. And I think chlorophyll will be green…I like that color.
“Oh, by the way, I’ll need something to get that oxygen to man’s cells from lungs I will give him. That will be blood…and I have plans for that as well. But I need some very complex molecule that will absorb tremendous amounts of oxygen and then release it in his tissues and cells so he will be able to move, think and do all kinds of things. I need a molecule that contains iron, maybe with a core structure like chlorophyll. Uh-oh, I will need to make incredibly hot furnaces to weld lighter atoms together to make iron. Man will call them supernovas when he discovers them. So I think I’ll make hemoglobin out of that iron. That will make blood cells and blood red.
To all who read this, I am traveling to Europe to participate with a small church in the Netherlands. I will be part of a Partnership Mission and will report on the activities every day or so. I hope also to visit Den Haag to the site of two of my scenes in my second of the Triune Chronicles trilogy: the Escher Museum and Den Pier in Sweringen. In Discovery, the United Nations Space Agency has displaced the Escher Museum, but the collection remains. This is where my protagonist, Nick Childress (Levi) expects to be rewarded for saving two scientists during an encounter with a meteor swarm. Instead because of events described in Discovery, he is court-martialed and leaves the UN Space Service. Before he does, he has an amazing evening with an earlier love of his life at Den Pier.
Though I am finishing the 1986-set book, Checkmate, I pine to finish Discovery. It is not a good idea to try to write two novels at the same time. For blog responders who wish to gete a sample of my reading, you can go to the Author’s webside above for the Preface and Chapter One of Triune, the first of the trilogy. Blessings to you, Bo
