Lincoln sent me a link to a conference about the convergence of Mormon thought and engineering. I’m highly doubtful that there is a God, but I’m an engineer so why not manufacture one?

The Howard W Hunter Chair is interested in expanding the discussion of Latter-day Saint (LDS) perspectives on the attributes of God and the potential of man through a variety of innovative directions. One of the directions to be explored is whether there is a possible resonance between Mormon and engineering thought. The assumption is that according to LDS understanding, God is the architect of the Creation and the engineer of our bodies and spirits. Man, on the other hand, is believed to be capable of growing to become like God. The theological question is: where does engineering fit in the convergence of these two realms?

They’re asking for papers. If that’s your kind of thing, have fun.
