Michio Kaku is a theoretical physicist teaching at City College, New York. He is the author of eight books on string theory and quantum field theory. He’s written nearly 80 published articles. And he’s done hundreds of radio and television shows. Mostly though he is a science popularizer. Like Carl Sagan before him, his true dream is to engage people everywhere in science. Kaku seeks out ways to connect new and unexpected people with physics and mathematics. Michio Kaku has been making some waves recently in interviews. His explanations of science are starting to sound very… well, spiritual. In fact, though he believes in a God that orders reality he does not believe in an interventionist God.
TV
Remember: just because I point to it doesn’t mean I endorse it or that you should watch it. That’s probably the case here. Preacher is a new television program. Originally a very bloody graphic novel, Preacher is made by Even Goldberg and Seth Rogan (of all people) who worked together on Superbad and Neighbors as well as many other films. Its head writer is Garth Ennis who wrote Constantine. This is a story about a preacher in Texas just back from a mysterious past (a la Pale Rider). He takes over for his father. But he’s better at breaking arms than preaching. Preacher’s Dominic Cooper may or may not be possessed. He may be a half demon, half angel child. In any case, he travels around with his witty drunken Irish vampire friend trying to reconcile a broken world with the God he says has abandoned it.

New Single
Stemming from the Heaven on Earth that is Colorado Springs, Nichole Nordeman has made a splash here and there in the Christian music industry. She has a few Gospel awards and Dove awards but lately she has been more behind the scenes. However, for a little while now, new songs have been popping up on her website. There are six new songs actually. Slow Down is worth a listen.

Contemporvant Worship
If you were looking to create a whole new mega-church of your own I’ve got something for you. First off, it doesn’t seem that difficult. You just need some cash on hand and the attitude of Peter Criss’ original KISS ad (“willing to do anything”). Second, you could just reverse engineer this video. Do either of those two things and you will be just fine.
