# Hot Blava

The national debate will always seep over into local politics and thus, events on the national stage will find their way into Hot Blava. We hope that Hot Blava will be an interesting mixture of national issues and issues that affect Utah, and particularly Utah County where we live. Mostly, it is great to write about issues you're thinking about as it solidifies your thinking... or exposes your own irrationality. You can decide which is which.

### Quoted on the Corner!

The Corner on National Review Online
One of my favorite blogs for politics and other stuff is NRO's The Corner. John Derbyshire wrote a bit about Intelligent Design (a counter-theory to the theory of evolution, the age of the earth, etc), and I responded with an email about my views on the subject, as a devout Mormon and a geologist. Much to my surprise, he posted much of my email on the Corner. Wow! I feel very flattered.
As a geologist, I am sometimes asked about potential interference between my faith and my profession. The short version is--there is no interference. I believe in God and I believe the earth is 4.6 billion years old. The long version? Well, check back here in a few days--I intend to post a longer blog about it soon.

  I came across his post too and then by fortune found your blog as well. Congratulations on being posted in the Corner!
  I try to maintain a list of Mormon bloggers. I hope you don't mind it if I add Hot Blava to the list.

  I can attest that David is a big Corner reader. It's all he did in law school. Getting serious mention there IS a big deal. Congrats.
