Rivers of Creativity: River Pool Evolution or Intelligent Design?

Like ships passing in the night, scientists and theologians often talk past one another. However, when the polar opposite advocates of science and theology are forced to confront each other in face to face debates, SPARKS FLY! Two Journalists are charged by their network to source such a high stakes presidential style debate in a History Channel format - using real world facts and concepts. Mankind is much like a little duckling when it leaves the womb which has been the ‘eggshell’ of its existence. We are born with certain hereditary characteristics and tendencies to bond with mother and father. However, so much of our life is shaped by what we see and experience as we come forth in this world. Yes, we bond with our parents, but as we mature, we wonder at the world in which we live and search for our beginnings. This writing explores explanations for our origins by examining the tensions between science and theology in twelve toe to toe debates between those proposing random assembly and mutation beginnings as opposed to those proposing a theological origin. THE POLAR ADVOCATES OF SCIENCE AND THEOCRACY DEBATE THESE TWELVE ZINGERS IN TWELVE SESSIONS: 1. Do the scriptures say the earth is only 6000 years old or is the DUST from which the earth is formed much older? 2. The scriptures say the sun stood still in the heavens - is that believable? 3. Is the magnetosphere of the earth described in the scriptures? 4. Did GPS technology associated with the four cardinal points of the Giza pyramid exist in ancient Egypt? 5. Were the Masons active in Egypt at the time of Joseph's interaction with Pharaoh? 6. Were civilizations existing on earth BEFORE the darkness and chaos described in Genesis' second verse? 7. Was the expanding universe described in the scriptures long before Carl Hubble's discovery of the expansion? 8. Did Jacob use DNA patterns from the Hebrew candlestick to genetically alter cattle markings? 9. What is the possibility of civilizations more advanced than earth among the billions and billions of stars? 10. What would be characteristics of a leader of a more advanced civilization among the galaxies? 11. Are scientist's concepts about parallel universes similar to theologians concepts about the third heaven ranging downward to the lowest hell? 12. Could DNA have self assembled itself or does it require intelligent design? IF YOU HAVE PRE-SUPPOSITIONS ABOUT HOW THESE DEBATES WILL PROGRESS - YOU ARE IN FOR A SERIES OF SURPRISES!
