Publication Date

Excerpt
George Wald, a world-renowned scientist, once stated, "Science goes from question to question; big questions, and little, tentative answers" (Wald). Humankind was born with the ability to question: how did we get to this point, how can we better prepare ourselves for tomorrow, and even, how and when will we die? Little can be done to quench the thirst for understanding that is provoked by these questions. However, many civilizations and religions have attempted to satiate this hunger by developing creation stories built upon their direct environmental exposures.
