Evolution and Creationism: A Calm and Absurd Debate
A family member recently e-troduced me to a “VERY highly respected surgeon in town who is VERY well read on evolution” who also rejects the theory in its entirety.

Being perpetually drawn to unique art/science performances, I was stoked to see what it would be like. I had no idea what I was in store for.
