///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Philosophy, and science ...do they support each other??
The task for a high school drama class was to put on a play to address the question: How did we come to exist??
So, let's set the stage:
A caveman character, Flint, presents his dilemma to another, "It's so unfair ...look at her!"
Other (Stoney): "Whoa-man, I see what you mean ...she's a real knockout!"
Flint: "Yeh, whoa-man ...that's what she is. Yeh, a real knockout ...you knock her out, hit her with this persuader."
Stoney (pointing): "It's like those two."
Another caveman is resting his club on one shoulder, while dragging his catch by the hair.
Flint: "Yeh, how fair is that? She gets a free ride!"
Stoney: "We need to change that. We need to grow our hair long."
Flint (pointing): "Yeh, like that guy. He's pretending to be unconscious, while she drags him."
The man being dragged winks at the two of them.
(Scene switches to a man and woman dressed in robes, standing within Greek columns.)
Philosopher (to his wife): "Are you ...'in the family way'?"
Wife: "Yes, I believe I am ...and you are just plain in the way. Why don't you go to the Agora, the Lyceum, the Forum ...whatever you call it, just go!"
Philosopher (at public forum): "I think, therefore I am."
Fellow philosopher (Socrat): "I am ...having problems with moving this large column that fell down. Could you help me with it?"
Demcrat: "Why don't you ask Pythag ...he may have a theory on how to do it more easily."
Socrat: "I did ask him, but he is still working on some angle on how to get out of doing any hard work. I will never get it done if someone else doesn't help."
Demcrat: "Okay, we will work together to right the column."
After working together to 'right' the column, Socrat is exhausted, and sits down against the column. Sweating, he wipes his brow, "Now, where was I ...ah yes, I think, therefore I am."
Demcrat raises his arm to also wipe his brow, but as he does, he turns his head ...getting a whiff of his armpit, "I stink, therefore I am."
(Scene changes to a woman joining her husband on a polar expedition.)
Kate: "Why didn't you tell me to change clothes?"
Kate is wearing skimpy clothes, while several men stand around in long, thermal underwear.
Polar bear dad: "We almost got killed trying to get a picture of that babe playing on that ice floe ...they always tell you, just go with the flow."
Polar bear mom: "Who are you trying to kid ...everyone knows you can easily swim 200 miles. Truth is, you almost knocked each other out trying to get a look at her."
One of the men in long, thermal underwear, "It's near impossible to figure out the dynamics."
Kate: "I don't know what you guys are thinking, but my first thought of thermal dynamics ....is, give me some of those thermals, I'm cold!"
Polar bear dad: "Now that ruins my day!"
Polar bear mom: "Now, let's look at this logically ...what does she have, that I don't have?"
Polar bear dad: "Logically ...philosophically?? I saw, therefore I am."
Polar bear mom: "Kate's on Facebook ...I'm not on Facebook, therefore I aint."
Polar bear daughter: "I text, therefore I ...ahem."
Polar bear son: "I tweet, therefore I'm lame."
Polar bear mom (to polar bear dad): "I think, therefore ...I conclude our son takes after you. I think he may be bipolar."
Polar bear dad: "Boys will be boys."
Polar bear mom: "At any age, that is. Why do you encourage that stuff?"
Polar bear dad: "Don't worry, SI somehow got ahold of all his photos. And I think Kate likes the penguins better ...she'll likely never return here."
Polar bear mom: "Why do you Kate-r to this sort of thing? Can't our son just play video-games like a normal cub?"
Polar bear dad: "Us adults already have a bad ...
Polar bear mom: "Bad enough grammar? It's We adults ..."
Polar bear dad: "Wee adults sounds like small ---and, are you kidding, there is nothing small about us ---so, as I was saying, us adults have a bad enough reputation. I don't want to ruin it for the cubs. Yes, it's partly due to our size, but also because of our appetite ...that they think we're too violent. And video-games are too violent, like that 'climate change' one ...it had too much gore."
Man with wild hair, driving a DeLorean, drives past the polar bears ...past the cavemen ...then past the Greek architecture and philosophers, as one of them says, "I think, therefore ...what was that?"
The wild-haired professor parks his Delorean time machine outside a schoolhouse. He walks inside, and enters a classroom of junior high kids, "This is wild ...I know, I know, you're saying that I'm wild. I ask you ...do I exist? Or am I just a 'pigment' of your imagination?"
Student: "You must be real ...my imagination isn't that good!"
Professor: "I contend that if you believe in evolution ...then I don't exist. But, sadly to say ...neither would any of you. But, don't tell your parents that some weird teacher at school tried to scare you today. You do exist, and you do have parents ...and whether you like it or not, I am your teacher. Today, I will try to show you how you exist."
Student (same one): "So far, I exist in boredom."
Professor: "Better bore-dom, than just plain dumb. And of course you're bored now, I haven't even begun. If my looks don't excite you, then perhaps the main interest of most kids your age will work ...like, we're talkin' food."
The professor takes out several bags of marshmallows, all different sizes and colors ...and a couple boxes of toothpicks.
Professor: "This is like the 'marshmallow challenge' ...but we are going to use just marshmallows and toothpicks, instead of raw spaghetti noodles, tape, and string. And you don't have to just use one marshmallow ...you can use as many as you want. But, we are not building towers ...we are going to to build molecules. Each marshmallow represents an atom, and you link them together with the toothpicks in any design you want to ...to build molecules. It's kind of a race, and I will tell you when you can start ...but, you will only have 30 seconds. I baked some marshmallow pies for afterwards, and some of you may want seconds on that too."
Another student: "Do we make as many as possible, or do we try to make one as big as possible."
Professor: "This is supposed to be the evolutionary model, so there are no set rules ...now, on your mark ...set ...go!!"
The group of students do surprisingly well. The professor notices one student who made no molecules, having spent the entire 30 seconds popping marshmallows in his mouth, "I see one of you spent your entire half minute consuming, not creating ...but, that's okay, that would also happen randomly in evolution. What is your name young sir?"
Student: "My name is Adam."
Professor: "That figures. You did say your name is Adam, not atom, right?"

Evolution is a theory ...and the most convenient theories are the ones where we can claim to be the authorities, and nobody can prove us wrong (yet).
There are things we call laws, and our governments at the federal, state, county, or local levels ---have means to monitor and enforce those laws. Others laws, such as laws of the universe, are explanations of things where we've seen and hoped to understand how God set it up (though some content that God was not involved) ---such as the Laws of Thermodynamics.
Things that happen that we often feel could not happen are often called unexplainable phenomenon ...but many of us more accurately call them miracles.
