Mirsad, Bill, and Mark are joined by Jon Marks, Professor of Anthropology at UNC-Charlotte, to explore what is at stake in various creation stories, from science and the global religions--with a Museum of the Bible opening in Washington, DC, in November 2017, based on Evangelical Christian "creationism" (the belief in a literal truth to the 6-day creation story in Genesis), with Catholics reconciling biblical poetics and science, with Muslims believing in the Quran's creation story, and with Buddhists focusing on the process of re-creation across many life cycles, not a creator god, yet with non-scientific measurements of time in sacred texts.
