As debate grows between hardliners of religion and science about how this world and its
creatures came into existence, a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Arkansas
has sparked worldwide interest in his new view of evolution.

" I have developed an argument of moderation, which can bring reasonable minds from
both sides together," says Lothar Schafer, who is the Edgar Wertheim Distinguished
Professor of Physical Chemistry at the university, and the author of "In Search of Divine Reality."

Schafer will present his ideas in Oklahoma City at a special event Saturday, August 19,
sponsored by the Ziusudra Project at the Old Trinity Church Gallery in the Paseo Arts District.

"Darwinians generally are materialists and do not like the non-material, hidden principles of
quantum systems," Schafer says. "In Classical Physics, there is no room for the Spiritual
and for God. In the world of Quantum Mechanics, the foundations of physical reality have
revealed all the aspects of a transcendent reality." Schafer's research has provided evidence
that the Genetic Code, the foundation of Darwinians' argument for evolution, is itself born
out of nonmaterial quantum processes.

"Various religious groups do not like a scientific system that explains the emergence of life
in a natural way, because they think that it takes away from God. But why should it?"
Schafer asks. "After all, it is not impossible to believe that the quantum structure of the
universe out of which life unfolds had a creator."

The free event begins at 6pm, Saturday, August 19th, at Old Trinity, 3000 N Lee on the Paseo.
Following Schafer's presentation, the Ziusudra Project will host an afterparty, featuring
experimental multi-art performance. Bring a picnic basket and join the fun.
