I speak with author Mark Laxer about religion, science, and the origin of the human race. Laxer spent years researching scientific topics to accurately portray what scientists think about evolution. He also has reached out to the religious community to explore the mystical origins of human beings. Laxer says his goal is to bridge the gap between scientists and followers of religion so that people in both communities will feel compelled to work together to solve the problems facing our world and the creatures that live in it, including us! His novel The Monkey Bible presents a fictional story with scientific facts, and offers potential solutions to the problems that plague our world.
