Who are we humans? Two great stories tell us.....

WHO ARE WE? WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?
WHAT IS LIFE ALL ABOUT?
IS GOD THE GREAT STORYTELLER?
Are we the Stories of God?

Dr. Paschal Baute, Pastoral Psychologist.

We have two great visions to answer these questions.
Genesis and the story of creation
Evolution and Revelation

They are NOT contradictory, but complementary.
Evolution cannot answer the WHY questions:
Why we are here, What is the purpose of Life/

The Book of Genesis is not designed to tell us how we got here.
The Holy Bible is not intended to be history or biography.

The Challenge for thinking Christians
for those who do not want to be stuck at the
kindergarten Sunday School level of
understanding the Bible is
How are both of these stories TRUE?
How do both help us understand ourselves, love, and life?
...and the everyday challenges of adult life today?
There is exciting new research that helps.
Story One: Adam and Eve talk with God about what is happened and what it means.
Story Two: Seven Days of Creation, informed by the actual history of evolution.

Paschal Baute, Ed. D. Is a pastoral psychologist and Spellbinder storyteller
who has been integrating these two great stories for adult audiences.
He shows how storytelling, properly understood, can energize
both faith, love and healing.

Paschal is also a married Catholic priest of the Celtic Christian Church,
an independent non-Roman Catholic faith community.
He is accepting invitations to speak to adult audiences.
