Abiogenesis is the idea that life arose from nonlife more than 3.5 billion years ago on mother earth. Life forms were very simple and gradually became complex. On the other hand, Biogenesis, is life derived from reproduction of other life. The two ideas are quite different. Yet, they both might have occurred back then. Some research has been done to define them. So, what came first: the chicken or the egg? Yellow Stone National Park will be visited in a quest for answers.

As a steering committee member of No More Bombs, a local group of peace activists advocating for global nuclear disarmament, I will explore a bit of how nuclear weapons are the greatest threat to humanity and life on earth. I will talk about Skagit County’s long history against nuclear weapons, (and nuclear power), a bit about our state’s heavy yet little known involvement in the nuclear industry, as well as our national history, including one of the greatest political movements that managed to eliminate 80% of the world’s stockpile, where we’re at today, and what can be done. Especially as relevant to a faith-based community that believes in justice and transformation doing “faithful work in a hurting world."
