Argument of the Scientists

When we were in high school, we were tasked to do a play about scientists. This is an excerpt of what a friend of mine,  wrote in the script. This was the highlight of our play so I wanted to present it. Credit goes to my friend.. By the way, this is fiction. 

The Scientists

Argument Scene

Kevin: Rectifying science with religion has been my life dream. I hoped to prove that science and religion are two actually compatible fields – two different approaches to finding the same truth. And recently . . . I conceived a way to do that.

Assistant Scientist: He devised an experiment one had hoped would settle one of the most bitter argument in the history of science and religion.

Galileo: Creationism

Aristotle: The Bible states that God created the universe.

Newton: And God said, “Let there be light”? and everything we see appeared out of vast emptiness. Unfortunately, one of the fundamentals of physics states that matter cannot be created out of nothing.

Sagan: That contradicts the accepted law of modern physics. Genesis is scientifically absurd!

Kevin: Scientists, I assume that you are familiar with the Big Bang Theory?

Assistant Scientist: According to the theory, a single point of intensely focused energy erupted in a cataclysmic explosion, expanding outward to form a universe.

Sagan: Sadly, the theory have one serious flow.

Kevin: The singularity. The exact moment of creation. Time Zero.

Kaku: But even today, science cannot grasp the initial time of creation.

Aristotle: And this church holds up this problem as a proof of God’s miraculous involvement.

Kevin: I believe in God’s involvement in Big Bang Theory. I want science to support the concept of Religion. I want to prove that Genesis is possible.

Einstein: Create universe out of nothing at all! Impossible!

Kevin: Better said . . . recreated the Big Bang Theory.

All scientist: But HOW?

Assistant Scientist: We accelerated two ultrathin particle in opposite direction around the accelerator tube. The two will eventually collide at enormous speed , compressing all their energy into a single new energy.

Kevin: Inside the accelerator, at the highly point of energy, particles of another matter appeared.

Einstein: Then it proves that Genesis and Creation can be explained by accepting the presence of an enormous source of energy.

Galileo: You mean God?

Kevin: God, Yahweh, the unified point –call it whatever you like – the result is the same, science and religion support the same truth – pure energy is the Father of Creation.

Galileo: And in those canisters are specimens of the matter he created?

Kevin: Actually, this is unique. Another type of matter.

Aristotle: What? There is only one matter . . . simple matter . . .

Kevin: What does the Bible say about the creation?

Aristotle: God created light and dark, heaven and hell . . .

Kevin: Exactly! He created everything in symmetry. Perfect balance.

Kaku: Like in my M-theory or Parallel worlds. Science claims that the Big Bang created everything in the universe with the opposite. Protons and electrons, up-quarks and down-quarks.

Sagan: Including matter itself.

Kevin: Scientists you are looking at world’s first ANTI-MATTER!

(all scientists got amazed)

Galileo: The duality. Fact of nature.

Newton: How did you contain it?

Sagan: Anti-matter cannot touch any matter … even air. Energetically speaking, anti-matter is the mirror image of matter, so the two instantly cancel each other if they come in contact, an annihilation.

Kaku: Large amounts of energy will be released. An explotion just like Big Bang Theory.

Kevin: We built a polarity vacuum and applied the magnetic field.

Newton: Matter arched right, and anti-matter arched left.

Kevin: Therefore, anti-matter is suspended from the canister. Here I will show you the Annihilation , the energy of Anti matter, the Genesis . . . (off magnetic field)

(a brilliant point of light emerged, then in an instant rushed back inward.)
