About this listen
Right Angle Books proudly presents a story that may change the way you look at the natural world and make you ponder how you interact with it.
Two million years BCE: A plant-eating hominid in the African Rift Vally discovers that taking life from the things that live and move can provide a new way to survive.
December 1945: A black goat wanders into a cave in upper Egypt and its owner finds a partially buried 800-year-old gospel said to be authored by Jesus's twin brother, Didymus Judas Thomas. It contains only the words spoken by Jesus and mentions nothing about miracles or divinity. A verse suggests that Jesus pondered the possibility of a material origin of God and spirituality. If embraced, Christianity will have to be reimagined.
Today: A sea lion approaches a diver-scientist for help removing a fishhook from his flipper. The encounter will start Dr. Peter Shelley on a journey that will change his life. A few hundred miles south, a hospital neurologist sees a horrifying artificial intelligence-generated image on his laptop that causes him to euthanize his patient and end his own life. A neuroscientist, a giant street corner philosopher, a comparative religion scholar, a lawyer, a consultant to the livestock industry, a slaughterhouse worker, a pope, and a president get a terrifying glimpse at the origin of natural evil. The vision they encounter will send them on a mission that will both horrify and enlighten mankind.
