Did You Hear the One About the Theologian at the Zoo?
David Mamet's July 10 op-ed on the Scopes trial play ('Political Theater Makes Bad Drama,' July 10) reminds me of a joke about a German theology professor who, while visiting the zoo, saw a troubled gorilla, pacing back and forth with a Bible in one hand and Darwin's writing in the other. 'What's bothering you?' the professor asked. 'I cannot decide whether I am my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother,' the gorilla replied. Neither book refutes the other. Good Christians and troubled gorillas can benefit from reading both if they understand that the books deal with different topics. Both use reason and foundational assumptions to explore different issues. When public schools attempt to characterize religious issues as if they conflict with settled science, they overstep their bounds.

Melbourne's first Hologram Zoo opening in Ringwood Square
Don't miss out on the headlines from East . Followed categories will be added to My News. Majestic humpback whales, herds of elephants, tigers and even extinct dinosaurs will be on display at a new zoo in Ringwood. The only catch? All the animals will be life-size 3D holograms. Eastern suburbs locals Kerri Pearce and Andrew Campey will open Melbourne's first Hologram Zoo at Ringwood Square on Saturday. 'We are so excited to have people come face-to-face with animals in a way they would never be able to see them,' Dr Pearce said. The zoo will have 20 different wildlife enclosures with animals from the sea, savanah, rainforests and even extinct dinosaurs. It will also have a function space for parties and a photo studio. 'We are both vegans and nerds that want to pour our heart and souls in conservation,' Dr Pearce said. 'This zoo is a more sustainable way to connect with nature and a responsible way to experience wildlife without captivity. 'No live animals means zero environmental footprint while still inspiring a love for wildlife and conservation.' Dr Pearce said the 20 enclosures are just the beginning for the Hologram Zoo, with more animal encounters and experiences to be added to the space in the coming months. The holograms were created by Bruce Dell's Axiom Holographics, the company behind Bill Gates' hologram aquarium in the Maldives and a hologram table for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Hologram Zoo is located at 24 Charter St, Ringwood.
