From the Paper:

"Since the beginning of time, when we humans were given the ability to think logically, the inevitable questions of creation and God have confounded us. There have been many attempts by many great philosophers to answer such questions, but with such variety of scholars, comes a variety of ideas. This is even more apparent as we travel around the world looking at different perspectives of people from different cultures."
