The shed holding students’ bike exploded and the principal sent the students home early. However, there is no one at home waiting for Sam so he has to stay at school. Luckily, his Uncle Jack shows up to investigate what may have been a meteorite strike. Later, Uncle Jack talks about the universe in Sam’s class. It created a controversy since Jack goes to a Christian School that is not supportive of the Big Bang Theory. Visits from a horse-loving mother and a vicar leave more questions than answers. The solution is a five-day class trip to find some answers to the conflict between evolution and god’s existence. On the trip, they look at landmark, the stars, experiment with DNA, and learn about Darwinism. According to the authors, science and theology can coexist. There are numerous sidebars on the science topics with additional information, activities, and websites to investigate.
