The Trial

On the Seventh Day, God rested, dreaming of His Creation. When God wakes (after 18 billion years), He encounters a world filled with violence, desperation, and God-lessness. His active dream of perfection has become a total nightmare. In response to this calamity, God's Conscience takes God to trial in the Court of Heaven. To God's defense comes Adam, his first son, and Plato, the Philosopher. The Prosecution calls forth Rufus and Cicero, with Lucifer joining them. As the trial intensifies, new witnesses are called: Eve (Adam's wife), Jesus of Nazareth, St. Augustine, Mark Twain and the late Christopher Hitchens. While the defense tries to prove God "not guilty" by virtue of "not having been awake," the prosecution attempts to show beyond a reasonable doubt a universe that evolved by itself. Will evolution exonerate the existence of God, leaving mankind in the hands of science and to his own moral equity, or will God reform the chaotic universe led into evil by His prevailing nightmare?
