After Dan M. Mrejeru awakens one morning, he discovers a bag containing seven essays and dialogs he had dreamed about. Some of the topics these documents discussed were global warming, reincarnation, genetics, climate change, the greenhouse effect on the Gulf Stream, terrorism, the Big Bang, Atlantis, Neanderthals, the economy, homelessness, law enforcement, morality, ethics, communism, slavery, and poverty. The dialogs are between the souls of Herbert Hoover, Jackson Pollack, and Helen Keller, all of whom reside in a garbage pile. Read Seven Essays on Creation by Dan M. Mrejeru to learn what they had to say.

I enjoyed the different aspects given based on religious and scientific perspectives. The dialogs between Herbert, Jackson, and Helen are more straightforward to understand than the essays, which are difficult to read due to their complexity. I enjoyed the humor within the seven dialogs. One example is when Jackson stated, "Now we're hatching some ducklings." One of the topics I thought was particularly interesting was about weapons. It was thought-provoking that weapons are made to kill to control the number of prisoners taken. The more prisoners taken, the more it costs to provide them with food and medical care, which they need to survive. The significance of the garbage piles the souls live in gave me hope.

Although I found this book interesting, the complexity and technical narratives sometimes took work to follow. The author's use of acronyms like kyrBP and Hz that needed to be explained made the reading more difficult to understand. On top of this, this book has yet to be professionally edited. There are spacing errors, and a few examples of misspelled words are "globs" instead of "globes," "levees" instead of "leaves," and "relay" instead of "rely."

The number of errors disrupted the book's flow, impacting my reading enjoyment. I have deducted one star for the number of mistakes and another for the impact on my reading enjoyment. Therefore, my rating for this book is 3 out of 5 stars. I did not deduct any more stars because this book is thought-provoking and informative.

If you are interested in cosmology, philosophy, science, archeology, quantum physics, or religion, this book is for you. This book is appropriate for religious and non-religious believers because both topics are discussed.

It’s interesting to read about the opinions of Hoover, Pollock, and Keller. I’m sorry about the errors and complexity. I can see how they would make reading difficult.

This book is difficult to label because the themes developed in the essays are explored through discussions. With proper proofreading, it can be interesting to read. Thank you for your honest review!
