OrOgins a game where Creationists & Evolutionists battle for humanity using Earth, Water, Fire and Air.
Where did we come from? Do we all descend from one man and one woman? Or did we evolve from apes or ape like creatures? Did it take six days as Creationists argue or did it take more like six million years as Evolutionists contend?

CREATIONISTS
One of the most well-known and popular accounts of Creation states:
And God said, ìLet the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.î And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, ìLet us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.î
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.

EVOLUTIONISTS
The Evolutionist debate is encapsulated in the seminal work of Charles Darwin The Descent of Man (1871) who wrote:
ìWe must, however, acknowledge, as it seems to me, that man with all his noble qualities, with sympathy which feels for the most debased, with benevolence which extends not only to other men but to the humblest living creature, with his god-like intellect which has penetrated into the movements and constitution of the solar system - with all these exalted powers - Man still bears in his bodily frame the indelible stamp of his lowly origin.î

OROGINS
The debate between Creationists and Evolutionists is embodied in OrOgins. Did it take 6 days as many holy books state or did it take 6 million years for humanity to evolve.
In this strategy board game for two, the opponents martial their four elements Earth, Water, Fire and Air and do battle to see who will be the first to safely cross the middle six rows with either Man & Woman or Apeman & Apewoman.
