In "Greater than Gods," a scientist and inventor working on a way to select the sex of unborn children opens up two possible futures for the human race. But when both potential futures begin to communicate with him, he finds his choice will determine the future of the whole human race in ways he never anticipated.

This is not your average teenage love story. This is a roller-coaster ride of a relationship concerning two teens, who couldn't be more different from each other. Donna is the result of a traditional and religious family; while Chris, is an atheist, retro-hippie from a liberal family. Initially, the courtship runs smoothly. Ultimately, their different beliefs and perspectives invade their similarities. It seems impossible for them to endure as a pair, except that they both share a quest for Truth and knowledge, as well as a strong, physical attraction, which makes it difficult for them to go their separate ways. Together, amid contentiousness with one another and admiration of one another, they claw at the Truth, while referencing the worlds of literature, religion and philosophy. As they try to answer many of life's questions, will their differences tear them apart? Only time will tell.
