What if Earth was never meant to explain itself? Experiment Earth: Book One — The Origin Protocol is a speculative nonfiction exploration of a single unsettling idea: that Earth behaves less like an accident and more like a system. Written by Amani Quest, this book blends science, philosophy, mythology, and systems analysis to examine why Earth is so precisely balanced for complexity, why humanity emerges as a disruptive variable, and why suffering, collapse, and silence persist without explanation.

Three Great Questions face everyone. Does God exist? Where did we come from? Do we have free-will? These questions resist certainty. Believers and unbelievers continually debate these questions. Why is it that two honest and intelligent people can examine the same evidence and come to radically different conclusions? Ideas drive movements which have consequences. In the last century certain modern ideas helped produce two World Wars, the Holocaust, the rise of Communism and the Sexual Revolution. A look at history shows that ideas can lead to catastrophic results. Betrayed trust and ...

The medieval Catholic Church, widely considered a source of intolerance and inquisitorial fervor, was not anti-science during the Dark Ages - in fact, the pope in the year 1000 was the leading mathematician and astronomer of his day. Called The Scientist Pope, Gerbert of Aurillac rose from peasant beginnings to lead the church. By turns a teacher, traitor, kingmaker, and visionary, Gerbert is the first Christian known to teach math using the nine Arabic numerals and zero.

In the 20th century, we have witnessed one of the most remarkable discoveries in recorded history: the discovery that the universe is finite. The implications of this discovery are indeed staggering. Beginning with Albert Einstein in 1903, 20th-century physicists have demonstrated that space-time and matter had a finite, simultaneous beginning!

Historian Philip Jenkins draws out the complex relationship between religion and climate change. He asserts that the religious movements and ideas that emerge from climate shocks often last for many decades, and even become a familiar part of the religious landscape. By stirring conflicts and provoking persecutions that defined themselves in religious terms, changes in climate have redrawn the world's religious maps, and created the global concentrations of believers as we know them today.

What kind of chicanery is flat earth? Get serious! Everyone knows the earth is not flat, right? Perhaps you have thought to yourself, "Flat earth? Come on! How could I possibly have been deceived and fooled into believing the world is a sphere in a heliocentric system if the earth is really flat? No one could fool me my entire life! And there's no way they could fool the entire world!" Deception is the rule, not the exception, and most Christians have no idea how evil heliocentrism is, or how it deceives and enslaves the mind and our belief systems. For the first time, this book will ...

Romans 9-11 may be the most perplexing portion of the Pauline Epistles. These three chapters are teeming with citations from the Hebrew Scriptures. Paul’s purpose for the quotations is often obscure, the logic of his reasoning is confusing, and attempts to understand what he is telling us can be frustrating. Dr. Anne Davis has recovered ancient Hebraic methods of searching the Scriptures, which penetrate Paul's mysteries and explain how "all Israel will be saved."

Two pastors from Southern Oregon (one, a Republican, and the other, a Democrat) lay aside their political differences to examine marijuana and cannabis through two lenses: hard science, including medical journals from both inside and outside the US, as well as scripture itself.

A menudo conocemos las teorías que los grandes físicos de la historia han desarrollado, pero ignoramos aspectos biográficos que les han influido, como sus pensamientos teístas o ateos. A veces sus creencias han tenido un efecto en su ciencia y en otras ha sido la ciencia la cual ha influido en sus creencias. ¿Qué ideas religiosas tenían Aristóteles, Copérnico, Galileo, Einstein o Dirac? ¿Cómo influyó el contexto? Eduardo Battaner nos lo cuenta en este audiolibro desde una perspectiva objetiva e histórica.

Is the earth really just 6,000 years old, as many conservative Christians believe? Or is it really 4,500,000,000 years old, as the vast majority of scientists believe? It is a big difference.

This volume guides the reader step by step through the decisive texts: the encounter with Abraham, the blessing formula and the title “priest of God Most High,” then Psalm 110 with its divine oath, “a priest forever,” the interpretation in Hebrews, and finally the Qumran writing 11QMelchizedek, where Melchizedek is given an eschatological profile.
