What if the most important question about UFOs is not what they are—but how they are interpreted? Aerial Deceptions, Version 2 expands the analytical framework introduced in the first volume by examining anomalous aerial and encounter reports across multiple centuries, cultures, and interpretive systems. Rather than proposing a single explanation, this book asks a more difficult question: why do radically different historical traditions describe extraordinary experiences in structurally similar ways—and where do those similarities break down? Building on modern case analysis, Version 2 ...

Christian doctrine sees creation not as a one-time event but rather as an eternal outpouring of divine merciful love.

One of the most fundamental axioms of Christianity is the faith in the historical existence of Jesus, in his miracles, his martyrdom on the cross and his resurrection as described in the New Testament. But is there any historical evidence for all the above? Is this a true story or another myth? These exact questions are raised by Mythicism, a movement that since the Enlightenment advocates that many old gods, including Jesus, are not real persons. Also, mythicists detect archetypal similarities between a large number of pre-Christian deities and texts that lead to fascinating conclusions. ...

The human brain acquired its present genetic capacity, which flowered in language, a thousand centuries ago. Our brains evolved from this technique of mapping meaning to symbolic sounds which has made our species dominant over all others on Earth - culture. However culture is a two-edged sword that can defy natural selection when the childlike literal thinking from a forgotten symbolic understanding of traditional culture prevents the change in our way of life, urgently required by our environment for our species to survive.
