"I grew up in a magical world. Negative words attracted negative experiences. Thought, like a metaphysical sculptor taking the circumstances of the world as raw material, had the incredible power to bring about the most diverse imagined situations. All environments and people manifested good or bad energies capable of positively or negatively affecting the course of my existence. I had a personal relationship with the omnipotent Being who created the universe. He was permanently at my disposal like a customer service that never shuts down. Fortunately for me, commerce with the beyond was ...

A bold philosophical defense of existential nihilism based on modern science. * * * When we imagine a machine, the result is always something close to a mechanical system that works by itself. It doesn’t bother us to think that it’s nothing beyond that. But how do we feel when we imagine ourselves as a machine? Empty. We have the feeling that something is missing. And what is missing? What’s there in a human that is missing in a machine? Illusion. The emptiness of the machine is the consciousness that our subjective world is a fiction; the consciousness that our humanity is a delirium...

My primary objective is to offer a thorough and balanced exploration of Islam, a religion often perceived as a divine and absolute truth applicable to all times and contexts.

Thought-provoking essays on the conflict between fundamentalist religion and science, and exposing the anti-science, extremist political agenda of the modern creationist industry. Based on the popular Rosa Rubicondior blog rosarubicondior.blogspot.com. (Beware of abusive imitations).

In an era where traditional sources of meaning—faith, community, and shared values—are increasingly eroded by modernity and secularization, many find themselves adrift in a sea of existential uncertainty. This pervasive sense of disconnection and purposelessness has given rise to what is now recognized as the “meaning crisis.” This book delves into the historical, psychological, and sociological dimensions of this crisis, examining how societal shifts have contributed to our current malaise. It then explores the Christian narrative as a profound and enduring response, offering a ...

A biographical exposé of the dark side of modern corporate religion, as told by a former Evangelical fundamentalist Christian minister turned gay activist. Says Tom, "How did I ever fall for it? When I accepted Jesus Christ into my heart as my personal Lord and savior, I went all in. Years later I had to struggle to find a way to get out of both the ministry and the closet as well. I was a gay man trapped in the ranks of the Fightin' Fundies - constantly mentally recording their every word."

Unbelievers looks back to the middle ages when it seemed impossible not to subscribe to Christianity, through the crisis of the Reformation and to the powerful, challenging cultural currents of the centuries. The religious journey of the Western world was lived and steered not just by the celebrated thinkers of the day – the Machiavellis and Michel de Montaignes – but by men and women at every level of society, whose voices and feelings permeate this book in the form of diaries, letters and court records.

The human being has the need to understand and explain the world. Since human groups have replaced the nomadic way of life with a sedentary lifestyle, established in cities, religions have grown in importance as a source of answers to the world around us. The ancient religions were tribal, contained several gods and went through syncretism with the religions of other tribes and states. Of the tribal gods one has become the most influential today, YHWH, or simply God, as most people know. YHWH has left throughout history to be a tribal god in a polytheistic society, to be the unique God of ...

In 2011, a minor news story made headlines and turned Lori Arnold McFarlane’s comfortable life upside down. Residing in Scotland, her life seemed pretty close to perfect – a beautiful family, wonderful friends, a breath-taking view of the Clyde, and a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ. An evangelical Christian and a Calvinist, McFarlane’s deepest desire was to glorify and enjoy her God forever. But when a tiny group of religious fanatics began preaching doom and gloom and the End of Days, she found herself suddenly and unwillingly questioning everything she’d ever believed. ...

A systematic refutation of creationism, exposing the childish parodies, fallacies and pseudo-science that underpins it. This book takes the reader through the major themes of creationism from the Big Bang, through abiogenesis and the origin of the genetic code, the evidence for evolution, falsifying the claims of creationism with scientific evidence. Also exposed is the deliberate disinformation to be found on creationist websites and publications and the absurdity of the belief that the Bible, particularly the origin myths in Genesis, is real science and genuine history, written or ...

ID is not a problem for science; rather science is a problem for ID. This book shows why. It exposes the fallacy of Intelligent Design by showing that, when examined in detail, biological systems are anything but intelligently designed. They show no signs of a plan and are quite ludicrously complex for whatever can be described as a purpose. The Intelligent Design movement relies on almost total ignorance of biological science and seemingly limitless credulity in its target marks. Its only real appeal appears to be to those who find science too difficult or too much trouble to learn yet ...

Religious beliefs and institutions continue to be the cause of many problems around the world. Over the last 100,000+ years humankind has gone through three different phases in trying to understand and explain how things came to be: The Magical, The Religious and now The Scientific.Is it now time to dispense with mythology and superstitions as a way to live our lives and fully embrace the scientific method?

Whether part of polytheistic or monotheistic systems, the concept of God is one of humanity’s oldest attempts to explain the mysteries of life. Today, however, the idea of God feels increasingly foreign, gradually fading from the consciousness of many. The gap between humans and the divine seems to grow wider, and religion appears increasingly out of place in a world dominated by scientific culture, which directs our attention to the physical, material world. In philosophy, the question of God’s existence is a central metaphysical issue—arguably, the metaphysical issue par excellence....

Introduction: Dialogues at the Crossroads of Belief In an increasingly diverse world, where opinions span a vast spectrum and beliefs intermingle more than ever, dialogues about faith and atheism are commonplace. The discourse between believers and non-believers has existed for centuries, but today, the conversations are more nuanced, enriched by science, philosophy, and cultural shifts. "How to Win an Argument With an Atheist" is not a guide to 'defeating' someone in debate, but rather a tool to foster understanding, provide sound reasoning, and bridge the gap between two seemingly opposed...

Evolutionary arms races are the basis for co-evolutionary cooperation and ecosystems and are fundamental to biology and biodiversity, yet they cannot logically be described as intelligently designed because competing against yourself in an arms race is not an act of intelligence nor of design. Arms races account for the needless complexity and prolific waste seen in nature when you look beneath the superficial resemblamce of design and are responsible for the major advances in evolution, from the evolution of eukaryote cells, the evolution of multicellularity, the evolution of coral reefs, ...
