On December 11, 2009, Author William Moreira embarked upon a South American cruise aboard the Costa Concordia. In the wee hours of that first sleepless night, as the cruiser steamed for its first port of call, he decided to take a stroll along the ships top deck. There was no moon, and the dark ocean and sky met and fused into one. The only demarcation between heaven and hell was the glistening light of the infinite galaxies and stars. Suddenly, filled with an incredible feeling of inspiration, Moreira put pen to paper, words exploding onto the page. He wrote and wrote, not stopping until a burst of morning sunshine climbed over the horizon to announce the arrival of a new day of Gods great creation. Over the course of seven similar nights, God! The Realities of the Creator was born. This labor of love, inspired by the great canvas known as the universe, explores the deep theological and philosophical questions that reside deep within our hearts: Who is God? What is God? How did the Universe come to be? Moreira weaves his answers into a larger tapestry of personal stories and anecdotes, making God! The Realities of the Creator both engaging and relatable. He concludes by offering an eleventh commandment to deal with complexities of a changing world.
Author William Moreira has spent decades studying and seeking Godsometimes while flying high above the clouds in his Cessna. In that time, he has discovered that God is everywhere. Now, in this new study, he takes issue with Stephen Hawking and other scientists and individuals who argue against Gods existence. He seeks to disprove their theories and contemplates ways you can use your brain to discover the true nature of the universe; live in a manner that will lead to a happy place in eternity; and argue against the theories of Hawking and his constituents. While some aspects of the universe will remain a mystery, its clear that God exists. Whats more, its up to you to find the right path to moral evolution. You must look at the infinity of the illuminated dark matter encrusted within the stars and, in exaltation, accept that there is a super power and that God is everywhere. Join Moreira as he takes on various foolish views about the universe and existence. You can find faith, understanding, and the knowledge needed to live a more fulfilling life with The Big Nest Originated the Big Bang of Stephen Hawkings Black Holes.
William Moreira doesnt appreciate hearing the theories of geniuses like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. Their ideas make him feel like hes back in kindergarten listening to big-mouthed kids calling attention to themselves while mocking others. Instead of trying to solve real problems, these kids are spreading crazy ideas. These geniuses should stop thinking about reaching places billions of light years away so they can focus on critical, daily-bread problems, and the calamities that could befall us today that might prevent a tomorrow. Instead, we must contend with modern cars that only get fourteen to thirty miles per gallon, gas polluting the ground, toxins leaking into the air, and acid rain spoiling our drinking water. Our life on Earth is a comedy, as said Dante; we laugh and cry, but we must stop glorifying nonsense. We must look at the future through rational eyes and not worry about whether light is a wave or particles or both. Join the author as he pokes fun at some of historys greatest minds and seeks real solutions to real problems in The Age of Reason.
Thought to be the father of modern witchcraft, Gerald Gardner published The Meaning of Witchcraft in 1959, not long after laws punishing witches were repealed. It was the first sympathetic book written from the point of view of a practicing witch. The Meaning of Witchcraft is an invaluable source book for witches today. Chapters include: Witch's Memories and Beliefs, The Stone Age Origins of Witchcraft, Druidism and the Aryan Celts, Magic Thinking, Curious Beliefs about Witches, Signs and Symbols, The Black Mass, Some Allegations Examined. The Meaning of Witchcraft is a record of witches' roots-and a tribute to a founding pioneer with the courage to set that record straight.
In this book Michael Martin provides logical reasons for being an atheist. Carefully examining the current debate in Anglo-American analytic philosophy regarding God's existence, Martin presents a comprehensive critique of the arguments for the existence of God and a defense of arguments against the existence of God, showing in detail their relevance to atheism. Claiming that atheism is a rational position while theistic beliefs are not, he relies both on logic and evidence and confines his efforts to showing the irrationality of belief in a personal supreme being who is omniscient, omnipotent, perfect, and the creator of heaven and earth. The author's approach is two-fold. By presenting and criticizing arguments that have been advanced in favor of belief, he makes a case for "negative atheism." By offering arguments against atheism and defending it from these attacks, he presents a case for "positive atheism." Along the way, he confronts the views of numerous philosophers—among them Anselm, Aquinas, Plantinga, Hick, and Swinburne—and refutes both classical and contemporary arguments that have been advanced through the history of this debate. In his conclusion, Martin considers what would and would not follow if his main arguments were widely accepted, and he defines and distinguishes atheism from other "isms" and movements. Building on the work of religious skeptics and atheists of the past and present, he justifies his reconstruction of this philosophical dispute by citing some of the most interesting and important arguments for atheism and criticisms of arguments for the existence of God that have appeared in recent journal articles and have yet to be systematically addressed. Author note: Michael Martin is Professor of Philosophy at Boston University and author of several books, including The Legal Philosophy of H.L.A. Hart: A Critical Appraisal and The Case Against Christianity (both from Temple).
