The Nephilim| Fact or Fiction?
The Nephilim, or a race of giants that are said to have lived some 400,000 years ago, raise numerous questions about our origins. While there are no physical fossil remains of ancient Nephilim, there are traces of evidence in ancient texts and monoliths. There are also Biblical references to giants throughout the Old Testament. Perhaps…

This is a borrowed video post from Alex Michael Bonnici, a colleague from the Discovery Enterprise… What particularly caught my attention was the Herman Melville quote from ‘Moby Dick’, “I am tormented with an everlasting itch for things remote”. This itch is one that cannot be scratched to relief… The torment is what continues to…

Just a few short pages into Timothy Ferriss’ ‘The 4-Hour Workweek’, that ever so familiar question was right there in front of me…in black and white… “So, what do you do?” It’s a daunting question these days, and the answers that you find today are so very different than what one would have found ten,…

For those not familiar with this activity, also known as ‘terraforming’, it involves catalyzing the development of a new or altered ecosystem. The television program went on to suggest that as humans venture to Mars with…

The History Channel’s documentary Ancient Aliensis among the best on the subject of extraterrestrial influences on the development of the modern world. The documentary is built on Erich von Daniken’s famed book, ‘Chariots of the Gods‘. It makes me wonder… Generally speaking, it’s easier to be a skeptic than a believer. That holds true for…

About ten years ago, I offered a lecture at a science symposium that was geared towards the concept of a ‘business of exploration’ and ‘business of science’. Indeed, it was perhaps misplaced and a better target for a literacy or education type summit, and I was criticized for it. However, the presentation served its purpose…
