Recently, I had a discussion with a friend. He said that I need to accept and respect his views. I do accept and respect his views but I do not agree with all of his views. Moreover, acceptance and respect must be mutual. Unfortunately, different views do not seem acceptable to Jehovah Witnesses. My views did not even contradict his JW views. I just told him that...
Faith vs Religion
Zien is geloven
Woorden zijn zelden genoeg om erin te geloven. Al te vaak zijn die woorden eigenlijk betekenisloos door een gebrek aan daaropvolgende daden.

Initially, I assumed that Lightbearers are (science) fiction. Subsequently, I...
Is a Universal design likely?
My question above just occurred to me. It relates to the Blueprint of Life, a blog topic since 2015. On planet Earth, Life suggests a blueprint (eg, arms, ears, eyes, head, legs, mouth, nose, spine). Recent news suggests the possible existence of past microbial life on Mars (eg, BBC, Guardian, NASA, Reuters). Nevertheless, Matter (eg, moons, planets, suns), and...
