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...
Sometimes an article compels me to writing about it, like The invention of the soul by Nicholas Humphrey, a theoretical psychologist.

A recent (Dutch) Volkskrant article claims that the Denisovan people were giants. Some even claim 18 foot; others 6-7 foot. Giants are also mentioned elsewhere: "The Nephilim are mysterious beings or humans in the Bible traditionally understood as being of great size and strength [..]" (Wiki).
