How to build a better brain
The first time he saw a living human brain, neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta says it became “a powerful and life-changing experience."
The great astonishment
I was talking to the man I call Professor and I asked him, "I know you had reservations about getting baptised. Why did you decide to do it anyway? What was the deciding factor?"
Thinking as self-defence
No one has ever seen a thought, not even a neurosurgeon. However, today we know more about the way we think than what we were able to visualise, yet still less than we would like to know.
The Second Coming Files: A 2000-Year Inquiry | Part VI: Waiting for the return of Jesus in 19th century...
The expectation of the soon return of Jesus in 19th century Europe and America has left a path for believers and future believers to tread with confidence.

"Religion is what is in my soul. No one can take away what is there. But in public we have to comply..."
Gethsemane, the garden of the divine sighs
As soon as the tourists leave the land of the silent agony of Gethsemane, their lives return to normal, and the garden where the Son of God sobbed in indescribable pain, misunderstood and unsupported even by His closest disciples, sinks back into oblivion.

“Influencers pay double.” With this message, Joe Nichhi, the owner of a small ice cream business, tried to deter self-proclaimed celebrities who would ask him to give them free ice cream in exchange for “exposure” on their social media platforms.
