God’s Blueprint Scientific Evidence that Earth was Created for Humans Christopher Knight This book puts the idea of God on trial. While the case has been hotly disputed over recent generations with scientists on one side and theologians on the other, evidence either way has been thin on the ground. However, new information has become available, which appears to provide hard-nosed evidence of God’s existence. Can faith be replaced by understanding, and can scientists formally embrace the concept of a supreme being? Christopher Knight is the co-author of The Hiram Key, The Hiram Key Revisited, Solomon’s Power Brokers, Who Built The Moon? and Civilisation One.

The Lost Teachings of the Cathars Their Beliefs and Practices Andrew Phillip Smith

The Secret History of the Gnostics Their Scriptures, Beliefs and Practices Andrew Phillip Smith
