  • If the Universe Is Teeming with Aliens ... WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
    Stephen Webb
    Given the fact that there are perhaps 400 billion stars in our Galaxy alone, and perhaps 400 billion galaxies in the Universe, it stands to reason that somewhere out there, in the 14-billion-year-old cosmos, there is or once was a civilization at least as advanced as our own. The sheer enormity of the numbers almost demands that we accept the truth of this hypothesis. Why, then...

  • The Dome of Eden
    Stephen H. Webb / Stephen HWebb
    What would biology look like if it took the problem of natural evil seriously?

He describes the entire military connection that found expression in the garrisoned cities of England, Scotland, and Ireland and...
