	I don't always have a huge amount of time, it's nice and concise. I've got a certain respect for the Independent, so I'm confident it's fairly well researched stuff. The editors seem to have enough of a sense of humour to print some of the sillier stuff, and generally, the big stories in the middle of the paper tend to be of interest to me.

powerful life-changing book, dealing with wonders over the centuries!
Finally - the most thought-provoking questions answered! Why are we here?
What is our purpose? Who is God? What is really happening beyond Earth, on

	no?"To question is not to be disruptive. To question is to understand the
truth." De Silver presents a variety of fascinating topics, giving an
insight into some of humanity's deepest secrets - past and present. Many
people ask themselves whether there is more to the daily workhorse lives
that we lead. On a subconscious level, the mind seems to be aware of such
secrets. Evidence shows that Adam and Eve were not the first humans on
Earth, and were actually genetically engineered. If pyramids were built by
Egyptians, why are pyramids discovered all over the world and even in the
ocean near Japan? How were the Moon and Earth formed? Do their origins
reveal something deep and dark? Why does the Moon affect our emotions on
Earth? Is the Earth actually a micro-organism in comparison with other
planets and stars? Why haven't we been told of the stunning artificial
changes in the formation of Saturn's rings? Ancient scriptures from around
the world such as Egypt, Sumer, India, China and Tibet, tell us of a
phenomenally futuristic past! This book is a must-read sensation.
