This book is the result of more than ten years of studying the arguments for and against the theories of the Big Bang and evolution, a study that also implied the search for the right religion and the true Church of Christ. The book addresses topics such as:

- What is the difference between KNOWING and BELIEVING? Do we actually KNOW anything, or do we just BELIEVE things?

- Can science correctly answer any question?

- Are there any limits to what we can learn through scientific experimentation?

- Is the earth billions of years old?

- How complex is a “simple” cell?

- Can the body develop and function without a soul? Can protein folding be explained purely by naturalistic means?

- Can life emerge by itself?

- Can living beings evolve?

- Are there any transitional fossils?

- Are there other ancient accounts that confirm the Biblical accounts about the flood and about Joshua's long day?

- Which religion is the right one?

- What exactly is sin? Is it just a bad deed, or is there a deeper meaning?

- What is repentance, and why exactly is there no repentance after the death of the body?

- What are heaven and hell in the teaching of the Orthodox Church?

- Are there any aliens? Who are they?

The book is not a translation, the author wrote the original in both Romanian and English.
