heavenly journeys and visions in apocryphal texts. While believers see his rapture as a divine revelation, symbolic interpretations offer deeper spiritual insights. But what if Enoch’s visions were not religious revelations but accounts of extraterrestrial encounters? From ancient myths to modern speculations—Enoch’s story remains mysterious, offering room for a wide range of interpretations.
The question of why there is something rather than nothing is one of the most fundamental and profound challenges in philosophy and science. It not only touches upon the nature of reality but also upon the origin of everything—space, time, matter, energy, and the laws governing them all. This question pushes us to the limits of our understanding and our ability to grasp existence itself. For millennia, humans have pondered this question, and to this day, it remains an open, elusive, yet deeply engaging challenge for human thought.
Veganism started as an ethical choice to minimize animal suffering but has increasingly evolved into an ideological movement with religious overtones. In its extreme form, vegans are portrayed as morally superior, while non-vegans are seen as ethically inferior. Like religions, there are rituals, proselytism, and rigid dogmas that often disregard scientific facts. Instead of true freedom, radical veganism leads to a new, divisive dogma that polarizes society and demands ideological conformity.
The history of humanity is shaped by a wide range of philosophical schools and ideologies.

A detailed overview sheds light on the major movements and their evolution over millennia.

And how does this lead us to a happier, more meaningful life?

Does science contradict religion or complement it? With each new discovery, the boundary of the unknown shifts. The role of religion seems to shrink as science advances further. Is this a natural progression, or will humanity one day find that there are questions even science cannot answer?
Religious criticism has evolved from early attempts in antiquity, through profound philosophical debates in the Enlightenment, to radical socio-critical and psychological analyses in the 19th and 20th centuries. Critics like Deschner and Ibn Warraq have expanded the debate to Christianity and Islam, while the New Atheist movement challenges the role of religion in a scientifically oriented world. This development shows the increasing willingness to treat religious beliefs as subjects of rational and ethical criticism.
Christianity is not the universal truth it claims to be. It ignores the diversity of religions and worldviews while asserting its own exclusive claim to truth. Religion is always embedded in time and space, and none is universal to all of humanity. Christianity spreads like a cancer in poor countries, financed by questionable methods. Even when it presents itself as charity,
there is often self-interest behind it. Can an omnipotent, good God truly be responsible for the suffering in the world?
