Fire, Flint and Faith

by Xavier L. Suarez

Overview

Fire, Flint and Faith is a coherent and holistic - but also entertaining - journey through the history of the universe. Following on other works by the author which analyze otherwise unexplainable jumps in the history of our planet, this book focuses on the so-called "Great Leap Forward" that scientists believe connected our species to our animal ancestors. Using history, science and logic, the author convincingly debunks the latest in a scientific materialism, which argues that "only matter matters." Instead, the author uses recent scientic discoveries and common sense to suggest that humans are a marvelous combination of body, mind and spirit. Told in a conversational style that any adult can comprehend, the book goes on to conclude that humans are a wonderful combination of body, mind and spirit. In the process, it debunks the notion that "only matter matters," as taught by some modern academicians.
