Is Anybody out There?


Book Description

Are we alone? Or is the universe teeming with intelligent life? Can we expect extraterrestrial civilizations to be common? Occasional? Rare? In this wide-ranging essay, writer/journalist/historian Nigel Bob Collins explores the probabilities of the existence of extraterrestrial, technological life based on the latest scientific findings. Not content with the well-worn assertion that life must be common because there are so many planets, Collins undertakes a thorough analysis of just what it would take for technological societies to arise on other planets. From quantifying the number of habitable planets, to examining the genesis and development of life on this planet, to grappling with the emergence of intelligence in our own species, Collins leaves no stone unturned. The number of scientific topics addressed may appear daunting, but the author’s non-technical, sardonic style makes this work imminently readable. Though written for the lay reader, the findings in this essay may well open the eyes of many in the scientific community.




Is There Anybody Out There?


Book Description

This is the story of a little girl who was destined to suffer since she was three years old sexually, mentally, and physically abused until she was forty-six. At three years old, she started being abused by her stepsister's husband, her aunts, her cousins, her father, her father's best friend, her doctors, and, last but not least, her husband. The beauty of all this is that at forty-six years old, she went for counseling and got healed and delivered and learned to forgive each and every person who did her so much wrong. And she was blessed with a position as a parent educator with the school district, and she used every abuse since she was just three years old until she was forty-six to educate parents and young couples on how to not trust just anyone with their little ones and their teenagers. And how, when couples mistreat each other, we are hurting our children and teaching them that lifestyle without knowing we are risking our children to marry abusers when they grow up. She did this for fifteen years. She wasn't afraid, embarrassed, or ashamed to speak the truth to be able to help others, especially the children. Please don't criticize or laugh about what you are about to read: this is a real story, and it is still going on today in a lot of homes, hospitals, and schools. And it will continue if there is not enough of us brave enough to speak up and do something for the sake of our loved ones, especially for the children who can't defend themselves.
