How in the world can any entity, no matter how supreme, know everything that’s happening everywhere, all at once, in real time, and with atomic-level intimacy?To the strict materialist, it sounds like an impossibility, a wondrous but completely illogical relic of ancient philoso...

Long before Gagarin’s historic flight, generations of explorers, philosophers, and engineers were preparing Russia for its leap into space The conquest of frontiers and expansion into the unknown are often considered distinctly American pursuits.
