About Time
January 3, 2025 Reading time: 4 minutes
In In the beginning, there was no time, no space. Then, something extraordinary happened. The Big Bang occurred, giving rise to an expanding Universe filled with atoms, molecules, stars, planets, and galaxies.
Time propels us-and everything around us-forward, transforming the present into the past as we move into the future. We comprehend the past through memories and the traces of activity imprinted on material objects.
Have we misunderstood the very nature of existence?

Materialists believe that this world exists independently of us. It consists of atoms, molecules, planets, stars, and galaxies. It just happens that there are billions of humans, who, like other animals, are seen as biological robots. They interact with material objects and one another, moving from place to place. Atop their bodies are computational elements - their brains - which have evolved through natural evolutionary processes as tools for survival. These beings store information within their interconnected cells. When they die, the structured cells that hold the memories of life disappear entirely. New organisms are then born, continuing the biological cycle of reproduction and survival.
But what if this view of the world is completely wrong? What if everything you thought you knew about life and death does not follow this materialistic concept?
Unusual coincidences as design patterns pointing to an intelligent influence

After publishing my book, "The Designed World of Information: Unveiling the Incredible Realm Beyond" [1], several of my colleagues asked me to briefly summarize why I believe that unusual coincidences might offer insights into understanding this world. Indeed, reading a book with over 460 pages is no easy task. So, I decided it would be useful to provide a short summary.
As I mentioned many times in the book, noticing coincidences in people's lives is not particularly unusual. It is simply the law of large numbers. Something is always happening somewhere, and given the sheer number of people, it is perfectly normal to observe coincidences. The effect of coincidences becomes intriguing when one focuses on a small sample of people chosen based on criteria unrelated to coincidences, but who are also connected by meaningful relationships. My book argues that one can build a completely unbiased statistical sample of a group of people, and a simple statistical inference applied to such a group can demonstrate how unlikely certain events are.
Coincidences as an argument for the existence of god
October 30, 2024 Reading time: 9 minutes
The key question of our lives is the question of the existence of God (or gods, in the case of polytheism). This question can be framed more generally: Are we merely complex, self-operating mechanisms created by random forces, atoms and molecules that are entirely indifferent to human beings?
There is considerable evidence suggesting that we are more than just robots with computational capabilities and that the Universe is not merely a materialistic "thing" created by a quantum fluctuation during the Big Bang, which happened to remain stable long enough to support self-organizing molecules and subsequent evolutionary processes.
