A long and complex deconstruction of some of the most common arguments for the movement known as Intelligent Design; that is, the belief that the universe was created through supernatural means, usually a God or deity. Does this view hold up under pressure? Did God really create the universe and the life within it, or are purely natural processes the cause? Read to find out!

that one SWURD
Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)
The Curse of the Broken Shrinking God
How can the two opposing forces survive when they both want to be the dragon? How much will one have to shrink in size before the curse is finally broken? The Dark One is so happy to be rid of the darkness he had constantly battled for a timeless eternity. But he must face the consequence of his actions facing his darkness head on. In part one God the dragon is as big as the universe put together, but us he begins to separate himself, his imagas turn against him. Both HaShem and Samael feel it is their destiny to unite the dragon once more. This leads to a battle the result of which the children of God become more and more broken and scattered in their thought. Once they were planets now they are ants. How small will they have to go before the dragon is whole again and God is once more the seven headed dragon? Each book faces another price that is paid in yet another fall of his images in the curse of the broken shrinking God. Part II: HaShem enjoys the love of his Father and finds love for his sister. She is belittled by her other brother yet HaShem wants to defend her. He finds he is willing to give up everything to see others share in that same simple love. Part III: Iniquity is complete; the resurrection takes place; creation is complete. This book is a Truthfiction or Midrash rendering of the creation week.

Unforgiven Dreams ✔️
[COMPLETED : 5|09|2016 and slowly editing ] He snapped his fingers and a red flame flourished into existence. "How did you-" "I'm a professional." He smirked, clearly enjoying this. If I got a penny for everytime I rolled my eyes at him, I would probably be a billionaire. In a limousine. With a hot wife. And a hotter girl to cheat on her with. And that too I'm straight. He flexed his palms and the flame disappeared. "With practice, even you can control your Blue Matter." I didn't say anything, just nodded. "This Blue Matter is stronger than Red Matter. It can destroy beings. Be careful with it." "Uh, so I am a DreamMaire?"

Tales From Beyond Reality
The universe has existed for billions of years before humanity came to fruition, or that is at least what we know and have speculated. But what about before that? How was the universe created? And are there others like it? Questions which modern day society can only speculate on can be answered by only the highest of beings existing across the spiritual hierarchy. Let us embark on a journey that goes beyond the realm of current knowledge, and let us experience all that existence has to offer.
Reality (Issue 1): In the Beginning
I believe every story starts with a question. The first book of my fantasy series is no exception. My question is this-how was the universe made?
