Had de crisis niet duidelijk gemaakt dat er tegen limieten gebotst werd? De deur bleef echter gesloten. Tot wat het gebrek aan openheid in het debat geleid heeft, kunt u lezen in het boek dat u nu in handen heeft.

These clues shake the foundations of conventional science, history and religion. Adam Decoded invites the listener to participate in solving the age-long question of man's origin. Who are we?

A biography of sorts about life. Calling this a "mere book" is too puny for what it surveys. This an assessment of life as a collection of words. Although it has to be called "book" to validate comprehension, if placed in front of a mirror, it would vicariously show a reflection of life's journey. To listen to this "life biography" is like listening to one's own diary. Though it will be perceived by some as my opinion, it's actually life's opinion...A real life formula. And like all formulas, none exist without proper dosage.

One of the reasons is because we have some things we would like to accomplish or create in this life. Even though every one of us has a reason, conscious or subconscious, we wouldn't consider killing ourselves.
