Books by Steve Bruttig

This book details many facets in the development of man, from humble animal beginnings to the sophisticated, citified man we see today. We explore the evolutionary changes of man in a world of creation. But if we're honest, we recognize man as an unfinished work and currently a "bad actor". So, we explore the "who", "what", "when", "where", "why" and "how" man got this far and what drives his behavior in this complex, complicated, and convoluted world. We'll take advantage of paleontologic and archaeologic evidence, but also explore extraterrestrial hocus pocus. We'll consider the soul as the essence of individual existence and ensoulment as the process of receiving that soul. And we'll look at what man does, might do, or has done (some that he might not be proud of - e.g., conspiracy, rebellion, and revolution) - all in the quest to know man, now and in the future.

Do you know how the world began? How the universe began? How life began? You may think you do, but you don’t know – not really. Some may believe everything was created in some way (actually most people do). Some may believe in a “spontaneous event” like the Big Bang – many people believe that. But the operative word here isbelieve. We use words like know, believe, fact and truth, and we sort of use them interchangeably – but they’re not the same. What about Creation or Evolution? What do you think? What do you believe? What do you know? Well, this book, First and Foremost, explores all of these topics and sets the stage for much more investigation of truth versus belief versus negotiated truth in a series of non-fiction books to follow. So, open your mind, think, and come along for the ride.
