Hi David
What / who is Avalokitesvara? Translation from my vague knowledge of sanskrit would be “The lord of contemplation”.
The other intriguing title here is “Atheism, Theism, and Arguments from Big Bang Cosmology” Is the text available?
BTW, what do you do? Apart from DO
Any resume? I would have asked by email, but could not find it.
Would be nice if each of this title has a link pointing to the associated paper…
Yep, I’d be interested to read some of those. What the hell did you study to write all these papers??
Zanko, Scaine, have a look at http://newgrad.com/author/david/
Many of the papers are published on this blog, but newgrad.com is a paper-hosting site I created after making this list. It is no longer being developed though
