Who are we?, where do we come from ?, where are we going?.
Science may one day be able to shed light on these issues and reveal the existential anguish that underlies its responses. Meanwhile, the only tool capable of answering such huge questions is imagination. Thanks to the imagination man has written beautiful books, painted exquisite canvases, built majestic palaces and even built wonderful spaceships.
Can any other intelligent being inside and outside the earth create something like this? Could this intrinsic ability to create, only attributed to one God, be transferred to man? ?Is man also a divine being capable of creating?
Recebel, the last woman alive on earth and protagonist of our history, answers all these questions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]
