From an early age, the author has been fascinated by the origins of humanity and the solutions offered by religious beliefs concerning our existence beyond death. Understanding the Bible is critical for Christians, whilst incorporation (as the Old Testament) of the Jewish Torah, the Prophets and the Writings brings a common root with Judaism and also many commonalities with Islam. This book should be fascinating to all ‘Peoples of the Book’, addressing many questions that arise in the minds of readers of the original Jewish holy scrolls.
I have looked at many statements in the Torah and felt puzzled by clear misstatements, and many assertions which cannot be explained – even by invoking miracles. The awesome knowledge we have gained revealing the structure and evolution of the universe proves it was designed by an intelligent entity (aka God). I suggest this knowledge makes it impossible to reconcile the intellect of God as revealed to us, the character of Yahweh as recorded in the Torah and the character of Jesus shown by the Gospels.
The coming decade may answer one of our greatest questions – the multiple missions planned to land on Mars may detect lyfe and critically whether its operating system is DNA or something else.
At a minimum, I hope it provokes deep thought and further study!
