Release: 1995
Genre: Religion
ISBN: 9781568250267

This title offers a critical comparison between scientific facts versus ancient religious teachings, superstition and writings, written at a time when science was practically unknown. It is also based on many years of observing the often devastating results of religious mis-teachings during many years of overseas travel to 50 countries. A strong influence of recent astronomical discoveries also contributed to my acceptance of humanism/atheism and turning away from any religion, including Christianity. A book of particular interest to those readers still "sitting on the fence" between scientific reality and religious fiction.
