De universi, hominis, et Dei
This book seeks to get closer to the truth through science, religion, and spirituality. It peels back the layers of myth and mystery perpetuated and accumulated over millenia. It looks behind the facade of constructed worldviews. It seeks truth through reason and revelation without the blemish of bias and preconceived beliefs. It journeys through space and time, across billions of years to the beginnings of life and plumbs the depths of consciousness to fundamental reality.
The author employs a novel "knowledgebase" to gather knowledge statements as they are developed in the book. These statements are analyzed and then synthesized to arrive at likely truth statements.
From the
"Reason may not get you to God, but it will get you closer to the truth."
"Facts should (must) inform faith."
"If reason will not get you to God, must one resort to unreason?"
"Confirmation bias is a barrier to the truth."
"Many answers are possible, but only a few are probable."
Could humans be biological machines; biobots?
"Prayer can be beneficial to your health and extend your life."
"Fundamental substance, ground of being, universal consciousness, and the substrate of reality have been experienced by a few human beings."
"Language filters reality."
"Instead of using words to describe beauty and joy, just directly experience them without language."
"Why must we color within the lines to go to Heaven?"
"The excitement of life is turning potentiality into actuality."
"Cherry-picking the Bible (or any Holy Book) produces a year-round harvest of confirmation bias."
"We need a new Theory of God."
"It is past time for a Second Enlightenment."

There are comprehensive works and then there are COMPREHENSIVE works! George Grubbs went to High School with my wife's cousin Betty. Her husband, Howard, introduced me to this wonderful book. Now Howard and I are best buddies. He is a reformed rabbi and I am a dedicated truth seeker. This book covers evolution, the big bang, the multiverse, philosophy, religion, timelines, and much, much more. In the end, the author, Howard and I arrive at a set of likely truths regarding origins and the meaning of life. See if you are on the same page with us. If not, that's OK too. Hopefully, we can agree to celebrate life through civility, compassion, kindness, and forgiveness on our journey through as humans in this universe.
