That is actually the author's true idea behind this book, to prove the presence of the God. He doesn't say that that is the Christian God since he is trying to attract everyone towards his idea. So he says that there is a supreme being and it can be even proved scientificallyreadsbyarun wrote: ↑09 Dec 2020, 15:11 I understood the book was trying to convey some inner meanings. It is totally about there is a supreme power on top of all living race and that needs to be acknowledged by every living being in the world.
What is the author's true intention behind writing this book? Is it to prove that the God is true?

I don't think he has created his own god, but rather made his own interpretation of God, just like everyone else. For example, someone might believe that God hates that gays and loves the straights, but that's their own interpretation of God. An all loving and perfect god is just the author's own interpretation. It's not a different god, per se, but rather a different view of the one God. Everyone's beliefs are taken from things others believe to be true. Someone may take the 1948 mistranslation of the Bible because they want it to be true that it is wrong to be gay, but that was mistranslated on purpose to fit someone else's own beliefs. It is completely normal and healthy to change your opinions as you grow up (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone), and this is what the author has done. He has moved away from the indoctrination of the Church and interpreted the Bible to what fits his own values, rather than the Church's values.Eareeves99 wrote: ↑03 Dec 2020, 11:28 Dr. Hunt is a medical doctor who seems to have been hurt by overzealous practitioners of religion and has since, in his cynicism, developed his own ideas and opinions about who God is. I think he does believe in a god but he has taken his beliefs from fragments of things that others believe to be true and what he wants to be true; he has created his own god.

Exactly. The book encourages the reader to question what he already believe and try to see the reality. Yet the author is already having his own opinions and that attempt is seemingly biasedCazrichmond wrote: ↑11 Dec 2020, 09:14 I think the author believes there is a supreme being but is still open to scientific theories alongside her religious beliefs. I think the book is trying to move away from stereotypical religious conformity and suggesting it’s ok to have different ideas and beliefs than those that are preached to you in a traditional religious institution.

Many religions teach about a God. The author also has been taught that in his religion. But seemingly he has questioned that teachings and has tried to see the truth. But ultimately he has come to where he begun and now he tries to prove that the God is trueFozia RYK wrote: ↑12 Dec 2020, 00:42 Author attempts to show as indicated by quantum physics which is a material science and theory that there is a some kind of predominant being, (God) which is tended to from numerous points of view in different religions. Each religion believes in the existence of God just the way of expression is different.

Agreed. The author has found some scientific explanations for his religious beliefs and he has convinced himself of the presence of a God. By writing this book, he has attempted to attract an audience for his thoughts, and this audience contains educated and thinking people who look at something scientifically

Seemingly the book is innocent and it carries only the facts that the author found in is studies. Yet, he has done his studies to prove something that he believed. So ultimately what he has done is believing the presence of God, finding scientific facts to prove his point, and stating them in this booknanglada wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 11:10 I believe, as many of you said before me, that the author is just stating her thoughts. After looking for answers, she comes to tell us the facts and opinions she found. However, it is also true that she does give a somewhat biased narrative, due to her own personal beliefs.

Religion for some can be stifling and tend to put one in a box, removing the ability to question or seek answers. After all, we should walk by faith and not by sight.
The author by writing this book is trying to overcome that by opening the metaphorical box and throwing everything in it up for questioning and scrutiny.

Ofcourse. The author opens the reader's mind and cause him/her to think over the facts that the book contains, unless the reader is too adamant for new opinions regarding his/her own beliefs. But as I see, by stirring the reader's thoughts, the author ultimately tries to simply insert his opinions regarding a supreme being into reader's mindPeterRabitt20 wrote: ↑13 Dec 2020, 20:17 I can't really speak for the author's intentions. I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt. However, I felt that no matter whether I disagreed, the author clearly got me thinking hard on the subject. I appreciate other views that oppose my own.

The author had his own questions regarding the religious teachings. So he went to find answers for them. And he came back with scientific evidence to prove some of the teachings and to disprove some. Here he has stated his questions and the facts that he found regarding them and has stirred up the reader's mind, making the reader question his/her long held beliefsFola_M wrote: ↑14 Dec 2020, 11:20 I think the author is just trying to approach the existence of God from a scientific level and then leave it up to the readers to make up their minds.

He also pointed out the 'limitations' of religion in considering God, and how man has, over the years, used religion to protect his personal, social, and cultural interest.
