Review of Cosmic Religion Revisited
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Cosmic Religion Revisited" by Raphael-Seraphim Kutota Basisa.]
Cosmic Religion Revisited is a book written by Raphael-Seraphim Kutota Basisa. In this book, the author explains how the major religions around the world have lied to the population since the dawn of humanity. While explaining an alternative cosmic reality, the author brings historical and scientific theories to support their point.
Cosmic Religion Revisited is an interesting book. This book explores a worldview that differs from social conventions. The discussion, enhanced with references to biology and history, leads to reflection on established norms. Even if cosmology is a concept that one adheres to or not, it is a captivating concept that puts humanity and our place in the universe into perspective.
The author covers many other intriguing topics on history, biology, and culture. I learned a lot about the Sumerian religion, a religion I previously knew little about.
The book offers a different perspective on contemporary religions. We can even say that the book seeks to deconstruct and dissect them.
Although, while speaking of deconstructing them, I still found that some scientific or historical points seemed “easy” or “unfounded.” As if to explain certain insoluble points in our history, aliens were the most relevant answer by default. This undermines the point. I found the repartee too “easy” and therefore harder to believe.
Then, the book is unreadable. Too complicated, with too many words to put you to sleep. The sentences are difficult for beginners to understand. They are very long (over 40 words long sometimes), with intricate subordinate clauses, which make them difficult to read.
I found the point to be going around in circles, and the same arguments were distorted and repeated regularly. Some arguments even go so far as to contradict previous points made.
Overall, I rate this book 3 out of 5 stars. Although the storyline is well-documented and referenced, I found instances where it contradicts itself. The writing is very heavy-handed, not very fluid, and difficult for beginners to read. However, the author offers interesting insights and information that is sometimes little known to the public, particularly in broad fields such as history. I'm not sure who this book was originally intended for, and I therefore recommend it to an audience already interested in the subject, already believers, who want to delve deeper into it.
