Produktbeschreibung

"Finding Truth in Life and Love: One Man's Journey." Wow, what a title, but I hear you say the great thinkers of our time can explain Love, Life and the Universe, so why have you bothered writing a book?

Stephen Hawking says, "the universe can and will create itself from nothing". Richard Dawkins explanation of life is, "We are survival machines, robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes". And as for love, science has proven that love is just a bunch of chemical reactions. So, what can I offer on the subject at hand?

All these intelligent people indeed have more to say on the subject with all their knowledge gained through degrees and doctorates. What can I add to the subject with my most prised qualification being my 100-yards swimming certificate from primary school? Well, indeed, I do not have a lot of knowledge, but I do consider that life has taught me to be wise. You may ask what the difference is between knowledge and wisdom. Well, knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting tomatoes in your fruit salad. Reading some of the explanations by the world's greatest minds, like Stephen Hawking, when he says the universe will create itself from "nothing", I get the uneasy feeling that someone is messing with the fruit salad.

This uneasiness and my stubborn, enquiring nature have set me on a half century discovery for truth. The earth is travelling at 67,000 miles per hour through space. Is someone driving? What about all the religions of the world? Are some or all of them true? What is the truth in any case? Does the truth matter? Why don't we abandon the truth, and all invent our reality to suit our lives?

Autorenporträt

The author has been an engineer for most of his working life. As an engineer, logic has been the bedrock of his career which has helped him build and maintain all kinds of broadcast systems. This logical approach to engineering has gained him a well-respected reputation within his field. When the author applies the same analytical approach to life, it has led him on an epic journey of discovery. He has been fascinated with history and origins from a young age, always prepared to challenge what others have said if it does not seem to cohere with logic and common sense. As a nominal Christian from birth, he often wondered why he was a "Christian". If he was born into a Muslim family, would he be a Muslim? The religion a person is born into seems to be a poor reason to follow any belief system. The only qualification any faith system would need to make it worth following is if that system is true. The author embarked on a lifelong journey for truth. He has noticed the lack of logic applied to everyday life. The world has become increasingly confusing where the truth has been the casualty of political correctness. The author has written his first book, "Finding Truth in Life and Love: One Man's Journey", to help explain his view of life from what seems to be the most logical view of the world and how to live life. That is the view from a Christian world perspective.
