A Chain of New Discoveries has Revealed Unparalleled Clarity on God's Potential Existence / Inexistence
Albert Einstein quipped that searching for the truth invariably involves taking small, uncertain, painful steps in blind alleyways. He marveled at the structure of reality, a curiosity that led to his discovery of the intrinsic relationship between space and time. When it came to God, his humility favored the notion that God created the space-time continuum, but opined that he was not active inside the universe. Einstein's intuition signals that a single, splashy discovery to reveal God's existence is a fool's folly and insights into whether God is real will only be liberated when the imposed levy of many penetrating discoveries is collected . . . This toll has now been paid The Naked Truth about God pioneers the next advent of mankind's understanding of the prospective existence (or inexistence) of an otherworldly entity. A string of discoveries from far flung domains ratchet a tight perimeter on God's ontology (i.e., nature of existence). The audacity of such a claim demands equally audacious evidence. The Naked Truth about God tracks a spectrum of discoveries in astronomy, cosmological physics, human cognition and consciousness, origins-of-life research, scriptural interpretation, archaeological artifacts, and the philosophies of mind, religion, and science.
In the past, the market of world religions and spiritualists pointed flashlights in many directions leaving us at an intersection where believers and skeptics tell each other that they are on the wrong side of the road. We are now equipped with a more focused beam to better define the existence-or inexistence-of God. And this new lighted pathway yields amazing clarity in a very unexpected way.
There is a difference between Faith and Seeking. Faith admits inherent uncertainty. God is so inexplicable that the individual passively accepts that he is shaping the universe to his own ends and it is hoped that humanity and the afterlife is a part of his plan. Such a belief makes God susceptible to become "The God of the Gaps." That is, whenever we can't explain a given phenomenon, believers simply invoke an all-powerful God to fill the gap in understanding. However, as we discover new aspects of past or present reality that were once attributed to divine action but are now determined to be otherwise, our concept of God is forced to change.
The Seeker is more deliberate in assigning causation. A Seeker acknowledges uncertainty but instead of immediately claiming divine providence, the individual probes our ever-growing database of discoveries that continually reveal deeper insights into ultimate reality. The Seeker is keenly aware of the limitations of our perceptive abilities and that our individual mind-brain's are programmed with dozens of biases that collectively work to obscure true reality. Seekers are open-minded and are amenable to changing personal beliefs based on well-qualified evidence.
The Naked Truth about God is the authoritative knowledge Seeker's Bible for anyone who is malnourished from feckless platitudes and wispy hyperbole about God. This is a no-holds barred, intrepid adventure to ascertain the limits and possibilities of God, time, reality, humanity, and the universe. The conclusion is epic, sublime, and desperately needed to overcome the challenges of our time.
