The World Without God

About the Book

Sufficient scientific evidence has emerged for the science-minded people to accept that our universe was created and is run without God. And that life was created and has evolved without external power. The concept of God was man’s creation, and in the dark ages, before science, it was inevitable that man should create God. But those who accept, in the face of the scientific discoveries, that God does not have to exist to explain the existence of universe or life on Earth, are now faced with an important question: Is there a God that plays a role in the personal life of every individual? If we delete God from all other explanations, is it rational to still believe in an entity that micromanages the lives of all individuals on the Earth? Is it possible to visualize how the world and our lives could go on without ‘somebody up there’ who listens to our prayers, intervenes in our lives, and rewards or punishes our deeds? The World without God is a thought-provoking treatise, which describes this universe, and the human life, without depending on concepts like the existence of God, the divine mission, destiny, divine justice, soul with existence independent of the body, and life after death.
