Deceptive Influences - William Forbes - Bog

If one is comfortable with what one has been taught, the author asks, why shouldanything ever be questioned? Are we actually educated, or are we indoctrinated into popularinterpretations? After traveling throughout the world as an applications engineer, far from hissmall-town upbringing, the author began to scrutinize the roots of how he viewed his place in theuniverse. The conclusions he reached altered his life and beliefs, and fundamentally transformedhim as a human being. Big Bang? God created the heavens and the Earth? Where should weplace our faith? These questions are about emotion as much as intellect, and Forbes hasperformed extensive research and drawn cogent and convincing-indeed, inarguable-conclusions. Deceptive Influences: Life''s Emotional Opinion of God and Evolution assesses themotivations and theories of evolution from the cellular to the cosmic, and makes eminentlylogical and all-but-unanswerable demands of its very foundations.
