About the Book

Movement is self-evident, whereas universal stillness is not. Based on the false premise of stillness logical inference was drawn that there was a creator to jumpstart the movement. The jump-starting required a purpose for which it was undertaken, requiring the creator to meddle in the affairs of his creatures, requiring organized religions to assist him in this venture, justifying punishment as a means of changing human nature, creating violent societies, and finally leading to wars. Remedy: get rid of the concept of creator! Creation is a myth since the creator could have no purpose and could have done so in one fell swoop. Evolution is a false inference drawn from the myths of adaptation, camouflage, mimicry, survival of the fittest and inheritance of acquired traits. Arranging fossils in Linnaean fashion according to their similarities only reflects the ingenuity of the classifier, without showing any relevance to the question of the origin of species. Chance happening is a mathematical concept and does not exist in nature. Natural Selection is a creation, but by an absent-minded racist goddess, fortuitously using her judgment when selecting species favored by her. Life is a spontaneous movement, from within, and since everything is in a state of flux, everything is alive. Dead atoms and their particles could not generate life no matter how intricately configured. Book ends by describing joyous living without a creator, based on non-violence, absence of malice retribution and punishment, and non-interference in private lives by man or god.
