Welcome to Ed Everest's free ebook
'Thoughts on Life,
Gods
and the Universe.'
Exploring human existence, human origins, life, the self, the universe, chance, gods and nature.Where did we really come from? Is there a god? Did a god make the universe or was the creation a natural event? Can gods influence nature? Challenge your thinking with this sometimes lighthearted sometimes disturbing book that explores the mystery of our existence.
From the book:
Whatever the universe is, whatever the explanations, it has produced the miracle of life, it has given each of us our own existence.By finding the actual answers to our questions we can abandon all the invented answers.
And a god said "Be fruitful and multiply." And we were fruitful and we did multiply, to the tune of about 6 billion at the time of writing. At least we seem to have got that right.
We are each the resident and guardian of our one body.
There's an old Chinese saying, 'Don't judge a day till night falls.' Perhaps we shouldn't judge the universe just yet.
If you've just made glorious love on the warm sand in celebration of this being a universe made by the gods, and you're lying back contemplating the wonder of it all, and idly brushing sand grains from various parts of your anatomy, as like as not an ant will come and sting you on the bum, a reminder that the explanation for this universe might not be quite so straightforward as it seemed just a few minutes ago.
