THE EVOLUTION OF THE GOD ILLUSION is Revealed in New Book
God was a magnificent illusion who evolved in the religious mind. As one may have read in Cicero's The Nature Of The Gods, ancient people were vivid observers of the sky and the celestial bodies because of their livelihood-they were mostly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. God, in Ir. Jim K K Wong's new book, was an illusion born from an astounding celestial phenomena associated with the birth of comet planet Venus. This became the basis of Judeo-Christian lore, spreading and becoming the brilliant gods of many a religious ritual. This was how The Evolution of the God Illusion started, the rational root of Jim Wong's reasons to effect change in the way religion and God are viewed. His work, among writers who write about religion, is the exact opposite of such writers as Karen Armstrong, whose exercise in religious nostalgia and philosophical determinism created the need for a diametrically opposite one which is humanistic and logical.
