Book Cover & Preview Text
“Religion is heavy burden you carry to your great detriment. Disguised in a cloak of benevolence, it harbors fertile seeds of your destruction. Religion is a misguided human failing that has colored your history with a sad patina of strife. It has spawned a host of examples of violent persecution, unspeakable cruelty, and bloody wars, all based on elaborate beliefs systems devoid of factual foundation. Religions were all created by people, most of who claimed some sort of communication with one of many forms attributed to me over the ages; all are badly flawed.” – God “The forces against you are formidable, but by far the greatest are the adverse consequences of your own Human Nature. Your competitiveness and powerful tendency to act in your own personal self-interest are your evolutionary heritage, and have driven you to the top of the food chain in your animal kingdom. Now that you are there, these traits can also become the cause of your undoing; they constitute the monster to be overcome on the journey into the future. Aside from the truly debilitating influence of Religion, which promotes intellectual blindness and destructive prejudices, greed and hedonism are also characteristics with the most adverse potential.” – God “Life does not end with the death of a physical body existing in three dimensions. Life, which is a highly complex result of the working of evolution in all of the dimensions of the universe, can continue to exist in the remaining dimensions after loss of its three-dimensional component. You have experienced and recognized some evidence of this and the implications will give scientists in your future a fertile field of study in your quest for better knowledge of your universe.” – God The old saw says that the Stone Age did not end because of a lack of stone. Far in the future it will be acknowledged that the Earth did not run out of oil. Over the short term, the economic law of supply and demand will limit consumption by making petroleum products less affordable as natural sources dwindle. Without question, this will be accompanied by severe disruptions in standards of living, particularly among the highest users of energy. The good news is, that this is a problem that may be solved.

About the Book
The Earth’s population has reached over seven billion. Even as war, terror, and environmental catastrophes dominate the headlines, medical science and technology continue to improve our lives. Can we reconcile the two, or is our planet irretrievably lost? Drawing on religious, scientific, and philosophical insights, physicist Michael A. Reimann combines theological and metaphysical views to show mankind’s future in A Letter from God. In an easy-to-read style, Reimann transcribes God’s message to humanity and argues that we are at a turning point in our brief but spectacular history on planet Earth. Reimann explores some of the doubts and perplexities humans have experienced throughout history and discusses how scientific discoveries continue to shape human evolution. But at the heart of this discourse is an urgent wake-up call. Overpopulation, pollution, disease, and dependency on fossil fuels continue to send us hurtling toward a crucial breaking point. If we choose to harness the power of technology, abandon organized religion, and practice environmentalism, however, we may yet survive. A Letter from God offers an eye-opening, prescient window into humankind’s potential destruction—or potential salvation.
