How and Why God Evolved

This book highlights the link among pagan, polytheistic, and monotheistic beliefs. In human history first there were many gods followed by one God followed by three-in-one God (Trinity). Did you know that humans, not God, came up with the concept of Trinity? With the addition of Trinity, Christianity became something of a strange contraption, sort of like a Rolls Royce with square wheels and no steering wheel. God's character, then, changed according to humanity's changes. This is a strong indicator that humanity helped create God in stages, and designed Him to serve variety of purposes- each group according to their culture norms and sociopolitical agenda. It's as if the writers of Holy books fine-tuned old Egyptians and Greek myths and legends into their own "divine" recipe books; with their own respective spices, they re-seasoned earlier scriptures, and each claimed to have invented a brand-new book, a revolutionary cookbook. Earlier visible stone gods had a tough time answering questions, solving problems and maintaining order in Universe. Creating a new and invisible God was a wise choice on part of Abraham! Moving God to an invisible realm shielded Him from prying hands and eyes and made Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad's life much easier. There are no grounds to prove God wrong, just as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad had no grounds to prove themselves right. Even God's witnesses (Angels) live invisibly in an invisible realm. What good are the invisible witnesses (Angels) for the invisible God ruling from an invisible throne on Seventh Heaven if the jury cannot see or hear them? The whole idea of invisible entities ruins the possibility that God will prove His existence in a way humans can discover. So how do we get to know where God is? It is ironic that all invisible entities are made for the living and visible human beings! This book answers these and many other questions for the curious readers.

Humans often conceive of God as they believe God to be vs. how God actually be (or not be). For these reasons, author urges anyone either currently religious or considering religion to educate themselves about humankind's concept of God and how it changes through time. Gaining new knowledge can sometimes feel uncomfortable; however, suspending one's beliefs in order to learn can lead to important growth. The Holy messengers, Abraham, Moses, and Muhammad serve as prime example of suspending their respective family beliefs; the world might never have known monotheism.
