Preface

 This book is not an attempt to discredit the established thinking, nor the world religions that have been in place for many thousands of years. Nor is it an attempt to persuade the reader to change their way of thinking, their lifestyles, or their present religious beliefs. It is not even a basis or the creation of a new type of worship. What the author intends to portray is his own personal view, a view that has been formulated over many years of reading, listening and evaluating all of the various information he has come into contact with, information that has allowed him to formulate his own opinions.

 As a child I had the opportunity to spend an inordinate amount of time with my grandmother, she was what could be called a god-fearing woman, she would quote the bible to me on many occasions, and it must be said that I did become quite familiar with the stories. As I grew older and became more able to formulate my own interpretations to the stories, my perception of the past, and of evolution began to mould itself into the way in which I presently see things. A great influence on my thinking came from watching and developing a great interest in science fiction, from the appalling ‘Plan 9 from outer space’ to the highly technical productions of ‘Star trek’. All of them held a fascination for me.

 

A vivid imagination is the building block for all good stories, but this book attempts to go beyond mere fiction. It aims to explore my own theories into evolution, religion, the past and the future. It is a possible account that may, or may not offer some answers to those people who feel, as do I, that the way in which we have been taught is not the only possible explanation.
