The Catastrophic Roots of Religion Revealed.
Who or what were the Gods of ancient mythology, who fought battles in the skies, and came down from heaven to earth? Why did our ancestors believe that mankind was created in the image of these mysterious Gods?
Alan Alford decodes the sacred secrets of the world's oldest civilisations, and reveals that the God of the ancients was imagined to be a planet, which exploded millions of years ago, and seeded the Earth with its meteorites. Alford identifies profound connections between the legends of the Bible and the myths of the ancient world, using his knowledge of the latter to demonstrate that the Bible contains only half-truths. The real secrets, he suggests, were withheld deliberately from the masses.
In his acclaimed and controversial style, built on meticulous research and solid arguments, Alford presents revolutionary answers to the world's most enduring mysteries: the secrets of the Creation, the Flood, and the Exodus. He saves his greatest revelation for last, asking "who was the son of God, if God himself was an exploded planet?"
This is not only a gripping read it is also one of the most serious challenges ever made to established views concerning the origins of modern religious beliefs.
