Where Did We Come From? (And Where Are We Going?)

What do you say when your child asks you, “where do we come from?” Most Americans tend to respond with the Biblical story of creation but this is not the case in other countries. Religion is a part of our history and it plays an enormous role in American culture, but truth is important and there is a big difference between belief and knowledge. ‘Truth’ is what this book is all about. Although it touches briefly on speculation about the existence of the soul and how some cultures deal with this issue, the primary intent is to provide facts based upon what we know about our universe rather than what we believe. If you are one who feels comfortable with a discussion about evolution and the big bang that created our universe 14 billion years ago you are likely to embrace the information with relief and wonder why it took so long for someone to address this controversial topic in such a straight-forward manner.
