 Lauren Smith: Why did you write this book? 

Image
The Numious Legacy
Adair Butchins: I consider that this book is important for the general reader because, although refuting religious fundamentalism, it does not refute religious belief as such. Although there seems to be a general impression that science has totally demolished religion, this book shows that there are still perfectly valid arguments for, as well as against, the existence of a Creator. It also shows that there are aspects of the universe that still defy scientific explanation and that the correspondence between mysticism and modern physics also has a resonance with cosmology.

 

Lauren Smith: What beliefs do you feel this book dispels?

 

Adair Butchins: It describes how the effect of the Copernican Revolution in the seventeenth century has steadily undermined the basic structure of the three great monotheistic religions of our day, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, especially with respect to their eschatological concepts. The Eastern religions, being less anthropomorphic, are less affected.
