Reflections on Phantoms in the Brain

Let us live out the script, but realise that the script is authored by nature in evolution in a local language which is not binary and machine-friendly. We feel so sure little realising that our certainty is superficial. We are enabled to sense information, analyse, store and use. In desire for conformity and certainty, we shut the channel esp. to unsettling information; that stymies our personality and growth and breeds bigotry. We can do no more than observe and reflect, forming a series of images, speculate and pass on. Spirituality is a creation of human mind for enjoying existence in its universality.The highest religious feeling is joy in understanding its variation across cultures. Claim of superiority is from a shut mind.

Reading the book, you appear to get close to what God could be, but it is a book on science, not God. In what appears pedestrian. God seems to be just at a point where human comprehension ends, only the boundary seems to have been moved. But it cannot be a pointer to God's existence, nor is such a claim made in the book.
