Religious scriptures the world over claim that oneor the other god made man, but science has not yet identified any supernaturalpower that created and governed human beings. Was it man who came up with theidea of gods to help him cope with his own fears? Could it be that ancientpeople attributed natural phenomena-unfathomable and frightening to them-to theworking of invisible gods? What kind ofsuffering or bewilderment made people bow before unseen powers or gods as wecall them? When were these gods created? Who invented morals and methods ofworship? Who wrote the ancient scriptures such as the Bible and the Vedas? Mostcrucially, have gods and the scriptures shaped our responses to the worldaround us? The Evolution of Gods seeks to answer these questions,and explains scientifically how, when and why religions and gods came intobeing. Ajay Kansal marshals anthropological andhistorical facts about the development of religions in a simple andstraightforward manner to assert that it was mankind that created gods, and notthe other way around. About the Author Dr Ajay Kansal is a professor and consultant pathologist.
