The God illusion explained. A brain phenomenon that promotes longevity, like a Blue Zone, the reason it endures. As a child, didn't you often wonder where you came from? After we're born and the terrible twos are behind us, our parents are all the world to us. Growing older, we notice the strange world around us. To understand it, as instilled in us by our elders, we develop the idea that a fatherly higher power created the Earth and life and it protects us, thus bolstering our parents' guardianship role. We are urged to live righteously by observing the power's rules, or commandments. In return, a reward awaits us after we transit. The Powers that Be, for instance the God of the Bible, will take us to Paradise to live for eternity. For the disobedient, though, the end will be horrendous, torture in Hell in an everlasting inferno.
Before the end, we ponder on our purpose and the meaning of life. Why did God pick us out of the billions unborn to inhabit the Earth? Does God even exist? Skeptics, such as astrophysicist Steve Weinberg, say that the universe is pointless.
Since the nature of our creator is a mystery, Dr. Henry Kakembo's book, The Face of God: What Enoch saw in Heaven, explores it scientifically. Besides finding that the answer has been staring at us since we came here 200,000 years ago, Dr. Kakembo shines a light on the kingdom of God and the true "Savior," (true since many people worldwide know little to nothing about Jesus Christ, a requisite for salvation for Christians). By studying various evolutionary origins, Dr. Kakembo finds, for example, that the history of many religions was based on symbols embellished with mythology to account for the mysteries in nature. This resulted in the belief that creation and human intelligence were supernatural despite the lack of evidence, called blind faith.
Arguing that things are not what they seem, Dr. Kakembo finds that health benefits faith engenders are behind religion's staying power. So, instead of being a waste of time, religious practices and related rituals, particularly those containing music, promote our chances of survival, increasing longevity. Like Buddha, after you reason out that a belief is true and find that it will do good to one and all, believe it, live up to it and help others do the same. But, as it turns out, since they confer similar benefits, all beliefs might as well be considered true.
