God in Two Minutes: A 'Scientific' and Objective Relook at God and Religion

Abstract

God in Two Minutes by Prem Kamble takes a re-look at God and religion as never before. Cutting across religions, it challenges some of our strongest beliefs. When beliefs like the flat-earth theory have been proved wrong, is it possible that some of our deepest faiths today may prove to be myths?

While science has answered several questions about our external physical world, our mental world or the world of our mind and thoughts remains a mystery. The miraculous language of Mathematics gave wings to physical science and explained the laws of the physical world, but failed miserably to describe the mental world. Do we need a new mystery language of ‘Mentomatics’ to explain the laws of our internal world? Will Mentomatics be the language of an all-new Spiritual science? Like physical science demolished our old myths and faiths, will the new spiritual science be the waterloo of our current beliefs and faiths? We know today that people of pre-mathematics era had several myths, are we too living with several myths of the "pre-Mentomatics" age?

After the industrial and information revolution, will Mentomatics usher in the spiritual revolution? Will we, the believers, then look as foolish as those who believed that you could fall off the edge of a flat earth into hell?

God in Two Minutes dwells on several such questions. It looks at the past and possible future of God and Religion as has never been done before.

The book is not anti-religion and acknowledges the wisdom of the ancient spiritual leaders. It is consistent with most religions and spiritual thought. It challenges some of our beliefs and rituals which may have got distorted over time or may have lost relevance.
