A Skeptic's Investigation into Jesus

*Life is the accidental product of random events.
*The laws of physics are totally deterministic.
*Science does not accept a connection between physical matter and human consciousness.
*Atheism is a conclusion from evidence while faith is speculation.
*Science and faith are incompatible.
*Suffering contradicts the existence of a loving, omnipotent God.
*Jesus was a compilation of pagan mythologies or a human teacher who was deified.
But do these statements represent eternal truths? Are they logical conclusions based on established facts or merely opinions? What is the evidence?
To investigate these and other questions of existence and faith, a skeptical academic objectively explored relevant aspects of philosophy, mythology, history, archaeology, cosmology, quantum physics, biochemistry, and various faiths that finally led to investigation of the Judeo-Christian Scriptures (including the Dead Sea Scrolls and the gnostic gospels). The findings of this research not only challenge many modern assumptions but also have significant implications for our understanding of reality.
Written with minimum technicality for general readership, this book presents a wide range of interesting and carefully confirmed facts relevant to the above questions. Whether you are an atheist or an agnostic, a Christian, or a follower of another faith, or have simply not been interested, this investigation provides valuable and surprising insights into the nature of the universe and our place in it.
