"The real beauty of the book is underlain in the fact that even though the author has argued the existence of God and given his explanations of the various myths he doesn't try to burden the reader with his philosophy."

Review Tour Kickoff and Schedule--> The Evolution of Gods by Ajay Kansal {June 27th-30th}

The Evolution of Gods by Ajay Kansal

Did gods create humanity or did humans create gods?

Did gods create mankind, or did mankind create gods? Why, when and how did mankind begin to worship gods? 
Religious scriptures the world over claim that one or the other god made all plants and animals, but science has not yet identified any supernatural power that created and governed living beings.
Was it man who came up with the idea of gods to help him cope with his own fears? 
Could it be that ancient people attributed natural phenomena-unfathomable and frightening to them-to the working of invisible gods? 
What kind of sufferings or fears made people bow before unseen powers or gods as we call them? When were these gods created? 
Who invented morals and methods of worship? 
Who wrote the ancient scriptures such as the Bible and the Vedas? 
Most crucially, have gods and the scriptures shaped our responses to the world around us? 

The Evolution of Gods seeks to answer these questions, and explains scientifically how, when and why religions and gods came into being. Ajay Kansal marshals anthropological and historical facts about the development of religions in a simple and straight forward manner to assert that it was mankind that created gods, and not the other way around.
