THERE'S MORE TO THIS BOOK.THAN JUST QUESTIONS ABOUT GOD. The book is about us living today, and how god is being quietly forgotten. It highlights our corrupted financial systems, how for example, our homes are caught up in 'housing markets' where spurious valuations continually push up prices beyond that which our children and ourselves can afford.It talks about philosophy and sociology. It gives us a common sense amongst the nonsense that often surrounds us. This book gives us a clearer picture of the world than we have perhaps seen for a long time.THERE IS AN ALMOST APOLOGETIC HUMANITY THAT COLE CONDUCTS that can be appreciated when one attempts to look back over our shoulder.

The book is perhaps a kinder a more humanitarian read than say, Richard Dawkins who has, in an established scholarly fashion, tackled the subject of god, confirming a delusion seemingly set within the human psyche; and it is a gentler approach than say Christopher Hitchens who used a vast historical point by point logical intellect.THE BOOK PUTS FORWARD MODERN OBSERVATORY VIEWS OF THE WORLD and presents what we are able to see and sense whilst living in the 21st century. Within that observation a god is not seen and so by default it would seem one does not exist. The book proposes that a creator god may well exist but not the sympathetic, caring and local god we would have perhaps hoped for, and as such the biblical creationists may well be right, though not quite in the way they thought. COLE SUGGESTS THAT A SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE FACT STARES US FULL IN THE FACE that negates any such hope for a benevolent and local god; and that is a 'Scale of Dimension' would seem to make impossible sympathetic and personal contact between dimensionally dissimilar life forms (ourselves and God) in the same way we human beings are unable to chat with e.g. microscopic organisms and ask them what sort of day are they having? Cole proposes that what or whoever created the world, and perhaps all that we can see, would surely have had to be of a dimension greater than that created or be in some scale ratio to it, and thus that someone or something would likely be dimensionally huge, whilst in comparison, we and the planetary dust (the stars and planets) within the universe would be microscopically and insignificantly tiny. Speculative science becomes less hypothetical as modern day technological logic and reasoning are applied and stories of the past are filtered and unfolded.

Cole suggests that the often seemingly imaginative and sometimes bizarre stories that our ancient myths portray, could actually be based upon some reality, realities that when we adjust our approach possibly begin to make some sense. Cole hypotheses that human imagination in itself can only be based upon actual environmental reality i.e. that which appears to exist and can be sensed, extended and seen to work, and thus have ties with practical realities. He proposes that imagination is based upon events and knowledge that themselves are contained within environmental reality parameters. He proposes that surely there cannot be a 'practical' imagination without a contemporary reality base to draw from. And, in addition, perhaps imagination is when we take only one or two tiny steps or indeed stumble ahead.If this is so, then the contents of our mythological libraries may well be based upon threads of truth, and that it is therefore often the apparent confused dialogue of that 'written' about events mis-understood, that make them appear vague, bizarre and unbelievable.

WITHIN THE 'ORIGIN AND NATURE OF GOD' COLE INCORPORATES SHORT STORIES THAT REFLECT OUR FRAGILE AND IMPERFECT NATURE, A NATURE THAT WOULD SEEM TO BE A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN OUR ANIMAL AND SOCIAL HUMAN SIDE.
