Explaining the Unexplainable: : How One Anti-theist Looks at Mysteries

By J.M. Ladd

There are indeed things that go bump in the night...and it is usually me stubbing my toe on the door frame as I go to the bathroom at 3:00 A.M. The world on which we live, and ultimately the universe, is full of natural wonders and mysteries, and most of them make little or no sense when you look at them with a little bit of critical and rational thinking. Through the ages, we have assigned supernatural qualities to so many aspects of our world that too many people cannot tell fact from fiction. When you look at mysteries and phenomena from an anti-theistic standpoint, a whole new way at looking at them arises, or is that old superstitions and senseless stories seem to melt away leaving nothing behind because they had no true substance in the first place? This is not a book about religion, rather how religion has shaped our views on what we deem to be the supernatural, and what happens to those views when religion is subtracted from the equation. Ghosts, gods, alien visitations, vampires, werewolves, powers of the mind, magic, and strange creatures are just some of the topics covered in this short, to-the-point book dealing with what we humans deem "mysteries". Meant to be a quick, fun, and thought-provoking read, Explaining the Unexplainable may or may not change your mind, but it will make you think.
