Sitting in Two Boats: A memoir of faith and madness

by Shahid Nawaz

Shahid Nawaz, a theoretical physicist and an atheist, is dreaming of a theory of everything that solves all problems of mankind. He strongly believes that such a theory would only exist if there is no God. In a thought experiment, he demonstrates that there is no way to roll out the existence of God. It shocks him being an atheist. Consequently, he runs into mental health issues and is diagnosed with bipolar disorder I. Sitting in Boat is about Shahid's struggle with his atheism and mental illness.
