Overview

"PREFACEOF TIME AND SPACE, OF GOD AND MANAt the age of 94, so close to the time of the Grim Reaper, when I shall finally meet my Maker, I choose to embark on a Search for Truth, relying on what I learned as a Catholic (which I still am) at the feet of my Jesuit teachers; on the 25,500 books I read (a book a day from the age of 10 to 70); on two books by Yuval Noah Harari, called to my attention by a fervent Christian Fundamentalist who regards them as bovine ordure; and a book by Steven Pinker from the father of my Swiss daughter-in-law. This journey brought me through unexpected byways from the Big Bang, Time and Timeless Space, the inspiring concept of God and the entire evolution and progress of the Human Race, to the Final Destiny of Man.
