Blurb:
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.

About the
Author:
Ajay Kansal is a professor and consultant
pathologist. It was during his medical practice that he encountered human
suffering in a big way that made him question the concept of Gods and drove him
to write this book.
The
Evolution of Gods is his first book and the only book written
by an Indian author on the concept of the existence of God which talks of all
religions and is not based on any one particular form of it. His next work is a
romance which is currently in progress.
