The God Alternatives (Religion, Evolution and Man)

If a group of total strangers were asked to describe one person among the group then that description would have to be based on what the eyes can see (the physical). If however that same person's partner or best friend was called in and asked to give a description of the same person then no one will want to hear about what anyone with eyes looking on can see, they  want a description of the inner qualities (the spiritual). A great artist or sculptor can create an image that is better looking than the most perfect physical specimen of man but it is the inner qualities that make one man stand out among men and it is these inner qualities that really count.
This is the opening argument in The God Alternatives (Religion, Evolution and Man) that there are more than one aspect to man because there is the physical aspect which is obvious and everyone with senses can discern and there is the spiritual aspect of man also. The spiritual qualities does not necessarily refer to religion because everyman is subjected to them irrespective of religious beliefs or having no religious beliefs. All men admire honor, courage, bravery, honesty, truthfulness  dependability etc. and see these as the true qualities that makes a man. On the other hand pride, haughtiness, guilt, shame, covetousness, malice, meanness, hate etc. are seen as qualities that do not tend to harmonious living and are frowned on.
It is to the  reality of both physical and spiritual qualities in man that religion and evolution try to give answers.
The God Alternatives (Religion, Evolution and Man) is a layman's look on the subject of religion, evolution and man. Religion and science are sometimes opposite in their teachings and understanding of man and both make their teachings readily available. In this book a layman looks and compares both the teaching of religion and evolution.
NB (Both religion and evolution have their experts that defend their teaching but it is the layperson that they are trying to convince and convert. If only  the experts understand their teachings then they need to pack up what they believe because they are so miniscule because the layperson comprises more than 99% of the audience.
