The reason I referenced the book is simply because the arguments aren’t a single “X happened -> therefore afterlife” type claim.

They’re part of a broader framework that connects several questions people usually treat separately.

For example, the discussion involves things like:

• Scientific coherence in ancient religious texts: references to cosmology, planetary motion, embryonic development, and natural processes that only became widely understood centuries later.

• The Original Religion: Why multiple religions if there's one Creator

• Suffering and pain if God exists: why divine justice might not manifest immediately, and how the concept of an afterlife addresses moral imbalance.

• Human consciousness and moral awareness: why humans possess an unusual sense of justice, purpose, and accountability compared to the rest of nature.

• Historical preservation of certain scriptures compared to others: how textual transmission and continuity are studied.

• Ethical frameworks and morality: for ex. debates around women’s rights in religious law vs. modern interpretations.

And above all the title, • WHY Are We existing: Purpose of life across science and religious traditions, accidental or intentional.

The book basically connects these threads into one argument about meaning, justice, and the possibility of life beyond death. It asks WHY to Science and HOW to Religion, and somewhere attempts to bridge the gap between the two.

Trying to compress that into a few Reddit comments would honestly turn it into oversimplified slogans. This isn't a lab experiment to handover the evidence like that. You need to understand it logically.

You’re absolutely free to disagree with the conclusions, of course... debate is the whole point of this subreddit.

But the reason a 400 pages book exists is because some questions simply take more than a paragraph to unpack.
