Let there be light

I've just finished what to-date is one of the most influential books of my lifetime; "The God Delusion", by the famous British Biologist Richard Dawkins. (Happens to be 420 pages, by the way).

Reading this book was a joy, partly of discovering I am not alone and not weird. That honesty and intelligence could coexist, with courage and patience. That the silverline of hope for a true understanding of this world is not just alive, but been actively and courageously sought by the great minds with still greater passion.

I must write on the major topics covered in this book in different pieces. But, in one word, what I found in this, is invaluable for the time & money I spent for it. I can not but express my deepest most sincere thanks to the author..

The search has not come to end, perhaps it is still far from even getting close. But, it has just started now, with the freshness and power of a new born. If time does not come to a standstill, our search won't either; this is our time and this time it's us to say, "let there be light".
