RE: The Story in the Skies

I wrote "The Story in the Skies' reflecting on the time in which we are living. Just writing it was an experience.

Burgeoning scientific knowledge and theory seems to be signalling more than ever that it is time to pause and consider what is happening. It is likely that anyone reading this blog realizes that mankind will never discover everything that is out there let alone be content with the next "huge discovery or theory" that only begets the pursuit of the next huge discovery or theory. Perhaps the most important question is not 'what' but 'why'. Why are we driven to keep searching? How much do we need to know? What is in the constitution of man that compels him to keep searching and what can be made of this? As the question of 'what' becomes more complicated, inner peace will only come when the answer to 'why' is resolved within the individual.

An overwhelming, rapid advance of scientific knowledge and subsequent reasoning may cause many to believe that we human beings are very insignificant in relation to the universe; and the  inclination would then be to question even the very purpose of one's existence. But we tend to overlook-- from a perspective of current scientific data and theory-- how it all fits together.

And so, "The Story in the Skies" came about. This book--although fiction--was written for that person who may be searching for answers or who is just plain curious.             Jim
