ikahime 's review for:
The Evolution of God
by Robert Wright
The research aspect of this book was riveting and convincing. Totally plausible theory backed up with citations and game-theory. It's when he starts extrapolating these theories into the existence of God that he started to lose me. Wright's main point - that the moral evolution of the idea of god indicates his existence - seemed a struggle to follow. More realistically, it seems that wrath and brimstone concepts follow a political structure that is powerful and not easily intimidated, whereas inclusive, humanistic concepts are prone to development in cultures that have more to gain from forming political alliances.
