An Agnostic's Brief Guide to the Universe
 

Did we get here by accident or by design? Atheists, sometimes unwittingly, place
their faith in the ability of chance to generate a mechanism that we can still
scarcely comprehend. Theologians struggle to explain why an all-good,
all-powerful, all-knowing designer is not to blame for the existence of evil.
Most religions present us with an array of characters and stories that seem to
belong more to the world of the fairytale than to that of cosmic history. But
somewhere within this tangle of explanations lies the truth. The first step
towards enlightenment is the admission of ignorance, and the agnostic – provided
he or she still cares – is more open than most to other people’s ideas.  

The purpose of this website is to provide a forum for discussion. To set the
ball rolling, we invite you to read D.H. Wilson’s An Agnostic’s Brief Guide to
the Universe, which can be downloaded or printed by clicking on the appropriate
icon. The guide begins with a critique of Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion, and
then goes on to examine among other things the implications of evolution, the
nature of a designer (if such a being exists or existed), human society,
religion, and possible futures which range from perfect peace to exciting new
worlds in different dimensions.

The guide is to be regarded only as a starting-point and not a conclusion. If
you have comments, criticisms, ideas or experiences of your own that may move us
closer to an understanding of our universe, then please share them with us via
the comment button at the end of each section. There is no charge for
downloading, no membership fee, no registration, no catch. The only condition is
that you automatically give us permission to quote you (with accreditation) if
the guide should eventually be published in book form. Meanwhile, the text will
be periodically revised to incorporate corrections and improvements, just as
most books undergo many changes before reaching their final form. The difference
here is that the process will be carried out in public, and will rely on
feedback from readers.

The truth is out there somewhere, and by combining our discoveries, we may help
one another to gain new insights. Will enlightenment emerge from the
AgnosticWeb? Watch this space. Better still, fill it.
