Views: 812 | Enquiries: 1Burt Flannery is the author of a book entitled, "What's God Got To Do With It?" and a former mathematician and management consultant. When he retired, he intended to spend three days a week playing tennis but a knee injury scuppered his plans and left him with some spare time to fill. He had for many years been troubled by the big questions embraced by the history and psychology of religion, theology, philosophy and ethics so decided to capture his thoughts in prose. Why are we here? How did we get here and where are we headed? Why, after tens of thousands of years of human existence is the world so frequently characterised by man's inhumanity leaving peaceful coexistence illusory?
His talks debate these issues and reach several illuminating conclusions.
