In the God Alternative, Dr. Harris offers reader a critical analysis of the historical concept of a personal anthropomorphic God, and posits what he considers is the strong possibility that another force - a universal intelligence - may be the source of creation of all matter, and indeed life itself.Robert's books are the product of his passion for cosmology, biological anthropology, psychology and history. Having developed a profound belief in the natural order of the universe, he became increasingly interested in why people are drawn to religious faith; the foundation for their chosen faith; and why there exists such disparate divisions in belief among those who proclaim denominational superiority.
