One Liners

About the Book

We all have those moments of introspection. Maybe it is when we are waiting in line at the supermarket, or while driving our cars, all the while being attentive to our inner thinking. We get those sudden epiphanies of understanding. For the vast majority of us most of these truths do not make their way into our long-term memory. For others a handheld micro-tape recorder substitutes for our memory deficiencies. Such is the case with me.

Then there are those clever facts we get from our various sources of information: newspapers, television, the Internet and perhaps even from books for the few of us who still read them. Left to our memories these too prove to be ephemeral. Once again the micro-tape recorder saves the day.

Transcribe all those disjointed thoughts, arrange them into a set of reasonable categories, print them and you have this book.

About the Author

Robin Oxman is a retired physician, having spent thirty-eight years as a specialist in Internal Medicine. Trained in the life sciences, it was not long before his interest in them expanded into physics, evolutionary biology and history, as he became aware of the interconnections between these disciplines and his lifelong study of the healing arts. As religion is a criterion that separates the human species from those of the other mammals, it soon captured the focus of his attention. Over two years of studying this phenomenon in the light of the physical and life sciences inevitably lead to his recognition that the basic premises of religion are false. That recognition birthed this book.
