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.
