From the I.E.C. director:
Up until now, The New Age University has been focusing on
the works of Zecharia Sitchin, Neil Freer, Lawrence Gardner,
Drunvalo Melchizedek, Arthur Horn and other authors in the
same intellectual thrust.
But now, we feel that it's time to introduce you to someone
new: Akif Manaf J., Ph.D., author of Comparative
Cosmology.
His 120 page book is truly a gem! His book examines modern
science in light of the Holy Scripture (the Qur'an, Bible, and
Bhagavatam) and surveys scriptural knowledge from the point
of scientific knowledge.
For us, the most interesting part concerns the ideas
presented
by Vedic Cosmology as contained in the Bhagavatam!
After
viewing his 16- page excerpt of Comparative
Cosmology,
edited for web publishing, and with the author's permission,
we've decided to post the excerpt below.

Dedicated

By Akif Manaf J., Ph.D.

Where
did the universe come from,
and where is it going?
Did the universe have a beginning, and if
so,
what happened before then?
How and why did the universe begin?
What is the nature of the universe?
Is the universe unlimited or are there
boundaries?
Are there other dimensions in space?
Will the universe come to an end, and if so,
how?
What really happens during the very
early
or late stages of the universe?
What is our place in the universe and
where
did we come from?
Why should there be a universe?
Why is the universe the way it is?
Why does the universe go to all the trouble of
existing?
Does the universe bring about its own
existence?
Does the universe need a Creator, and, if
so,
does He have any other effect on the universe?
These
and many other fascinating mysteries are explored and explained in a
language everybody can understand. The author plunges into the
exotic realms of space travel, time dilation, the universal globe,
multidimensional planetary levels, black holes and elementary
particles, the big bang and the Bigger God – where the findings
are illuminating, astonishing and unexpected. With such a deep
analysis exciting images of the mysterious universe form in ones
mind. Thus, the author truly brings the reader closer to the
ultimate secrets at the very heart of creation.
