Synopsis

A highly concealed god poses two intriguing questions? Does god truly exist? If so, is the concept of god logical and in agreement with the knowledge of the world that science has provided to date? The god presented by most religions doesn't make sense in today's world; we have little room for miracles. Furthermore, there are irreconcilable aspects in the world's religions. Must we abandon our faith or belief in god? Perhaps not, says popular Swedish thinker Stefan Einhorn. We can behave as scientists do when they run experiments only to obtain contradictory results. They ask themselves whether there might not be a logical conclusion that binds all the results together and leads to the most probable explanation. Einhorn hypothesises that if god truly exists, then many different religions would have discovered this. He finds a common denominator in the concept of a hidden god in seven major religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. But even with this shared belief, can we know if god exists? Did humankind create the idea of god to answer the unexplainable?
