Although author Jordan B. Peterson argues in favor of the claim for the existence of a deity, he does so void of any mathematical proofs. Instead drawing upon the authority of ancient texts such as the Enuma Elish of Mesopotamian civilization as the earliest known texts. He also states that the motif of the struggle of the deities for primacy is extraordinarily widespread in human tradition. He even pays tribute to more modern cultural myths like The Dark Knight to establish the nature of good and evil, stating the Joker in The Dark Knight - whose perfidy is so deep that he betrays even the ethos of the thief. The book falls short of a logical proof of God, however it establishes the validity of ancient to modern myths from a cultural perspective. I believe it reinforces that which human beings by nature are hardwired to believe - that a deity is the source of all existence. He also states that creation culminates in the making of man and woman. As well, the dual manner of the errors that characterize man and woman. The eternal feminine and masculine. He helps the reader gain an understanding of the darker parts of human nature. And that we as human beings aim upwardly and that this upward aim is embodied by God.
