ABOUT K.D. KORATSKY AND HIS PROJECT
Raised the son of a Jewish father and Catholic mother—who decided to leave religious influence out of the equation to avoid family conflict—a 9-year-old K.D. Koratsky reached a pivotal point in his life when a Sunday School teacher at a friend’s church advised him to accept truth based on faith in the absence of evidence. This was the moment K.D. realized that religion was not for him, as he was simply not capable of the faith that was required.
Two years later, at age 11, Koratsky developed the core inspiration for this book. Still not being able to accept that faith can lead to truth, and recognizing that faith has produced at least as much war as peace, this 11-year-old declared that someday he would write a book that could describe truth and rules of interaction—based on a standard of evidence alone—that could in turn gain the consensus of and unite the world’s various peoples.
Nineteen years ago, with systems and engineering degree in hand, and career underway, the time had come to begin researching the project. To find direction, the history of religion was chosen as a starting point, as the related institutions tend to claim a monopoly on greater truth and morals. Soon discovered was that the first religions were hunting religions, which then became transformed into agricultural religions, which then became transformed into civilized religions—all while the core principles remained intact throughout. Of all ironies, the history of religion has been an evolutionary progression.
Next question: If evolution theory exists at the heart of the history of religion, what else could it exist at the heart of in explaining world phenomena? Now, with over 30,000 hours over nearly 20 years invested in the project, what else evolution theory rests at the heart of in explaining world phenomena is described in Living With Evolution or Dying Without It.
