Code Name God!?

Just about to finish reading Code Name God, a sort of autobiography by Mani Bhaumik. It is a fascinating story of rags to riches and of great professional success. I obviously don't agree with his views on religions of the world and spirituality. At some point in the book, Mani makes his argument that science has answers to 'what', but does not answer 'why'. In reality, the religions of the world utterly fail to answer 'what' and provide some mythical allegories as answers for 'why'. That's my view of course. Incidentally, Mani Bhaumik is the inventor of technology behind LASIK eye surgery and the book is a very interesting one to read, even to an atheist!
