We study in these pages this book from a critical analysis perspective to highlight the creative halts at one hand, and its criticism on the other hand, showing that they are not the core and main issues of the book, but the errors and flaws occurred by the writer, while explaining or refuting. This is due mostly to the writer being affected by some scientific and social theories, such as the writer’s opinion about conflict, the origin of religion and his vision of Adam (peace be upon him).
