Psychl is David Rippenburn's original hypothesis and is scheduled to be published in paperback from Summer 2007.  Click here to be reminded as soon as it becomes available.  In the meantime you can read selected excerpts wherever you see the open book icon.

On the basis that prejudice is borne out of ignorance the first part contains introductions to the majority of beliefs that existed up to the 21st century. The content is not intended to offend (and may I offer my sincerest apologies to anyone who feels offended) but it is unfortunate that across the spectrum of beliefs there exist those intent on exploiting genuine followers for their own benefit, and it is towards the administration that any cynicism is directed. While I’m at it, “Man” refers to the species, not the gender.

Part two dissects the processes we often take for granted between birth and death including how we perceive reality, our use of language and the ever growing human population from both a scientific and religious viewpoint.

The third part of the book looks at the debate between creationists, who blame God for the state of the world, and evolutionists, who blame the creationists. It concludes with a unique interpretation of the Book of Genesis by way of introduction to the Psychl model.

The final part of the book addresses some of the more popular scientific and religious topics in terms of the Psychl model. Once again I would like to apologize in advance to anyone who feels I've trespassed on hallowed ground.

Throughout the book there are references to dates. Unless otherwise stated all dates pertain to the Christian, or Common Era that was marked by the birth of Jesus Christ. Any date before this period will be suffixed BCE (Before Common Era).
