The Analysts and the Synthesists
L.M. Leteane
L.M. LETEANE was born on March 13, 1964 in Lobatse, Botswana. He was a full-time accountant until 2009 when he took to research and writing after discovering a linguistic key to the long-lost “Babel” language, finding that it can still link up almost every language in the world—especially Akkadian, which he shows to be still little-understood by modern scholarship.
In 2011, as a columnist he tested some of his discoveries in over 200 op-ed articles in Botswana’s leading newspaper group, and these now form the backbone of several books unearthing secrets of our collective past.
This, along with many other original solutions never before seen in print that emphatically resolve perplexing timeline and other historical problems, his time in research has led him to the many far-reaching resolutions he now shares with the world through his books.
L.M. Leteane is married to Lebo with whom he has three children, and they live in Gaborone, Botswana.

Foreword
n the course of world history, millions of books are now published on the subject of “God”. But how many of I them roundly satisfy—put on solid footing—both atheist and the believer in God? Is a “solid footing” even possible?
The aim of this book is to provide real answers to both the atheists and the believer…even drawing them nearer through a new model that raises their level of debate after first dismantling and then rebuilding certain of their tenets.
In a world where most writers merely assert and impose their viewpoint on others, it is not easy to write a book bereft of non-sequiturs when speaking on the subject of “God”.
What tends to happen is that the atheist tries to “blind us with science” while the Deist tends to fire off assertion after assertion, delivered with aplomb but often skirting the rigors of sound logic and facts. Both sides leave many questions unanswered, leading others—knowingly or unknowingly—to sit on the less demanding fence of agnosticism.
Can anyone—and book—satisfactorily answer the slew of yet unanswered questions? Can a topic off-limits to a polite dinner gathering ever turn more palatable, enhanced by good agreement on certain fundamentals? Will the many sticky points still lying in the garbage bin of “private belief”
ever be resolved?
With the elucidations in this book, outlook will now be a simple choice between the “Analyst” or “Synthesist” view of
“God”—now that a solid baseline will have been established far less likely to turn debate nasty or acrimonious.

Truth at its best is not “relative” but is out there for all to see. And at their best, Science and Religion should not be contradiction in terms. One needs only a sound model—a view of “God”—not easy to contradict or dismantle. One with the iron ring of truth.
Are the baseline truths unveiled or articulated in this book robust enough to withstand intense scrutiny? That’s where you come in. There are clear handles for you to firmly grip.
Each chapter levels with you and guides you into responding likewise. Solidity comes with knowing what you are talking about. In your next debate, with the basic expositions in this book, you will be equipped to take a resolute stand not easily shaken by probing or mischievous questions.
Then my work in this book is done.

Author’s note
Due to a plethora of translation errors as noted in many scholarly works and also as per my own work, all biblical quotations in this book are specifically the King James Version (KJV). It is not to say that this version is error–
free when collated with the original Hebrew or Greek, but that certain revealing wording has now obfuscated in the more recent translations.
This book, however, is not a standard Christian work but a vigorous interrogation of the Deist, atheist and agnostic approaches to “God”, while tendering solutions in regard to how “God” may be validly and solidly viewed.
