Although the book was amazing, a few points should be clarified :
1) The name of the Arabic cult - which is actually not arabic - is Hashashin and not hassassin, (meaning people who do drugs) but it is an innocent mistake. What is more disturbing is the fact that it was PERSIAN and not Arabic. The Hashashins spoke PERSIAN and not Arabic even if the translation of the arabic words in the book was accurate.
The Hashashins group was led by Hassan el Sabbah, in the 11th century (that part was correct in the book), who was an ATHEIST who claimed PROPHECY (So the info in the book was incorrect concerning two points). In the end, Hassan el Sabbah was stopped by another atheist scientist. In fact, Hassan el Sabbah was himself a scientist before claiming prophecy.
It is actually a wonderful story about how he pretended prophecy but I am too lazy to type it down.
2) And this is a personal opinion. The existence of Antimatter cannot prove the existence of God. As a matter of fact it proves his non existence. Matter coming to existence by itself can prove to all religious people that the universe CAN come from nothing. But this is a personal opinion and therefore subjective. Anyone reading this review can disapprove with my opinion, and I wouldn't mind in the very least. In fact, I won't even target them, or argue with them.
