Arsenio Meneses is a Telecommunications Engineer who graduated from PUC Rio de Janeiro in 1970. He furthered his education with a Bachelor's in Economic Sciences from FINES in 1980 and completed a master’s program in Project Administration at Fundação Getúlio Vargas in 1981.

As a dedicated Physics educator, Meneses has participated in various training programs all across Europe, the United States, and Canada. Notably, in July 2012, he underwent intensive training at CERN, in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland, which coincided with the confirmation of the Higgs Boson, colloquially known as the "God Particle" on July 4.
He also actively participated in training programs at IQC (Institute for Quantum Computing) in Canada, focused on Quantum Computing. Over four consecutive summers, he attended Modeling Physics programs organized by Florida International University.
Over the past five years, Arsenio Meneses has delved into the studies of Anthropology, Cosmology, Theology, and Evolutionism as proposed by Charles Darwin. He has voraciously consumed literature penned by prominent figures such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Michael Shermer, Dan Dennett, Lawrence Krauss, Michio Kaku, Dan Barker, Cleofas Uchoa, Jamie Metzel, Jennifer Doudna, Eugene C. Scott, Yuval Noah Harari, and Darwin himself. These readings covered a breadth of topics, some of which are encapsulated in his authored books, such as:
“DESPROTEGIDOS”, which Editora Vermelho-Marinho published in Rio de Janeiro, BR, in 2021,
“GOD Has Been Demoted - SCIENCE Takes Control”,
“THE SECOND COMING – Dissonance”,
“BEYOND The Cosmic Questions”,
“GODSPEED – Charting Our Earthbound Destiny”,
“DUAL-Ethos – Bridging Divinity and Secularity in the Pursuit Of Good”,

“BRIGHTER HORIZONS - 101 Facts That Crafted Modern Society”,
“RELIGION EVOLUTION and Impact in Humanity”,
all also as self-published in 2022,2023 and 2024.
Meneses also drew inspiration from the sources listed in this book's bibliography for his writing.
