God's Debris
February 4, 2010 at 2:28 am
Well, the book was not preticularly athiestic, but it confirmed no god alignment either. Most notably it makes you think. As is the reason im posting this would be undoubtedly plural of you have read it and know what I am talking about, it is very interesting. As is suggested within its disclaimer, discuddion improves the book. The sequel was better than the first though, as it was a story and not just a collection of the interestingly fascinating thoughts.
Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Neato mind twisting stuffs. Prelog challenges you to find the logical flaw in the old mans contentions.
I didn't find it. I believe there is one there, I just don't spot it.

Thats what I did, I sat down to read for a few minutes and the next thing I knew it was 2 in the morning and there were no more pages left, but yeah, sae, this has to go to the top of your bookpile. I can post both "Gods Debris" and "The Religion War" for PDF here if anyone wants.
As for the flaws, there were several factual flaws I found, but the underlying logic flaw illudes me, other than that I consider its wisdom in the individual chuncks it comes in as it is not compatable into one underlying "moral of the story".

Got to pg 132 before shift was over, maybe if I didn't have to do real work I could have finished... great so far I love mental calisthenics. edit: nope I finished it. Great read, I've downloaded and recommended it already.
