No. Naive.


Libraries choose what books are stocked on the shelves. The internet is far more democratic. Once the seed of doubt is planted anyone is free to seek books which will expand the idea.

No really. The internet is general provides very little really deep knowledge. It's more like have a super fantastic encyclopedia, universal news subscription, and the worlds greatest collection of trivia--yes there are exceptions including things like Project Gutenberg. But it isn't a substitute for a good library yet, though it can do many things the library can't.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
