216 65b2c9ca-68c8-4705-87ad-592a7500cb03 Calculating God Robert J. Sawyer calibre (0.8.17) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2000-01-01T08:00:00+00:00 <p class="description">An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges and says, in perfect English, “Take me to a paleontologist.” In the distant past, Earth, the alien’s home planet, and the home planet of another alien species, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at the same time (one example: the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e., he’s obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets. From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, morally and intellectually challenging story of ambitious scope and touching humanity. Calculating God is SF on a grand scale.</p> Macmillan TmPTHZY7Ma4C 9780765322890 eng General Fiction Science Fiction Space Opera Adventure Life on Other Planets Toronto (Ont.)
