God's Debris

My reasoning and logical self always vexed me with hiding my inquisitive nature behind the shadow of my beliefs. For they are just a shadow, they tend to disappear in the light of knowledge.
I am not sure if these shadows are ever going to disappear but yes they do keep changing the sizes with every ray of the light of knowledge.
First few days on bed after a silly accident I was trying to keep myself busy when I get hold of a book by one of my favorite authors, Adam Scott. The book is freely available on the net here.
A small 132 page book presents the concept of God in a whole new perspective which has a lot of shades of Grey. Adam normally a man of few words represents a perspective of a normal man like me who is torn by limited knowledge and information.
This man believes that science does not have the answer to a lot of questions; but sooner or later they might get answered in future as have happened in the past. He also wants to believe in the omnipresent for reasons unknown (But I do attribute my set of beliefs to my parents). This man is not an extremist.
Adam has tried to give a scientific twist to the concept of God. But science still comes later. First comes is the Belief. For the science to exist, God must exist.
His book describes that we are all some minute parts of God who has destroyed himself and is trying to resurrect. To fulfill his desire we must act in a way which increases the probability of his resurrection which in a way supports the karma theory to an extent. Since the day I have read this book I have been seeing the play of probability all around.
Would recommend this book for those who want to have all perspectives of an argument.
I shall give this book 3.5 out of 5 for it is not a literary Genius but yes, the idea was fresh to me.
