书籍简介：

Calculating God is the new near-future SF thriller from the popular and award-winning Robert J. Sawyer. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges, who says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." It seems that Earth, and the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling on the alien mother ship, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at about the same time (one example of these "cataclysmic events" would be 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, and morally and intellectually challenging, SF story that just grows larger and larger in scope. The evidence of God's universal existence is not universally well received on Earth, nor even immediately believed. And it reveals nothing of God's nature. In fact. it poses more questions than it answers.When a supernova explodes out in the galaxy but close enough to wipe out life on all three home-worlds, the big question is, Will God intervene or is this the sixth cataclysm:?Calculating God is SF on the grand scale.

书友短评：

@ 煎挠橙 唉呀。这可是我第一本自己花钱买的“英文原版书”呀。不过字好小，书也小，纸质也不如那些硬皮版的书，比较粗糙，好在方便携带且便宜！里面的生物学和天文学名词让我极其抓狂，所以其实是中英对照的看完的。但是，仍然是一本很感人，很有悬念，也可以算是比较好的解释了地球和生命的存在，书中也很系统的列举了一大堆进化论，生物学及天文学的知识，还是很受教的。也让听着进化论长大的我很是反省了一般。当然最感人的，还是主角的人生故事。 @ Melancholy 震撼！ @ 龟城摧塔客 重读。不知道为什么我印象里这是一部搞笑风格的小说。和大多科幻的无神立场相反，这里真有。基本上是聊出来的故事，缺乏想象力但感情真挚，结尾很无厘头。 @ 周小栗子白白 开头吸引到我了。为啥Hollus和Tom不在一起！！他们太配了！！这就是爱啊！ @ 小波福娃 输给哈利波特，是我的话也挺不平 @ 白狗 神，生命和宇宙 @ 沙拉勺子 结尾差强人意，前面大篇幅的对话还是很好看的。这书有些年数了吧，如果当时就看不知道会不会有开脑洞的感觉。近年科普科幻看得多，就觉得有些中规中矩了。
