![]() ![]() ![]() The God versus evolution dialogues made both sides look ridiculous. At one point the exchange between father and son brought a tear to my eye.īut then, the rest of the book just grated on me. The interactions amongst the three of them were sweet and touching. ![]() Dr Jericho, although in his fifties, had an adopted son who was only 5 years old, and a wife of ten years. One of those aliens spends most of their time with Tom doing research on the history of earth’s species.The central conflict of the story consists of Tom and the alien, Hollis’, constant debates about the existence of a creator two extremely misguided bible thumping rednecks who are angry about abortion, evolution, and 70 million year old fossil preservation and Tom attempting to reconcile his family to his terminal lung cancer diagnosis.įor me, the only truly engaging part of the book was this last part. An alien ship has come to earth with several members of two different life forms that have already found one another. The story is told from the perspective of Dr Tom Jericho, a palaeontologist at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum. I thought the book might offer me some interesting insights on one side of the debate or the other. I decided to have a go with Calculating God by Robert J Sawyer because the notion of an outsider coming into our society and attempting to prove God’s presence was intriguing to me. ![]()
