Reviews
"Overall, the discussion is lucid and fair...recommended at least as a supplemental text in courses..."--Amos Yong, Religious Studies Review "Add two doses of Isaac Asimov, and one dose each of Martin Gardner and Carl Sagan, and you get Clifford Pickover, one of the most entertaining and thought provoking writers of our time." -Michael Shermer, author of The Borderlands of Science & Editor-in-Chief of Skeptic Magazine "...the puzzles and vignettes Pickover introduces are entertaining..." -Booklist

Edition Description
Revised edition
Synopsis
In his most ambitious book yet, Clifford Pickover bridges the gulf between logic, spirit, science, and religion. While exploring the concept of omniscience, Pickover explains the kinds of relationships limited beings can have with an all-knowing God. Pickover's thought exercises, controversial experiments, and practical analogies help us transcend our ordinary lives while challenging us to better understand our place in the cosmos and our dreams of a supernatural God. Through an inventive blend of science, history, philosophy, science fiction, and mind-stretching brainteasers, Pickover unfolds the paradoxes of God like no other writer. He provides glimpses into the infinite, allowing us to think big, and to have daring, limitless dreams., Playful and profound, bizarre and brilliant-Pickover blends science fiction with science, religion, and philosophy in a unique and user-friendly manner.
