The Gods' debris - Some insights .

I read this book y'day nite, written by scott adams . For the uninitiated, scott adams is the author of the popular Dilbert series.

Now for ppl who know abt dilbert, plz dont start thinking this is another comic series about an office worker's struggles in the corporate world.

This one is totally diametric. Yes, it deals with the most complicated literary genre - Philosophy.

Now thats surprising.. i can hear u ppl question, how come a person who writes comic strips with no imposing subject matter, all of a sudden write a book which is full of cognitive contents. Well, he has written and he has written it well.

The 144 page book is gripping. But still the concepts and facts described takes time to sink in. Some of them are debatable while some from my view are just absurd.The foreward in the book itself says as this book deals with contradictory subject, it would be great if ppl could form focus groups and start discussing.


The book starts with a courier person confronting the "Avatar" during one of his schedules and begin to start conversing. The former questions, the latter clarifies. They talk about Bing-bang theory, people, cult, culture, civilization,country, free will, statistics, probablity, science and what not. Quite enlightening. But then, tel u frankly i cudnt get most of the fundas in my first read. The book claims that humans are the Gods' debris. The big bang is when the god blew himself into pieces. These parts would integrate to form a whole God again...However inspite of blowing himself up, God is conscious of wats happening. In short our consciousness is Gods' consciousness.

In my defence i already used the phrase "The book claims" :) . So read the book and have more fun. I would love to quote all the exact sentences but my consciousness forbids, so here is one for the teeming literates..

"If God knows what the future holds,then all our choices are already made, aren’t they ? Free will must be an illusion.”
