God's Debris

[fenrirwoof]

So, recently I read a very interesting book called "God's Debris". Its short and was written buy Scott Adams the creator of Dilbert. Anyway, it was a very enjoyable read. It's a "fictional" story that involves a very long conversation with an old man that seems to know absolutely everything there is to know about anything, God, time, the universe,

Then again it does seem to approach Minbari religion. :)

(yanked from Wikipedia)
"The Minbari have a belief that the universe itself is sentient, and that the universe has the ability to break itself into many pieces and invests itself in every form of life. Consequently, every being is a projection of a part of the universal soul. They believe that the universe uses the perspective of individual sentient beings in a process of self-examination and a search for meaning (similar to the real-life belief of pantheism)."

Then again if a being were to be omniscient and omnipotent one way to achieve that is to be everything (assuming control of the parts is possible, after all its not like we can will our bones to grow a certain way :) )

That's not surprising, but cool to know =D I get the feeling he took ideas from a lot of different places, and some of it i think he just outright made up. you should pick it up and give it a read, tell me what you think.
