I wasn't entirely certain what to expect from this
book. The subtitle, "A Personal View of the Search for God,”
gave me the impression that it would somehow be a reconciliation of
religion with the rigor of scientific thought. Instead, it is a systematic
dismantling of the traditional idea of God. It holds up various pieces
of fuzzy logic and sets out piles of clear, gently expressed, scientific
fact alongside them. It's not at all a vicious book. Sagan offers such
enthusiasm, such abundant pleasure in the discovery of knowledge, and
such absolute faith in our capacity to understand, that you can’t
help but feel delighted by his eloquent rationalism. He's in love with
the scientific world, and it's infectious.
