Calculating God is the new near-future SF thriller from the popular and award-winning Robert J. Sawyer. An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges, who says, in perfect English, "Take me to a paleontologist." It seems that Earth, and the alien's home planet, and the home planet of another alien species traveling on the alien mother ship, all experienced the same five cataclysmic events at about the same time (one example of these "cataclysmic events" would be the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races believe this proves the existence of God: i.e. he's obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of these planets.From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a fast-paced, and morally and intellectually challenging, SF story that just grows larger and larger in scope. The evidence of God's universal existence is not universally well received on Earth, nor even immediately believed. And it reveals nothing of God's nature. In fact. it poses more questions than it answers.When a supernova explodes out in the galaxy but close enough to wipe out life on all three home-worlds, the big question is, Will God intervene or is this the sixth cataclysm:?Calculating God is SF on the grand scale.

评分印象最深刻的就是索耶接触的这个女外星人能够自己直接跟自己对视：左眼看着右眼，右眼看着左眼，两只眼睛对视了一下。当然，接下来必然是：相视一笑，心领神会。 在外星人这个问题上，我觉得难题之一是设想外星人是什么样子。除了Lovecraft，很多人设想出来的外星人都是地球上...
评分作为科幻，这本书的idea并不新鲜。它好就好在三观端正。这才是在写小说。从细节里所看到的是真正的，值得尊敬的科学家，有好奇心、尊严、同时也是脆弱的人。外星人并不是都是来侵略的，去他x的侵略，去他x的先见政府首脑，我们只是来地球看一看化石，为了好奇心。好奇心是什么...
