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.

读后感
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...

唉呀。这可是我第一本自己花钱买的“英文原版书”呀。不过字好小，书也小，纸质也不如那些硬皮版的书，比较粗糙，好在方便携带且便宜！里面的生物学和天文学名词让我极其抓狂，所以其实是中英对照的看完的。但是，仍然是一本很感人，很有悬念，也可以算是比较好的解释了地球和生命的存在，书中也很系统的列举了一大堆进化论，生物学及天文学的知识，还是很受教的。也让听着进化论长大的我很是反省了一般。当然最感人的，还是主角的人生故事。
评分是关于信仰，关于死亡，关于亲情的故事。
评分如果不是哈里波特,雨果奖就是它的了。可怜的罗伯特·J·索耶.
评分freaking awesome 真不该输给哈利波特啊
评分震撼！
