That's the whole reason why I took the time to re-read your review after finishing this evening, though I should be in bed.<BR/><BR/>You're right about the discussion questions being laughable. A couple I found helpful in digesting it, but for the most part they are way off base. Other parts, though, I found humorous, especially a lot of what happened in the first part of the book.<BR/><BR/>I think the "this story will make you believe in God" thing has to do with the end, when he's asking the Japanese interrogators which story was better. Each story was just as implausable, but one was much more fantastic. Just like we could believe that there is a God who created and holds together every aspect of the universe, we can believe that it all came about through science (big bang, evolution, etc.). Both are implausable on various levels, but one is a much better story. Thus Pi says, "and so it goes with God." Personally, that's a weak reason to believe in God, but certainly doesn't hurt, I suppose.Ronnicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242687458315186709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589462943899657898.post-48506899607854505912009-03-09T13:13:00.000-04:002009-03-09T13:13:00.000-04:00Okay, you have convinced me to try it out!Okay, you have convinced me to try it out!United Studieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605529272895583783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7589462943899657898.post-89717260549650939552009-03-07T09:47:00.000-05:002009-03-07T09:47:00.000-05:00This book has been on my to-read list for a while,...This book has been on my to-read list for a while, but I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.
