Overview

Imagine if Bill Nye the Science Guy and Monty Python teamed up to host a TED Talk... while drunk... at a theology convention... in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. Then you'd land smack in the middle of this loony book: ""Crossing the God Line, What Frankenstein Knew that Darwin Didn't."" This book doesn't ask ""Where did we come from?"" so much as it kicks that question in the shins and shouts, ""Are you sure about that, Darwin?"" Armed with equal parts curiosity, sarcasm, and a suspicious amount of caffeine, the author drags readers on a whirlwind safari through human development, evolution, entropy, and the uncomfortable truth that assembling a conscious meat-suit from cosmic leftovers might not be as straightforward as a biology textbook suggests. You'll meet atoms trying to date, molecules with commitment issues, and proteins badly assembling themselves like IKEA furniture with some pieces missing. You'll visit Frankenstein's lab, where the good doctor may have had a better handle on the perils of playing God than we give him credit for. And you'll stare down the cold, logical barrel of the Path of Least Resistance and ask: ""If the universe is really that lazy, how the heck did we get here?"" But don't worry, this isn't a lecture. It's a late-night bar argument between science and philosophy, refereed by a confused bartender with a philosophy minor and a hangover. Expect laugh-out-loud moments, eyebrow-raising observations, and a creeping suspicion that life might be a cosmic prank with surprisingly good punchlines. Whether you're a devout believer, a hardened atheist, or someone who just likes poking holes in sacred cows with a marshmallow stick, ""Crossing the God Line"" invites you to question everything--especially the idea that we actually know what we're talking about. Spoiler alert: we probably don't.
