Well,ok,since you've clicked on the title,I'm guessing you're slightly interested.So,here we go.

You know the guy who draws the Dilbert cartoons?Well,if you don't or do,he draws some cartoons and now he wrote a pretty damn interesting book.It seems sort of like a philosphy book,but I'm not sure how to describe it.I think it's pretty mind opening in some parts,though some I just can't agree with.

But anyways,it's a free e-book,so here's the link to it: http://www.andrewsmcmeel.com/godsdebris/

Check it out.

Read it before.

He has some interesting ideas but his grasp of science, and especially evolution, is laughably poor in places.

I've read it, and its sequel "The Religion Wars". Both are good reads. Scott Adams does take various questionable leaps of logic and make some false claims (which he admits himself), but the purpose of the book is to be a thought experiment, nothing more. It's definitely worth a look.

Scott Adans is great because he never pretends to be something he's not, he's just a simple man, asking questions

Not free, but then neither was the first at release. The second book isn't as thought-provoking, but is good nonetheless.
