This book is a mixture of fictional and real elements. Although discussions about God’s role in Creation and our lives are fictional, they might encourage out-of-the-box thinking. However, all science, presented in the context of premature death of a young man, is based on published data.A centrally important question in the book is whether religious faith can ever be reconciled with science. The main character, Doug Lowry, argues that this is possible, but only if the faithful and organized religions start thinking about God very differently. He introduces the new concept of dual nature of God having both spiritual and material sides, the latter having the ability to interact with humans via material means.In addition, Doug suggests the existence of a new entity, information, the 'mother' of all energy and matter forms. In his view, spiritual God is the totality of information, while material God is a very highly organized information, the two forms of God forming the greatest duality of all. Doug further suggests that material God used units of information to create instructions to form elementary particles, forces, and natural laws right after the big bang. Doug, unlike physicists, thinks that information suffuses space and is still involved in short-lived particle formation. As an example, new particles, popping out of vacuum or an electron and then disappearing almost immediately, borrow energy from information for their existence, and thus the law of energy conservation is not broken.On another level, this book provides examples of how lives can be devastated, or redeemed, when the unknown and unknowable emotions residing in all of us come to the surface. Are these unknowable emotions still part of our consciousness? What triggers them? Doug, like all of us, struggles with these questions, but they remain a mystery for him. 3
