The Great Experiment: Is There Anybody Out There? - Tapa blanda

"Dr. Johns from CERN and his team search for the beginning of the universe by means of a huge simulation.
Is it possible to eliminate God as creator? If this could be proved doubtlessly, all religious quarrels would be ended and the world would be a more peaceful place.
But what if we are alone indeed and faith would be just a small comfort?"

Born out of severe doubts in God's mere existence this story helped the author to decide whether he should give faith yet another chance.

Eckhard Graf lives in Germany. He studied electronics in Germany and England and works in a leading IT company for several years now. His first work as author was a fictional short story about the world's end (or rather about meeting Christ on that day). It took about two decades until he wrote his second book: “The Great Experiment” is once more a (science) fictional story, once more closely related to faith (as well as doubts!), though this time not about the world’s end but about its beginning. What if we could simulate evolution? This second story was the result of heavy personal doubts and an aid to overcome them.
