Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. If today you discovered that your deeply held religious beliefs were untrue, what would you do? Earth Revisited: The Trainee is a short, thought-provoking, light-hearted, science fiction novel about 1F20 and 0D22, a team from the alien race that seeded the Earth with life forms, who were sent on a critical fact-finding mission to the planet regarding the human thought process. Their focus was on religion and its impact on people. The information they obtained was to be used to determine the fate of humans. The aliens designed a series of covert interviews, spanning several weeks, to obtain direct input from the two main religious groups, the Maalists and the Stians.

Ironically, the two processes use the same mechanisms because the believer invariably ends up deceiving himself. In this war on reality, which side are you on? This item is printed on demand.
