so, i recently purchased a book titled "The Physics of Immortality" and was so very excited by the prospect of what lay within that i only briefly read the back cover... i should have opened the book to read the index - why oh why didn't i read the chapter index??? the author is all about proving, thru physics, the universal resurrection... i've read about ten pages so far and not entirely sure i want to finish it... there should be laws governing book titles dammit  just wanted to share - if he happens to stumble across anything interesting i'll pass that info along... ------------------

whoever came up with the book title... although, in retrospect, considering how most people perceive immortality i suppose the fault rests with me perhaps i should "blame" the person who put the book in the metaphysics section rather than the Christian one... unless he/she was also duped by the title? hhmm... i go back to my original premise - the fault lies with whoever thought of the title  ------------------

Immortality can be defined in many different ways. You have to look for "physical immortality" in the title. There was no lie.------------------
