Ah yes again, I know the names but not the content to much extent. Will read upon later today!

That's probably right yeah. I remember I read this tacky book my mum got me which touched on an interesting idea similar to what you refer to, that God, all knowing and all powerful, had only one thing left he didn't know: What was it like to not exist.

So he destroyed himself into pieces we call humans on earth who are rebuilding the 'brain' of God, I suppose, in the form of civilisation on a big round rock in space, at which point God will be reborn with the knowledge of not existing.

Seemed silly as I read it, but I do like the struggle we all have with such questions that lead to books like that.
