This is the book I've been waiting for on multiple philosophical levels. How can the non-literal, science-friendly Christianity that's so popular these days reconcile itself with some basic scientific tenets that are fundamentally contradictory? These book tackles many of these issues head-on with pointed and thorough panache. Though fiction, that's only a means to explore profound philosophical questions about how religion and science can mingle with evolution, cosmology and the human soul. There's also an important explanation to why we haven't encountered aliens yet given the amount of time the galaxy has existed (the Fermi Paradox).
Free-thinking Christians owe it to themselves to pick this up if only to equip themselves for an increasingly scientific and secular world. Even as an atheist, I find it answers many questions I have and raises even more: my favorite kind of philosophy.
