hmm..
for example, think of a sci-fi story including characters who discuss about existence of god
[
x: god is now here
y: god is no where
x: god is now here
y: god is no where
...
..
]
that silly infinite loop hehe ;)
by the way what about Lem's fictions? in The Star Diaries, there is a great story which has a strange concept containing robots who have strange beliefs and thoughts about god, existence etc [my favourite sci-fi story].
In a collection book of sci-fi stories i read a comment complaining about some Lem fictions because of their being "metaphysical".
what about it?
"any metaphysical subject is forbidden in science fiction"?
it is not science, it is science-fiction.
[hmm this can be another discussion subject which is directly related with the definiton of sci-fi.]
btw, i am not a theologist or a metaphysics maniac [and astrology surely sucks ;)].
i just wonder what people think about that-the relationship between metaphysics and science fiction.
