You gotta love the World Wide Web (thanks Tim Berners-Lee)

So to come up with ideas for Book 2 (or El Libro Dos) as my friend, Eric Romero, dubbed it, I went to Google and typed in something like "god science brain universe consciousness."

I don't remember exactly what sites and pages this search returned, but every time I visited a page I learned something new. Some things I read were pure speculation, others were essays written about hard scientific research. But everything I found positioned the subject matter a slightly different way, or mentioned something completely new, and so I clicked and I clicked and I clicked some more. I was using the World Wide Web in exactly the way it had been designed--discovering new information in a nonlinear, associative way. I found the whole research process quite interesting, especially when I learned that the Web had been invented by Tim Berners-Lee, who proposed the idea in 1980 while working as an independent contractor at CERN. CERN is a physics facility in Europe, where the most powerful particle accelerator in the world is currently being built.
