[I can see this going into a huge off-topic war. Further answer from me will be off line] "Honesty pills"? Why would anyone be biased one way or the other? Evolution (it's a mistake to call it Darwinism) is the theory that better explains what we observe. That's all the merit it has, besides making a lot of sense in the minds of people who have studied biology or played with evolutionary algorithms. There's actually no meaningful way to relate evolution, a worldly, pedestrian, mundane scientific theory, to the "question of deity", because that question is non-scientific, ie, able to dodge any rational argument we throw at it. At first glance it looks like a book from someone pushing Intelligent Design, which isn't really a scientific theory. > It's an easy read, and an iintellectual eye-opener.

I'll try to find a copy and read it. j -- Juan Buhler http://www.jbuhler.com blog at http://www.jbuhler.com/blog
