I do have Jerry Coyne’s book “Why Evolution Is True” and it’s a fantastic book. I’ve also read “The Greatest Show on Earth” by Richard Dawkins and this is a natural partner to Coyne’s book with a fair amount of overlap but both complementary to each other. Here’s a talk by Coyne with an introduction [...]
Just came across this video upload from richarddawkins.net of a lecture by Lawrence Krauss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ImvlS8PLIo ‘A Universe From Nothing’ by Lawrence Krauss I lot of this I already knew but there was a wealth of information such as what happens inside a proton.

India would have been a better place without Sathya Sai Baba http://richarddawkins.net/articles/620350-india-would-have-been-a-better-place-without-sathya-sai-baba But he’s not the only leech.

I was going to post something about the recent BBC Horizon episode “Science Under Attack” but I held off as I needed to calm down after witnessing, in my humble opinion, the bizarre behaviour of Daily Telegraph journalist James Delingpole. Well, I’ve calmed down now and have seen that richarddawkins.net has some commentary on this [...]
Via richarddawkins.net: Palestinian Blogger Angers West Bank Muslims http://richarddawkins.net/articles/549805-palestinian-blogger-angers-west-bank-muslims The local Palestinian Authority has detained Mr. Hasayin on suspicion of being a blasphemer. Pathetic Palestinian response. What is it with religions that they demand slaves to dogmas? That they deign to call unreasonable actions reasonable? That evils are perpetuated and even demanded in their name? [...]
