A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love

A Devil's Chaplain: Reflections on Hope, Lies, Science, and Love - Richard Dawkins It would no doubt discomfit Dawkins to know that I revere the words he writes with an almost religious zeal. I love his belligerence, I love his conviction, I love his passion. And I believe he's correct in his science. The closing essay is a letter to his daughter about how to decide what to believe, and it's brilliant. I liked learning more about the alleged feud between Dawkins and Stephen Jay Gould. I found myself taking notes about books mentioned in passing. A delightful book which reinforces all my prejudices.
