    Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor

    We have not established what scientific theories are; you have just given your option of what you assume them to be. A theory is not a certainty it is an assumption.

    Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor

    You seem to be getting irate because I don't agree with you. Sir David Attenborough's programme about Ida is very interesting but the conclusion is arrive at by way of some quite flimsy evidence.

    Uncovering Our Earliest Ancestor

    Yes I believe in evolution; but not for humans? The evidence of Ida being part of a human evolution is very weak. It all relies on one foot bone much like the evidence for Lucy relies on the pelvic bone.

    Angels & Demons

    I'm half way through Angels and Demons right now and it is a real page turner; just what a good thriller should be like. Of course there will be those who want to read more into it than what the author intended. Just as they did with The Da Vinci Code.

    Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion

    non-believers can't know what it is to believe; as non-smokers do not know what it's like to smoke. You are the equivelant of the smoker who has quit which is not the same thing.

    Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion

    Good point................... it's a bit like a train driver telling a pilot how to land an aircraft.

    The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher by Kate Summerscale. It dosen't quite meet all your criteria, but take a look on Amazon. I bought it last week but have not started it yet.

    Richard Dawkins: The God Delusion

    You keep the bonus points, since you are the first, this year, to use the phrase. :lol: Your signature quote seems ideally fitted to Dawkins. "I do not envy people who think they have a complete explanation of the world, for the simple reason that they are obviously wrong." (Salman Rushdie)
