Anyone read ''the selfish gene'' or ''The God Dellusion'' by Dawkins? if so, any good? worth buying them on kindle? I read his ''The Greatest Show on Earth'' which I thought was entertaining, interesting and very heavy on the mind.
if you are interested in evolution and evolution theory then read both of them. also hoover up stuff by stephen jay gould, especially his collections of essays.
Very interested, would like to know more about it, I'll search for stephen jay gould too.
SCS, watched a lot of Christopher Hitchens on youtube, he is a genius and takes the p!ss out of his opponents sometimes. He came and did a lecture in Beirut in 08 or 09 I think, one day he was in Beirut streets and saw a poster of a pro syrian party (a pro facist one too) he took it off and shredded it, 3 minutes later the party supporters saw what he did and beat the ***** out of him
. Saw that tweet from Dawkins too, quality
Stu, Steven Hawkings is boring, he repeats himself way too much, opposed to Sagan he makes it simple for the average Joe
