Sqwark, Have you read Origin of Species? Your comment, "Understand this: Darwinism has serious credibility and evidentiary gaps in its current formulation. Gaps which have not been explicated at all with the passing of time, as Darwin expected." is not an accurate understanding of what Dar...

Anand, Welcome! I'm new here too. I have enjoyed reading responses to the thread concerning the last 5 books people have read. It not only gives you a reading list, but lets you know a little something about each person. You might want to check it out if you haven't done so.

Chris, The two bookstores I went to this weekend didn't have Unweaving the Rainbow. They both did have several rows of books on spirituality(I'm in the bible belt)! Tomorrow I will call 4 more in the area. I'm sure one of them will have it. Ordering it will take too long, since I want to read most o...

Timothy, Thanks for the welcoming. I will try to heed your advice regarding Chris' jokes. Last night I did laugh, but not out loud, when he discussed this(hypothetical)bowling trick of his. Someone asked for pictures of Chris performing this extraordinary feat. Be on the look-out...

Please be patient while I learn the etiquette, lingo, and process! I am a teacher, home for the summer, looking for some like-minded people to share ideas ...

I just finished reading The Selfish Gene. Chicken Soup for the Teacher's Soul was before that(I'm a teacher--it was a gift!). Then there was Strange Behavior-Tales of Evolutionary Neurology, The Darwin Awards, and Darwin's Dangerous Idea. I also enjoy reading books about dogs, apes, mysteries, and j...
