What I can grasp from your writing is a wholesome perspective of the ultimate dual being fought by many generations now, to put one thing above the other? Religion, read as belief versus science read as realistic/materialistic proof. Idiot box is full of hosting such documentaries trying to authenticate or discard beliefs which we have as a part of our virtue. Lets not perceive and never shall we imbibe the notion that one of these is root of all evils. If we as a part of scientific community small as may we be, do that we might leave the morality that our respective religions preach and now imagine the science without morality. I would like to sum up with one line " Humanity will vanish if divinity absents itself".

It's not that every single American Christian is baying for the blood of the "evolutionists". Interestingly one of the most important critiques, and certainly the most readable,of Dawkins' book comes not from the Christian establishment but from a Marxist literary critic, Terry Eagleton, in the London Review of Books http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n20/terry-eagleton/lunging-flailing-mispunching.Ashishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019016808975565123noreply@blogger.com
