I am interested in seeing what he has to say since I've heard he's a good writer despite being arrogant.

I have read his books, listened to his interviews, watch his Twitter feed, etc. He is a brilliant scientist. I find that I agree some of his observations on religion. However, he is all too often rude, dismissive, insensitive and sometimes petty. It is really a shame.<br /><br />I have spoken with creationists who were amazingly sharp and thoughtful so I can understand that point.<br /><br />As for belief in God and evolution I get that too. If I were a believer my thinking would go something like - God obviously designed a Universe where physical laws apply the vast majority of the time. Evolution is just a consequence of those laws. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
