Hint: it's the one with the Paley reference.

Earlier today, while we were shifting boxes in the storage lockers so my brother could close out his locker to consolidate into the big locker, he handed me a couple books to read. One was Sinclair's The Jungle. The other was Dawkins' The Blind Watchmaker.

I trust I need not explain which caught my attention most.

Anyway, being as I'm still in Chapter 1, I can't review anything yet, but it's exceptional so far. Let's see how it goes.

Oh wow, that does sound good.

It's a pretty fast read so far - I've just made it through Chapter 2, so he's about to start in on Darwin's theory.

Amusingly, people are still making the watch argument as if this book didn't exist. You'd think they'd acknowledge it, at least.
