Attack in Barnes and Noble 2

You may not notice the battle between Religion and Science in your life.  But in the war torn world of Barnes and Noble, the battle rages on and only the most callous fail to be burned by its atrocities.

This is my second discovery of the phenomenon small trend of people playing sneaky with The God Delusion book. A Richard Dawkins book that routinely destroys vestiges of religious faith in people’s lives using reasoning and science over and over and over again.  Christians HATE this book.

I was eyeing the science section of the bookstore hoping for something to pique my interest while waiting out Orange County/Los Angeles traffic.  I was scanning through the evolutionary biology section and laughed out loud in the store before eagerly grabbing for my camera. This was the 2nd time, 70 miles apart from the first, that someone had hijacked this book!  A person had put the book What Darwin Got Wrong in front of The God Delusion after turning the Dawkins book backwards.  They hid The God Delusion from sight so that no one could come across it by accident and want to know more.

But what’s even funnier about this whole thing is that despite the sensationalist title of “What Darwin Got Wrong,” both authors of the book, Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, are both ATHEISTS.  Atheists that perceive shortfalls in evolution.  This book won’t advance your understanding of current evolutionary thought, but it won’t stop you from having doubts about Christianity either.

 

Olly Olly Outs In Free!!!


After having flipped the book around... TADA!!!!…
