A Sense of Wonder

8 Ramadhan 1432

It's a funny thing but there's something about Prof Dawkins I find very likable, despite the fact that he's obviously a very irritating and irritable chap. I remember seeing one of his televised lectures and responding to his abundant enthusiasm for the biological marvels around us and his ability to convey a sense of just how marvellous those marvels are.

By far the best bits of The God Delusion deal with precisely those areas and they often shine. It's a pity they are just bits though.
