Or more like Sagan's subtitle for DEmon Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark. Theistic religion is more likely to be a source of ignorance and superstition than enlightenment.<br /><br />Good luck with the book, though!Your Name's Not Bruce?noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-50391547940087911632009-10-24T07:34:39.033+11:002009-10-24T07:34:39.033+11:00Hm.

I will make a point of writing up, the best way I can (which will be lacking I'm sure) a critique of some of your claims - Not having to do with the book. It will likely backfire, but I think it would be essential to get out there the few attempts you have made to confuse science and reason advocacy (usually under the guise of "atheistic" or counter religion advocacy - both of which I whole heartily support, just not some of your incredibly inane attempts). <br /><br />There, just thought I'd make more friends while I'm here :)Luke Vogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658298504019203098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-18489486389302325292009-10-24T04:01:46.384+11:002009-10-24T04:01:46.384+11:00Russell,

I can't even touch the crazy approach you have taken with Coyne with overlapping arguing that the supernatural is within the realm of science). I take it from what you have said, that you would think the same of me (and in some cases for good reason and for that I apologize). <br /><br />With that said, congratulation on the publication of this book.<br /><br />Best of luck with it. Also, congrats on all your cool new stuff...Luke Vogelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09658298504019203098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-66861492249540056392009-10-23T06:42:05.829+11:002009-10-23T06:42:05.829+11:00Will do Russell.

I don't think there's an official publication date here other than the UK one of 9 October, but it has taken some time to get ship copies from wherever they are warehoused and get them physically into shops.Russell Blackfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431324430596809958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24761391.post-71303916866302312862009-10-22T16:44:15.617+11:002009-10-22T16:44:15.617+11:00Amazon told me that mine had shipped the other day...Amazon told me that mine had shipped the other day.
