GENIUS!
Having just finished (around 15 minutes ago) Not By Chance, I can honestly say
that it was incredible book. It offers extremely valuable insights into many diverse
fields of scientific research which have important implications for neo-darwinian
evolution. I highly recommend the book. (Though I do think it's somewhat
technical, and that a reader would be best off with at least some background in
cellular biology before reading the book.) (Interestingly, Spetner reports that the
thrust of his thesis is actually parallel to an idea presented in the Talmud!)
Also, I would have to argue with your belief that "no religion is perfect". I believe
that G-d is all powerful and is thus fully capable of making a perfect religion. (I
don't think He'd give us a religion which wasn't perfect either!)
And, as King David declared in one my favorite psalms (which is part of the
Jewish prayer on Sabbath), "The law of the L-RD is perfect, restoring the soul; the
testimony of the L-RD is sure, making wise the simple." (Ps. 19:8)
btw, I first heard of this incredible book around 6 months ago when I read this
article on aish! Reading it has enhanced my understanding of the world. Thanks
again aish!
