I'm so sorry for the caps, but I'm deep into chapter 7, and...-After everything we've talked about at this site, I'm positively convinced that if even to only understand David's thinking--you need to read this book; I'll even send you my copy for free once I'm done with it, if that's what it takes.-It's written for a lay audience, but I can help with any chemistry you may need--It's been 2 years but I can still follow along well. I can help you with anything. -He writes in a way that really; is training in how to spot nonscientific arguments. When he discusses (in chapter 7) the progression of origins as depicted in well, a very MODERN light, you view immediately (at least for someone trained in natural philosophy) all the red flags that have gone off for a great many reasoned persons. -to David: He does make some mathematical errors, but we've only been able to measure time at this scale for a few years: all his statistical calculations assume (as I made mention of in previous posts) 1 try per second. This does NOT take into consideration the actual amount of time needed for any rxn (shorthand for 'reaction' for the uninitiated) to occur. And I'm sorry for waiting so long to read this!

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
