> A new book called The Epigenetic Revolution by Nessa Carey (a lecturer in genetics at Imperial College) was reviewed last week in The Guardian. -> It is indeed mind-numbing. And all this, bear in mind, is part of a mechanism that actually works. It's "the book of life; a huge encyclopaedia; a sacred chain of code 3 bn characters long". You really have to admire the faith of those who reject even the possibility of design.-The reviewer does not recognize Shapiro's book, Evolution, which is just as complicated and just as startling in its conclusions. Larry Moran in Sandwalk blog is already attacking Shapiro, by claiming Shapiro makes mistakes in articles that are peer reviewed. This is one of Moran's methods, denegrate the person. Moran is quite the adolescent. Paradigms are changing and the old guard is resisting. (Kuhn!)
