First extract of Richard Dawkins new book.

[TruthWorthy]

Philosophy, how i despise the waste of intellect.

That just about sums it up for me

It would seem some Dawkin's followers would better spend their time learning from astrophysist Stephen Hawkin's. Try this for $11.00!

Frankly, I've read the "The Greatest Show On Earth: Evidence for evolution" and found the writing style inconsistent with his other book "The God Delusion", which I found was fkn fantastically written, whereas the newest addition digresses so much that I trully feel it was either a very well written first draft, or showed signs of early on set that has seeped into the material.
Some of the reasons I found this to be the case include the frequent use of the term digress in excusing himself to go off on tangents.
The inconsistant pace of reading where you can hum through several lots of pages and then get snowed under with technical details limited to the more understanding in the field. While I found that I did really appreciate the understanding I gained, this did detract from the professional writting style he'd used previously. And I did enjoy the book overall, it just seemed to lack a certain amount of impact found in earlier books. Worthwhile reading.
None the less - I wouldn't argue finite and infinite until you're up to speed with Hawkin's theorum of quantum physics.
