Nuggets from Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny

“Smooth gradients” and tiny steps over millions of years of evolution and natural selection open up a fascinating vista. Welcome to Dawkins’s fantasy worldwide graveyard. The abundant fossil record reveals a horror show of freakish cast offs, many barely recognizable skeletons of partially formed bodies in all stages of evolutionary development. Strewn about are deformed skulls with remnants of fossilized partially developed brains clinging inside. Our vision blurs as, with heads bowed in reverent admiration, we contemplate Darwin’s genius and the unflinching loyalty of Dawkins.
