Of late I have been engulfed in the world of Richard Dawkins and Douglas Adams. Their writings, debates and insights into evolution has opened an entire new world for me. Darwin's theory of evolution and the way that it has been described through rational dialogue through Richard Dawkins and presented in such an entertaining and enlightening way through Douglas Adams many lectures and writings (compiled in the Salmon of Doubt) inspires and creates a clear mindset, unclouded by mysticism.

There is more awe in the complexity of laws that shape the natural world than there is in just assuming god made everything and we can't possibly question it or understand it.
I find that both sides have the same feeling of awe, yet one side motivates us to search, learn, and explore instead of trust and obey. A Fascinating hypocrisy isn't it!
