1. Loved it - after you finish it you will know Evolution backwards and forwards |
|
You'll know how Carbon dating works, and why its so reliable You'll know how we evolved , and how genetics work in evolution You'll know why Noahs Ark is BS
Great read, and he only bogs down into the numbers for a little while

2. I can't wait to dig in! |

I have read several of his books and I have never been disappointed.
I NEVER get the numbers stuff. I wish I had learned more math in school , but frankly in the 1950s girls just did not learn that stuff . We were considered incapable of abstract thinking!
Things have changed for girls since then!
