Having concluded positively that Christopher Hitchens does know what he’s talking about in the faith vs science debate, I have to say that the rhetoric here is unnecessarily dirty.
The prince is an easy target without coherent argument, or necessarily the expertise for such argument, but he is expressing a real concern for soulless scientism.

Yes, it does look interesting. Out on the road again, so may be next weekend before I have time for a quality read. Thanks.
I’ve read about half of it. It is very good. I need to complete and blog some comments / responses.
