Evidence of Purpose - Edited by John Marks Templeton
Online excerpts

I'm settled on the notion of a universal purpose to the cosmos.

The symphony of the universe is essentially in the eye of the beholder. Science ultimately leads to philosophy when one wants to know why the universe is.

I have a lot of interest in this topic. Are the authors themselves scientists or philosophers ?

Bought Darwins "Origin of species" at the weekend.

Anyone read it yet?

The authors are professors, nobel prize winners, physicists, chairs, fellows, PHDs. I got the book out of the library.

Ok, imma gona check this out of my school library.

Someone gave me a copy of this book for a present so I attempted to read it. But it was waaaay tooo b0ring for me. It's quite technical and I'm not that interested in biology. So I didn't read it.

Evidence of Purpose is pretty deep too dude

I mean, anything talking about the very essence of the universe is going to be pretty deep reading.

I've had to re-read sections, because sometimes, it's just not easy to comprehend the first time reading. I also, write down important points that I'de want to remember, or else, I'll read the book, and forget what I read!

anna karenine from tolsto�

I don't mind reading that kind of "deep" books. I've read them before. I can recommend you another very interesting book on a similar topic, if you are interested. Origin Of Species is technical from a biology point of view. Too many technical names and terms and detailed experimental analysis. It's quite tedious. Pretty dense for an engineer with n00b knowledge of biology.

The Prodigal Sun by Sean Williams and Shane Dix. It's some space opera shit that sends me to sleep each night.

girlfriend suggested it. So far, I laiiiiike.

You mother******s can't read.

Ask the Awakened, by Wei Wu Wei

The Day on Fire by James Ramsey Ullman [a novel suggested by the life of Arthur Rimbaud]

Oooooh. I've been wanting to read some Tolstoy for a long time. I'ma try to read that next!


Or maybe I should go back and first read all the other stuff I've promised myself, lol.

Currently reading "To Kill a Mockingbird,"

I haven't read a novel in years.

Starship Troopers

Just finished The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett. Great book.

My book makes my mind feel horny. I never want it to end! It's gonna be tough to follow it with something else. :/

The Joy of Fat Sex.

The Awful Truth - Patrick Conway

It's about academias failure to provide humanity with a cohesive universal explaination of our origins. Theories of origins are all religious, even evolution. All rely on axioms (assumptions) to prove them true.

if you haven't read anything from Bret Easton Ellis yet, i suggest you do.

American Psycho and Glamorama are my favorites from Ellis. he's got a different style than Palahniuk but i'd say they're pretty similar in that they both write some pretty fucked up shit in a really entertaining way.
