Books: Why Darwin Matters

Why Darwin Matters: The Case Against Intelligent Design by Michael Shermer


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A breezy read through all the arguments you will ever need to argue with any proponent of Intelligent Design. This book, written by the head of the National Skeptics Society, pretty much lays bare all the arguments used against evolution in the name of equal time or “teaching the controversy” of (essentially) creationism vs. evolution. Science has a process: Intelligent Design has an agenda. As Shermer concludes, “Darwin Matters because evolution matters. Evolution matters because science matters. Science matters because it is the pre-eminent story of our age, an epic saga about who we are, where we came from and where we are going.” (P. 161) ‘Nuff said.

DGK10 at the Sidebar this Saturday!!!

Are you up for a Davey G show?
Did you miss the last one?


This Saturday! On the eve of my new career outside of the food service industry, the Sidebar hosts the second
Davey G and the Keyboard 10th Anniversary Show!
We all had so much fun last month at the first DGK10 show, and many of you came out and had a great time. But maybe some of you couldn’t make it. And some of you really missed the presence of Man-Friend: the Davey G Tribute band. Well, here’s our chance to make it right, and celebrate ten years of Davey G and the Keyboard.
