A Short History of Nearly Everything


I finally finished this book. A page here, a page there, and it takes a while.

Mr. Dawson of Cayley Junior High science/math fame-if only you would have put it that way maybe it wouldn't have said this on every report card:

"Sarah needs to apply herself ... grade does not reflect ability."

I do still love you, Mr. Dawson, after all these years!

Very interesting read and highly recommended, although I skipped the last chapter on evolution. It bores me, not because I don't love the theory of evolution. The author just kept talking like "aw, shucks for the religious types. Sorry to see you are wrong." I believe God created the earth. That doesn't mean he waved a magic wand. I love the fact that thought, and time, and faith, and learning went into the creation of this magnificent Universe. The end.

  1. Great review! I couldn't agree more about the book, and about your thoughts on the evolution chapter.
