The God Delusion is quite entertaining. Another good humor book is "Santa Lives: Five Conclusive Arguments for the Existence of Santa Claus". It covers the Ontological, Causal, Teleological, and Experimental Argument, as well as the Argument from Design. http://tinyurl.com/2wvqg5

Beinhocker For those of you that heard my speeches in the UK or in Brazil on why traditional economics is a pseudo-science, you will know my feelings about most economists (with the exception of Dr. Dante Suarez and a few others). It's like Eric wrote a manifesto for why we formed Simudyne. Thank you Eric! Get thee to a bookstore and read it if you are interested in simulation science (or complexity science or non-linear science or whatever we're calling it today). ;-P Oh, and I can also recommend _The God Delusion_ by Richard Dawkins. Have others on the list read these two books with their clear call to arms? What do you think of the books and their arguments? - -- Best regards, Justin Lyon M: +423 663 168892 (Worldwide) M: +44 781 480 2797 (London, UK) O: +1 210 787-3498 (San Antonio, USA) O: +44 20 8144 4072 (London, UK) E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.simudyne.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFr52KhfoqghrmIrARChK1AKCmoEF4e5RUe9CeGQbMIVXVUCTy/wCdGie7 7Uusym2Um1MQEeYkk1d3VFg= =4bl9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
