I don't want to come across as necessarily agreeing with Dawkins' essay, but
I think that part of the point has been missed here.

I don't recall Dawkins threatening to drop any meteors on New York.

As I was going through the Sci Am web site, I stumbled across the
following discussion about a possible function of the human appendix.
That is, we may be wrong when we say that the appendix is a vestigial
part of our anatomy. Since we sometimes discuss common scientific myths

point?" Well, the answer is often l
