If Carl has opinions that ought not to aired in public, I applaud him for not expressing them in public.<BR/><BR/>And Will Provine is indeed great.

It was another guest at St. Elmo's on Thursday night who ordered decaf coffee but I won't mention her name in order to protect her reputation.)Larry Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756598746605455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-58257098015075770652008-08-24T09:43:00.000-04:002008-08-24T09:43:00.000-04:00According to Neil Tyson, Issac Newton was the grea...According to Neil Tyson, Issac Newton was the greatest scientists who ever lived.

They both say a lot of things, so chances are they'll get some of them right from time to time, just by chance.<BR/><BR/>I've even agreed with some things you say. Whenever I do, I think about the metaphor of the stopped clock. :-)<BR/><BR/>All joking aside, I think Carl Zimmer is an excellent science writer. He's also someone who is more knowledgeable about biology than many biologists, or philosophers.Larry Moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05756598746605455848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37148773.post-44252904093804034232008-08-24T00:30:00.000-04:002008-08-24T00:30:00.000-04:00First you start agreeing with Dawkins, now Zimmer!...First you start agreeing with Dawkins, now Zimmer!
