"Supernatural explanations always mean the end of inquiry: that's the way God wants it, end of story. Science, on the other hand, is never satisfied: our studies of the universe will continue until humans go extinct."
Everyone should read "Why Evolution Is True". The information in this book is important and well explained. Every paragraph is interesting. There is nothing tedious in this book.
Another book everyone should read is by the same author, Jerry Coyne (University of Chicago biologist). "Faith Versus Fact: Why Science and Religion Are Incompatible".
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
