| 'What is the one thing everyone should learn about science? Spiked asked 250 scientists - here we bring you some of the most provocative responses' I read this article and thought it was pretty interesting, some of the points raised I love, and totally agree with, such as this one: 'Frighteningly, most people do not understand Darwin's great insight. What people miss is the sheer inevitability of the creative process. Once you see it —copy, vary, select; copy, vary, select —you see that design by natural selection simply has to happen. This is not like Isaac Newton's laws, or quantum physics, or any of the other great theories in science, where one can ask "why is this so?" It simply has to be the case. Then, the scary implications follow. If everyone understood evolution, then the tyranny of religious memes would be weakened, and we little humans might find a better way to live in this pointless universe.' - Susan Blackmore, Science writer and broadcaster, and visiting lecturer at the University of the West of England in Bristol. It's well worth a read. |

| My favorite: John Sulston One of the leaders of the Human Genome Project, and joint recipient of the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine We have to accept responsibility for the survival of the human race, instead of praying about it. The prize, if we can embrace this humanist philosophy, is an infinite and unimaginably exciting journey ahead of us. |
