Reddit reviews Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God

One of my favorites. Thanks for posting!

*edit* My comment was vapid. Here's at least something else. I saw this while watching one of the other videos posted in these comments. I had no idea Greg had this book out. I believe I shall have to read it.

What is it with scientists and music? Greg Graffin, the lead singer of Bad Religion, is also a biology professor. Are there any others out there? I remember Dr. Graffin mentions some in his book but I cannot recall them off the top of my head.

Amazon link, for the lazy.

>"Learning about nature is a lifelong quest with an almost limitless subject matter. People are part of nature, and, of course, I love people. The good ones make me feel as though we were made for one another. Even the bad ones intrigue me - how do they reconcile their actions with the web of relationships in which we're all embedded? I'm not talking here about the love I feel for my family and friends, which is so ingrained as a sense of faith that I don't question it. I'm talking about a love amenable to investigation. We are only beginning to understand the nature of human contact, good and bad, and the motivations behind human actions. My love of people helps satisfy my curiosity as naturalist. If there is no destiny, there is no design. There's only life and death. My goal is to learn about life by living it, not by trying to figure out a cryptic plan that the Creator had in store for me." - Greg Graffin, Anarchy Evolution.

Greg Graffin is the lead singer for Bad Religion, but also a proffesor in Biology. I bought Anarchy Evolution about a year ago and this quote has stick with me ever since. It's also my first post to Quotesporn.

If anyone's interested in the book, here's a link to amazon (KingsRoadMerch has it out of stock):

He's got a new book too.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass but he answers pretty much all of these questions in his book Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God.

You should read this

I don't have any books signed by Dawkins. :/
I should have been more specific; I have this book signed by Greg Graffin

Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson - It helped me with learning how to accept change in life.

The Dark Tower by Stephen King - Again, sometimes you need to change in order to avoid making the same mistakes over and over. This book was kind of disappointing (compared to the rest of the series), but the message is loud and fucking clear.

Anarchy Evolution: Faith, Science, and Bad Religion in a World Without God by Greg Graffin - There was so much I learned from this book. It's hard to pinpoint one thing. The notes in the back of the book alone provide a wealth of knowledge. Lots of scientific info on evolutionary biology. You just need to read it.
