A good book to read..

is Full House, by Stephan J. Gould. It delves into Darwin's theory of evolution; here is a brief review and links. I read the book without ever hearing anything about it. It is a novel about the origin of species(Darwin) and actually gives a different opinion on the theory. It goes into detail about walls and different modes of measuring averages. Meaning, as I percieve it, that if the full spectrum of possibilities ( eg; a scale from 1-10) is shifted one direction or the other, that the MEAN average form of measurement isn't neccesarily the best equation to use to show the true value of a set of variables. All I can say is to find the book and read it for you won't be disappointed if you do. I feel that it makes a person re-analyze what they believe about evolution and morality.
