An erudite professor. If the subject matter doesn't interest then the sheer brilliance of his prose should. Fortunately the subject is unwaveringly interesting and exciting. Evolution, natural selection and Atheism, but there's so much more. Richard is a Philosopher and a moralist, there can be morals without scripture, and the world would be a far better place too. Global warming is not at issue here, a return to the Dark Ages of religious oppression and persecution is far more frightening, and indeed where we are heading here in the US. Read it, it's important that you pass the messages on.
