James Le Fanu: "Science in the media: keeping it (too) simple"

[randlejulian]

Fascinating exposition of the author of the excelent book "why us"

[bbnt752]

Interestingly, James Le Fanu makes a comparison of fly to a pebble, and amazes on the complexity of a fly. Let me throw in a verse of Quran:

O people! a parable is set forth, therefore listen to it: surely those whom you call upon besides Allah cannot create fly, though they should all gather for it, and should the fly snatch away anything from them, they could not take it back from i weak are the invoker and the invoked. (Quran 022:073)
