Open Your Eyes


This is the 1st Chapter of Unweaving the Rainbow by Richard Dawkins...
Dawkins has helped me understand and comprehend what I already innately know.
A great read...

Not only a great read but a great concept that is denied by millions of people here in America.

How ignorantly sad.

Hello Microdot,
I am a fan of Richard Dawkins. His explanation of science so really anyone can understand is very good.

I loved the philosophical contemplation aspect of Dawkins viewpoint of this piece.

Good Job!

I read a lot of comments about this piece on YouTube...the underlying current of many people is that the concept of a universe that is comprehendable makes them lonely and afraid....
Dawkins is a poet as well as a great scientist/philosopher. He is able to put concepts together and explain them and use uplifiting language to illuminate them like a modern medieval manuscript of thought.
