Thanks for the link to the Q&A with Heather Mac Donald, Ramesh. Even if she worries too much about the God question (I mean, who knows?), it made, as always with Ms. Mac Donald, a terrific read, with plenty to agree with, and plenty not to.

To the extent, however, that she would like to see religion fade away (I think that’s a fair inference from what she writes) that dream, like most dreams, can only end in disappointment. Humanity is, by and large, hardwired to believe in the supernatural. The only remaining question concerns the form that belief will take.
