"There is one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one's life - reciprocity." - Confucius

This blog is still very new, obviously, and my readership is not about to threaten Myspace or Facebook, but is growing steadily every day. That's particularly gratifying, given that my subject matter is clearly rather eclectic (or 'all over the map' if you prefer) and my views admittedly a tad eccentric so I cannot depend on building up a core readership in a tightly defined area. That said, I have had a substantial number of hits and correspondence resulting from my posts related to science, evolution, agnosticism and atheism. And many of them have come from people having clicked on either my comment links or other links on sites referencing this blog. I want to acknowledge two such sites and recommend that if these subjects interest you as much as they do me, you perhaps pay both of these sites a visit.

The first is:  http://www.iamanatheist.com

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that I don't really need to explain the main theme of that site to you. Lots of correspondence; lots of give and take; lots of interesting ideas kicked about there in the blog section.

The other is: http://www.faithfullyliberal.com/?p=883

The writer here is definitely not an atheist, but, based on the book review this link takes you to, I think you will agree that he is the farthest thing from a fanatical, unthinking Christian. His critical examination of a Richard Dawkins book is excellent - a near perfect explanation of exactly the sorts of problems I have when reading scientists' "proofs" of the non-existence of god. This man knows a fallacy or a non sequitor when he sees one. Well worth a visit whatever your particular views on these subjects.
