R&S: How many people here have actually read scientific or historical texts on the issues under discussion?

I did read Richard Dawkins's other books such as the Blind watchmaker, Stephen Jay Gould books such as three little pigs and university evolution text books. I have read "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection". I did read also stuff on history and philosophy of religion. I study degree in religion and history, which is my second BA. I have a BA (hons) Politics and Criminology and MA International Studies. So I also study the politics of religion too.
