Carroll has me wanting to throw in the towel and read someone who isn't such a rooster about his own created theory. How many times does he talk about the fact that something cannot be proven only to then say that his poetic naturalism pretty much cannot not be wrong (yet he cannot prove it) but rests in the fact that it is a safe middle ground. Meh..then again, I am a layperson, maybe I got it wrong.

I swore a week ago I'd call it a day...and yet, I want the punchline. This is one of those books that leaves me with more books to read since I've not a scientific mind. I feel that Carroll is wrong, however, I've no empirical data to back it up.

Meh..as a layperson this can be above my pay grade, however, I am also suspicious of anyone who claims they have it all figured out. Carroll's poetic naturalism seems to fit his narrative a little too nicely. Will continue, but I am so far unconvinced, and more convinced that he is just upset that he couldn't move a piece of paper with his mind when a child...
