Jay,

On a different tack, you may want to read the two books written by two
writers of exceptional insight and analytical ability:

http://www.samharris.org/

Harris' book is a tour de force in incontravertible logic. It explores
the origin of belief systems, the source of ethics theory and the
effect of faith on human development and the Worl'd problems today.

http://www.wolframscience.com/

Wolfram's book develops the origins of patterns as they relate to just
about everything in the Cosmos. From the origins of apparent randomness
in physical systems, to the development of complexity in biology. From
the interplay between free will and determinism, and the character of
intelligence in the universe.

Both of these books require commitment on behalf of the reader, as they
are NOT filled with sematics and fluff. Every word in every sentence is
there for a reason and demands to be read in context and understood.
The books are both a tough slug, but the rewards of understanding is
priceless. I recommending them both to anyone with a serious
intellectual investment in learning.

Happy 4th to everyone!
