The Science Delusion by Rupert Sheldrake
I've just recently started reading this book, and am finding it to be a truly fascinating, intelligent and highly-charged read.
Anyone else read, and if so what did you think?

sounds good and there's plenty of lofty scientific rhetoric to dismantle

Why do we need an open mind for science, I would think we need an open mind more for the belief in spiritual matters.

Cracked into this some more this evening. It's definitely lofty, but not so much that it's inaccessible.
