Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-11 00:00:00 Michael Murphy I haven't finished this so I won't rate it yet. I plan to finish it eventually, but I'm not in the mood right now for a science book. I got about half way. I must admit that a lot of it is over my head. Fred Hoyle is clearly smarter than I am, especially as a mathematician. I did get his point usually though, and while his theory is not supported by mainstream science, he does use good science to make you think about it as a possibility. I did agree with him that mainstream science too often claims that a theory is fact and not just a theory and if you don't agree with that theory, you are shunned even if there is not 100% proof that the theory is true. Also, that scientists can believe a theory so wholeheartedly, Darwin's theory is the one looked at in this book, that they use their results to fit the theory instead of forming a theory based on the results.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-06-16 00:00:00 Tod Emery The theory contained in this tome, which basically concerns comets being the originators of life on earth, is extremely interesting even if it may be incorrect. It has certainly been heavily criticised. Hoyle and his co-author (shorter than writing his name out in full) set out the theory very clearly and the underlying science is well explained. Much of what is here is good science whatever the authors' conclusions might be.
