Title: I am a non-scientist who is interested in science,so...
Review: The Demon Haunted World is quite enjoyable. Carl Sagan believes it is important to take the time to explain, for layman like myself. He is pretenious at times but he doesn't talk down & makes complicated subjects clear. This book is not for people who cannot change their pre-conceptions or do not have a curiosity for worlds they are not trained for. People who cling to pseudo-science, faith healing, channeling, alien abductions etc. are probably not reading Carl Sagan in any case. Dr. Sagan, more than anyone wants to believe in alien visitation but real evidence is not there. He is persuasive in his faith in science over that of a supreme being. However, they are not mutually exclusive. One requires proof, the other, faith. Every time I read or hear something by Sagan, I want more. Unfortunately, this is it.
