Doubt, of course, is a good thing, and all opinions are welcome...but as my
previous post suggested, no point in having an opinion unless you engage in
the injunction (i.e. read the material, then share your opinion) ;-) Would
be interested in seeing what your review was, Charles...

I doubt that Mr. Wilber's writing is likely to bring about any  
reconciliation among those who are already divided on these issues. A look
at the readers' 
reviews on web pages of on-line booksellers reveals that  opinions of Mr. 
Wilber's scholarship, clarity and insight regarding science and  religion
fall 
into two strongly divided camps: those who think it's shallow  rubbish and
those 
who think it's brilliant (and yes, my review is one of the  most strident 
among the former). As close as I can tell from most  reader/reviewers, the 
divergence seems to be along the lines of science  backgrounds on one side
and 
non-science backgrounds on the other. That  doesn't seem much different from
what 
we already have.
