Scientists will not find God unless they think outside the box, as Collins has done. Faith and miracles, so central to Christian thought, are anathema to the scientific method, as Dawkins reaffirms.

One of its active ingredients is pseudoephedrine, widely used in backyard labs to make methamphetamine. Several states had already ordered pseudoephedrine off pharmacy shelves, but in October the Federal Government expanded those rules and put them into effect across the country.

Two years ago, when Meredith's lawyer, Teddy Gordon, ran for the school board, promising a return to neighborhood schools, he came in--as guideline advocates like to point out-- dead last. "I don't care if my children go to school on the moon as long as they are getting a good education," says Ronald Thomas, who lives downtown and sends his three children to school on a half-hour bus ride...
