Virgin Birth Question Answered by Philip Ball

Virgin Birth Question Answered by Philip Ball

Last week upon viewing the Pew Report concerning Sharks and "virgin births" i.e. parthenogenesis, my curiosity was stirred enough to ask a question and to contact a respected science writer who is known to be balanced and yet fair when dealing with subjects that tread into religious interest territories. Philip Ball is that man and I encourage you to visit his Homunculus Blog which I have followed for years.

Science and theology should remain separate matters, Philip Ball has done everyone a favor by taking this matter up prior to the release of his next book that he is working upon. That book, Unnatural: The History of the Heretical Idea of Making People, will be published by Bodley Head some time next year.
