The graphical stuff in movies that shows the devastation in epic proportions might instil a fear rather than an interest and more over … Continue reading Into The Storm with my 7 year old

In other sense, for those who want to get an answer, they can get it in 140 characters, for those who are looking to object everything Dawkins’s says, they will be unconvinced even after a day long lecture.
