Here's a Punch in Behe's Eye

Not an eye, but a modified image of augen gneiss, a metamorphic rock, named, for obvious reasons, from the German for eye.
toomanytribbles tagged me, so, being obedient to commandments (when I so choose), here's my response:
“Darwin’s fulsomely free confession turned out to be a rhetorical device. He was drawing his opponents toward him so that his punch, when it came, struck the harder. The punch, of course, was Darwin’s effortless explanation of exactly how the eye evolved by gradual degrees.”

Your task is to guess which book lay closest at hand when I read the tag instructions. The prize for guessing correctly is to read Planet Atheism gratis.

I'm tagging random bloggers who have not posted as of the latest blogroll – forgive me if you have been tagged recently, I have not had much time to read blogs lately. If you have recently been tagged, feel free to bounce this on.

A Whore in the Temple of Reason, Am I mad, or is the world?, Atheist Hussy, Black Sun Journal, The Thermal Vent

the rules are to:

1. reach for the nearest book
2. turn to page 123
3. skip the first 5 sentences
4. post the next 3 sentences
5. tag 5 more victims highly respected bloggers.

Much easier than having to confess weird things about oneself or describe early memories!
