Interesting piece here http://parabook.wordpress.com/2010/01/03/five-mysteries-of-the-universe/

Anyone got any thoughts?

Yup.

That great exponent of evolution Richard Dawkins is apparently unable to explain how come there is only a single instance of a feather being evolved.

Scientists who believe in the Big Bang theory (not all do) are unable to say in which direction - even roughly - the centre of our universe might be located.

For many years there have been sophisicated methods of detecting life even in distant galaxies using polarised light analysis. In spite of that no trace of life as we know it as ever been found. If life does exist anywhere but on Earth it is certainly much, much less common than current scientific knowledge has led us to believe.

One thing scientists can and do agree on is that "reality" is not fixed but is different for every observer. Try that one on your bank manager next time he complains about your overdraft!
