These books will shake your life up! You will look at everything different. ONly beef I have with Ms. Rand is that she failed to recognize that she herself made an arguement for Creation.
It was when Eddie was coming back from Cali and the train broke. He didn't want to leave it so he tried to fix it. It was too complex.
Ms. Rand was trying to disprove the notion that creators of things such as automobiles were just a natural sign of mans "Tool making instinct" so lazy people could just say the creators weren't special, since after all it was just an instinct that made them create an airplane.
Back to the story: Eddie tries with all his might to make the train work again, he pulled levers pushed buttons ripped wires out and he finally realized it wasn't an instinct but an act of true genius that made this train, because instinct could not have created this train as a natural extension of mans "handiness"
I know long winded. but that whole ordeal really made an arguement for creation, because after all, man is a complex being with too many things to just have come together by "instinct" or "accident". Think about it for awhile, I did.
Anyway, Rand is THE best author and the most intelligent person to grace this earth. She will be celebrated soon enough. Been going over and over the book Philosophy: Who needs it? and I love it.
