Letter: Science vs religion

Sir: I am amazed at the reaction that Richard Dawkins has received (letters, 11 February). An engineer claims that e-mail sounds as "barking mad" as religion. It may, but e-mail works and can be shown to work. Areas of science may sound mad, but they can be shown to be true. Now, if we could have a demonstration of transubstan-tiation or reincarnation, we'd be getting somewhere.
