Darwin admitted that if an irreducibly complex form of life was found, then his Theory of Evolution would be proven to be a failure. Richard Dawkins agreed, although he lifted the bar that Darwin had set. Perhaps Dawkins was trying to keep his life’s work of promoting the still unproven theory of evolution alive.  Today Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has remained unproven and increasingly dubious because over the 175 years since his Theory was announced it has not only remained unproven but because with every new scientific discovery the Theory becomes more and more implausible. Had Professor Behe found the Evolution killing irreducibly complex life form that would bring Darwin’s macro-evolution (the explanation for the creation of new species) down. Reluctantly leading atheist and agnostic scientists, James Shapiro, Cavalier-Smith and Stephen Jay Gould seem, reluctantly, to be on the brink of having to agree with him. They certainly don’t disagree with him. Here’s why.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
