I'll start off by saying that I like Linde's writing style, in particular I like his seamless segue from an easy explanation into a challenge to explore further:

One could always respond that God created the universe and made it simple enough so that we can comprehend it. This would match the words about a miracle and an undeserved gift. But shall we give up so easily?

In addition I thought that Myhrvold's post was pretty fantastic. I also liked Stewart Brand. Iacoboni is good as well. That's out of the quarter of them I read.
