Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It reads like a political diatribe. He manages to accuse 'evolutionists' of being Stalinists, Hitler supporters, and the cause of the Columbine massacre, while at the same time showing either his ignorance of what evolutionary theory actually has to say or his willingness to lie about it. In his first chapter he repeats the hoary old lie that evolution is all about randomness and chance. And the lie that Kettlewell glued moths to trees (has he never read a book written by a supporter of evolution to see what they actually say, or checked the Kettlewell story - if he'd read the book he quotes he would have discovered he was wrong?). He gets all excited about the fact that Haeckel's 1866 theory that ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny has long been rejected, and for some reason thinks that this proves evolution wrong (it doesn't). He makes the ludicrous claim that a "common theme of evolution" is "Monkeys and apes resemble humans so we must share a common ancestor." And he manages to accuse supporters of evolution as racists while at the same time complaining that primitive man is not depicted as blue-eyed, blond-haired anf fair skin (hardly a recipe for survival in Africa). If you want to read something whose main message is a political one, eg his statement "When we stand by and allow the truth to be perverted by politically-correct, God-hating socialists, we bear some responsibility for the poisoned fruits that ripen as we sat idle", this is the book for you. If you want to read something objective about evolution, avoid this book like the plague. And guess which one of the reviewers praising is apparently the author?
