Yeah - that was a watershed book that presented a lot of original research that finally put an end to the evolution 'debate'.
Most importantly however, was the fact that it pissed off a lot of lefties.
Nope. That is a book that you happen to agree with. It is making assumptions and statements that are declarations of faith not of fact. The correct Scientific answer is "We don't know". It is interesting that the proponents of the Church of Science are so dogmatic in pronouncing anathema on anyone who does not blindly worship at their shrine. Seems once again the Dogmatic Leftist are projecting their own emotional and intellectual shortcoming onto their ideological foes.
