Saying that Darwin was wrong was an "attack on their readers"? Is suppose for some readers who take their theories just a little too personally...

Exactly. There is another agenda at work here, and it is not so much scientific as it is political or even religious. Richard Dawkins gave the game away when he said that evolution makes atheism intellectually respectable. Dawkins and his ilk see science -- and evolutionary science in particular -- as a weapon to use against religion. In so doing, they commit the logical fallacy of begging the question (or circular reasoning).

Nope, you probably misunderstood their title as I did--which is what they wanted to happen. The cover says "Was Darwin Wrong?" Then you open to the article and it says "NO" and then proceeds for many pages in a fairly condescending and mocking tone to shred anyone who might just happen to believe that something besides random chance was involved in our creation. I think you can go to their site and read it for yourself and form your own opinion.
