My respect for Ann has been fading rapidly as I learn more of the book's content.

In other words, you're not reading it. You're hearing about it. That's no way to form an independent opinion.

If what others have to say were not useful in deciding whether to read a book, there would be no book reviews.

I think commentaries like the following one, which reveal Ann to have fallen short on matters of accuracy, are very useful in forming an independent opinion.

I've also heard Ann describe her book on multiple occasions. That's helping me form an opinion, and it's going downhill.

Liberals can drive me up a wall, but the fact remains that lots of them aren't Godless. In a recent survey by the Pew Center, almost 30% described themselves as creationists. I have also pointed out before that specific subsets of the left are extremely hostile to Darwinian thinking, most notably feminists. Another fact against her thesis.

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw what Ann is alleged to have written about biologists. "Barely scientists anymore"? If that is what she wrote, she has gone too far--AGAIN.
