"I was prepared to really hate Coulter's discussion of evolution--didn't even read it for weeks after I'd finished the rest of the book--but actually, it's quite interesting. I wondered how a biologist on the other team would respond. Now I see: He responds with the same malice he criticizes in Coulter herself, without once responding to her argument."

Coyne made the mistake of trying to respond to Coulter in kind. Her attack on evolution was rife with strawman creation and logical fallacies such as poisoning the well, she did not once address any valid scientific argument. She really had no arguments to respond to in a scientific manner that haven't been dealt with many times.

She really had no arguments to respond to in a scientific manner that haven't been dealt with many times.

Since they are evidently so easy to address, it's a tad odd that he didn't address them, isn't it?
