Wait! People believe the Amazon reviews are real? Seriously??
When they’re not pretending to be scientists, they are pretending to be victims. It’s this type of shenanigans that drive people away from religion.
Sometimes the reviews at Amazon are quite hilarious.
I don’t pay any attention to or participate in their reviews. I saw one not long ago where an idiot gave an outstanding, classic CD a one star rating because the moron thought that he/she was ordering the sheet music for a song that was on the CD and ordered the CD by mistake instead. Duh? Had to be an “unaccompanied” Obama voter.
um - according to my Amazon page - it has 399 5 star reviews - there are two listings of the book - one with only a few reviews total - but the first listing has 399 FIVE STARS - overwhelmingly the majority of reviews.
You may be doing AMAZON an injustice, Truthfinder9?
Reviews are also removed when they are reported as being written, provably, from the same IP address (if it looks like someone is logging in with fake accounts and writing fake positive or fake negative reviews) or from family members or others who may stand to benefit from the book (either by eliminating it from competition by writing negative reviews, or by boosting sales by writing shill reviews). It’s actually common for books ( I am not referring specifically to this one) to receive fake positive ratings (often purchased on Fivrr) as a part of a marketing plan so there is a chance that Amazon removed reviews believing (correctly or not) that they were incentivized reviews in some way. It is sometimes possible to contest review removals and get the reviews re-instated. We’ll see. I am not aware of review removal based soley on controversial content - not saying it doesn’t happen but am saying that review removals I’ve seen have always been due to claims of financial interest, multiple sock accounts, family members, or author rivals trashing each others books with fake negatives.

Amazon deletes fake reviews when they find them.
The owner of the book got busted.

This is a great book, is well researched and highly persuasive. Myers asks: where does the information in DNA come from?
If you take the time to read it, your views of neo Darwinism will change forever. The last three chapters outline seven new theories begin proposed to explain origins since neo Darwinism is so weak.
