Evolution: Fact or Fiction?

I want to give this thing a proper, detailed review. But unlike anything I've ever read, it actually gives me the sensation of my skin crawling when I read it. I feel on edge and like I want to fidget and scream. It's so wrong, on so many levels - all at the same time. The author should be euthanised, partly for his utter stupidity and blindness, partly for his willful misrepresentation of the facts and partly just as a service to humanity. If I decided to list the individual issues I have with it, I'd run foul of the max characters limit on posts here, and I'd probably start crying or breaking things.

I will try to give it a critique one day soon, but I need to put it away for a while to forget how truly bad it is.

I hope you didn't actually pay money to get a copy. People will pay to hear what they want to hear, but why would you pay to hear what you don't want to hear.

FUCK NO! Some stupid street preacher group near where I work has them on a stand. I asked if it was free and was given a copy. The woman asked me if I'd thought of letting Jesus into my life, and said "we're all sinners, I've sinned more than anyone". She looked weird, broken and ghostlike... so I just said, "No, but thanks for the book" and scarpered.

I just sent a review, but I expect they will disallow it because I left in the bit about the author needing euthanasia. :hehe:

Well it's 50/50 either way, I just can't decide
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Another liar for doctrine indulging in pontifications characterised by turgid drivel and asinine canards about something he or she doesn't understand? In other news, water is wet.

It’s neither a fact or fiction the silly cunts. :flog:
“I wish no harm to any human being, but I, as one man, am going to exercise my freedom of speech. No human being on the face of the earth, no government is going to take from me my right to speak, my right to protest against wrong, my right to do everything that is for the benefit of mankind. I am not here, then, as the accused; I am here as the accuser of capitalism dripping with blood from head to foot.”

John Maclean (Scottish socialist) speech from the Dock 1918.
