I posted a short while ago about the kind review Jeff VanderMeer has given to my books Discarded Science and Corrupted Science.
The site (it's the official Amazon book blog) has already been polluted by a religious zealot, who writes (http://www.omnivoracious.com/2008/04/what-do-you-fin.html):

It is one thing to take a scientifically skeptical attitude towards Creation Science (though in fairness one should apply the same standards to Evolution), it is quite another to engage it anti-Christian bigotry, as John Grant is accused of doing in several reviews.
Moreover, if Mr. Grant has championed, as he is accused of championing in those critical reviews, the leftwing lunatic fringe ravings about WMD's and al Qaeda in Iraq, the Nazi-like viewpoint on (no longer required because of recent breakthroughs in adult stem-cell research) embryonic stem-cell research, and the cult-like "science has reached a consensus" attitude regarding Global Warming skeptics,
then he is as bad as or worse than anyone he condemns.
In fact, about two of the 14 or so Amazon reviewers play the fundamentalist card. Of those two, one has very obviously not read the book. So this guy (I try to think of a kinder word) lies.
Yep. How would Jesus lie?
