"if you get fundamentalists slamming you, it means you're doing something right!"
Friends keep telling me this, and of course it's true. At the same time, though, it's so depressing to keep running smack into the forces of unreason the whole time. I mean, this guy hasn't read and clearly has no intention of reading the books, yet he's made up his mind in detail about their contents based on a couple of reviews clearly written with an ideological agenda in mind. He goes straight past a fair number of other reviews, which say something entirely different.
Is it any wonder that someone so doggedly intent on maintaining his own ignorance thinks that things like the lack of WMDs in Iraq are "leftwing lunatic fringe ravings", that concern about global warming is just a great big conspiracy, that the Darwinian mechanism of Evolution has not been subjected to scientific testing for well over a century, or that Creationist mythology and Darwinian Evolution are somehow equally balanced counterparts?
