    Well, I'm certainly not going to go buy Stephen Hawkins "Evolution" because he's a cosmologist. Why would I want to buy a book about the universe written by a science-fiction author?

    The point is, you can't pass preconceptions and a witch hunt off as a book review.

    Ok, so I can't say that "Iraq didn't have WMDs" because I wasn't in Iraq?

    You can't say you are giving a review of something when you don't know the assertions or arguments at all.

    A review of the books credibility. Sure I can.

    This wasn't a review of the book. It was "look-I-found-this-guy-on-amazon-saying-something-bad-of-it-on-terms-of-a-particular-misquote"

    You dont like the direction you think the book is going in, and you dont like the people who like it, or their views. That's ok. But no objective review that holds any more argumentative power than a "Your Mother!" statement.

    (edit) I'm getting interested in the book now. Think I'll check it out.

    i find it most interesting that you use wikipedia as a foremost reference, and a respected one obviously in your opinion. i am not agreeing/disagreeing...simply pointing ou the fact that wikipedia is NOT the end-all, be-all for respected references...and evenso, especially in the scientific community, for every study well supported, there are STILL many others who disagree with findings, just how it all works.


    out of breath...as ever....well said. :)
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow
