...but I couldn't resist this one by
George Gilder, whom Rabbi Klinghoffer describes as "a techno-utopian economist and New York Times bestselling author," who says about
Darwin's Doubt:
I spend my life reading science books. I've read many hundreds of them over the years, and in my judgment Darwin's Doubt is the best science book ever written. It is a magnificent work, a true masterpiece that will be read for hundreds of years.
I'll try to read my pre-ordered copy early and let you know if I agree with Mr. Gilder.
UPDATE: Doh! It turns out Mr. Gilder is co-founder of the Discovery Institute. Dang. Oh well, it's only $16.95, and I'm supposed to be an ID advocate, anyway.
I bet you'll believe every word you dumb conspiracy kook.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon,
ReplyDeleteI suspect that Meyer will present facts that are pretty much accepted in mainstream science. I also suspect that he will offer explanations for those facts that are pretty much rejected in mainstream science. Will I accept his explanations? Not with Mike Gene looking over my shoulder, I won't.
What I'm really curious about is how close to the truth will be the claim that this is the best science book ever written.
