   "Author Mike Gene infected the religion and science forums for months to promote this book. However, after many attempts by several forum participants to get any information that might bolster his claims (or motivate us to purchase the book) Mike dodged every question. One might guess that those positive Amazon reviews are from the author and his friends."

   Here's the infection where I dodge every question from the participants. Enjoy.

   Enjoy? It's like listening to a dripping faucet. Amazing how critics behave as if they know all the answers and then impute arrogance to their opponents.

   Darwin as a Playboy Bunny is disturbing on soooo many levels!

   Hi kornbelt888,

   Those people are genuinely stupid. Fear not.

   I think it is a classic illustration of the how prejudice naturally flows from group-think and an addiction to malicious stereotypes. For example, it is clear Stephen Marley has judged and condemned a book he has never read.

   Nothing of any import was said by those clowns, except, perhaps the infinite regress "argument", which is important only because it may seem important to some initially but it actually isn't. I guess some people think we must be the only beings to ever have acquired foresight. Or that all instances of intelligence preceding us in any regressive chain must have come about the same way we did. Many of those same people seem to be happy to believe all sorts of imaginative things if they are consistent with a-telic materialism.

   Not all buzzing flies deserve to be seriously engaged at length. Sometimes you just have to swat them and attend to move important matters.

   Hi kornbelt888,

   Well, I made a good-faith effort, but yes, it probably was not the best use of my time. As for infinite regresses, while they may be significant from a metaphysical viewpoint, as the DM demonstrates, it is not an essential component of an investigation.

   This seems relevant. Mike could accurately be called slightly less than "moderately confident" in his views, while this bunch of critics seem to accurately fit the "very confident" category.

   Isn't it wonderful how science is revealing how unscientific the critics are?

    Pardon the interruption, but whatever happened to that "soft-wired" genome essay Mike Gene promised? Did I miss it?

    I like that techno-geek talk, soft-wired and all that.

    No pressure. LOL

    Mike, I finally started writing a book review. I think you need to give critics like Marley a little more to go on, if you want them to buy your book.
