Book Reviews of Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design and the Easter Bunny

Book Review: Random thoughts?
Summary: 3 Stars

I have followed Dover trial very closely and have read couple of other books written on this subject, while mildly entertaining this book suffer from randomness, if you are interested in learning more about Dover trial or evolution I won't suggest this book, but if you want a quick and dirty over view of things with humors bits thrown in there this book might work out for you.

Summary of Flock of Dodos: Behind Modern Creationism, Intelligent Design and the Easter Bunny

What is creationism? Is it science, theology, both, neither? Who's behind it? What does it mean for Western Civilization? And why should you give a damn in the first place?

National Lampoon veteran Barrett Brown and Professor of Sociology Jon P. Alston, Ph.D, answer these questions - and perhaps one or two others -in a superbly unorthodox, serenely offensive and splendidly hilarious look at the forces behind the most talked-about pseudo-theory in modern history.

In Flock of Dodos, the reader will discover ominous parallels between Billy Joel's greaser anthem Uptown Girl and chief intelligent design proponent William Dembski, the wholly non-Christian origins of the United States, the goofy history of the creation science movement, secrets of a happy marriage to anti-feminist icon Phylis Schafly, stunning evidence that William Jennings Bryan might not have been all that bright, the the three interesting things that occurred in 2004, and the true nature of the millennia-old Conspiracy of Nonsense that threatens the very fiber of Western Civilization.
