    I was calling you out for being pretentious. For judging others' intelligence by the identifiable roles they present to you merely through the jobs they hold today. Are you saying they cannot hold a philosophical or political discussion with you merely because they are making you a burrito? Are they incapable of deep thoughts about evolution vs. creation? Do they have to have advanced degrees to gain entry to those conversations?

    What fucking cretins they are. They probably live in caves!

    I thought we were talking about science?

    Well, my work is done.

    With the help of Riptide, Dick has fallen into the trap I have set, and he has now been exposed as pretentious a-hole, for all the world to see.

    I honestly don't follow. The reason people don't grasp evolutionary biology isn't because they aren't smart. It's because they haven't made any kind of real study of it, formal or informal.

    This is a true statement.

    Do books like this make the topic interesting and approachable to the average person, or does it exploit them? Or maybe it's somewhere in the middle.
