Don't even pretend you have read it. It is a good book, and it is good science.

Science doesn't agree..lol. Which is why it is a text on apologetics, published by a group that promotes apologetics.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well I wouldn't call it a mating call like we see in animals, but sure ballads are usually meant to invoke some swooning.

Yeah, you wouldn't call anything that exposes your bullshit for what it is what the rest of us call it, so I'm not sure why that should matter to anyone?

Circular argument. You can't say something is not science because science told you so. Many scientists do like his book, and the reviewers at the Smithsonian respected his work enough to publish it.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
-- Homer Simpson

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.
-- Superintendent Chalmers

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
-- Ned Flanders

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

You know as time passes by you make less and less logical sense, maybe you should get that looked at. :-)

RE: Calculus, Logic, Music and the Human Brain
Yeah, actually I can. When someones work is picked over and determined to be bullshit by science at large, I get to say exactly that. In fact....thats exactly how the process works. You don't like it, and so you call apologetics science, but again, bullshit, and I don't know why anyone should care.

It's determined by evidence. In this case, the evidence says bullshit, next?
