Hi, Evolution Crusher.
The write up didn't really impress me enough to want to spend my money on it, no matter how cheap it is. Maybe if I see it sold used I'll spring for it. I bet that most if not all of Sutcliff's claims are taken care of on TalkOrigin's PRATT list. But why don't you take what you think to be Sutcliff's best argument and start a thread on it? The discussion might be instructive for all concerned.

The page to which I linked is a list of the common arguments used to try to refute the theory of evolution. Most of those arguments are attempts to use science and mathematics to refute the theory of evolution. Sorry if you're not interested in looking at that page very closely -- probably similar to how I feel about looking into Sutcliff's book.
People come in here all the time claiming that they (or their favorite author) has disproven the theory of evolution once and for all. So far, they have all failed. I just don't have enough time to read every single book that someone suggests. They have to convince me that it is worth my while. So far, I see nothing that suggests that Sutcliff isn't just repeating the same tired old arguments that everyone has already seen before.
Like PaulK, I would like to see whether Sutcliff really does have a good argument. I doubt it, but that is where you can make a difference. Start a thread on what you think is Sutcliff's best argument.

And sources for the reviews!
I saw that, too, subbie. Check out the sources for reviews, too. Mostly rabid anti-leftists, heh.

Are you familiar with the history of evolution after the publication of Origin of The Species? Most people are not.
What a coincidence. I've just finished reading a very good book that devoted a lot of space to the history of evolutionary thought. S.J. Gould's essays are another good source for the history of evolutionary science.
What would you like to know?

Re: evo crusher = evo fraud
Now, now, Zhimbo. After choosing a name like Evolution Crusher, I'm sure that EC is right now writing an OP that is going to thoroughly crush the theory of evolution.
By the way, nice to have you back.
