Not worth it

Written from a pedestal. Author assumes our thoughts and intellect is low.

Two Thumbs Down

My discussion group was reading this book and decided to drop it after about 50 pages. I kept on but couldn't get past page 67. Knew I'd had enough when he claimed, falsely, that only 25% of Americans believe in evolution. I hoped for a conversation about spirituality without "religion," not to be schooled about the unscientific idea of a soul. There is a big difference between science and faith. I'm afraid the writer has some kind of grudge he's trying to settle.
