    With a few tweaks, that book is ready for Texas and Florida.

      Just find and replace the name “Allah” with “God” and nobody would notice.

    Feels the author knew he was writing bullshit and tried to actually sneak the truth in, in a way that’s undetectable to the extremists vetting the thing.

    Oh, look; it’s more conflating of evolution with abiogenesis, alongside complete shortsightedness about the scales of space and time involved.

        The chapter is titled “evolution” and the fact that we’re on figure 24.16 leads me to believe there are at least fifteen other images in this chapter. If that’s the case, it seems unlikely this section would be so far back in the chapter.

        The section above literally talks about the results of natural selection on speciation.

        When comparing content between the two sections, the top had lots of scientific vocabulary and creates valid points. The below section has multiple misspelled words and bad grammar. Tonally, very different.

        Most obviously, the line spacing in this section is about half what it is in the above section.

          Idk… In Turkey natural selection and speciation are in the curriculum but as far as I can tell it’s forbidden to mention evolution. Doesn’t seem like a large jump of logic to include a “btw evolution is wrong” section.

          Also the line spacing on the right page seems closer to the bottom section.

    I like that apricots and figs are clearly appreciated as higher forms of life than starfish and hawks.

    This was hard to read for many reasons, including the run-on sentences and poor grammar. My favorite parts, however, were probably these excerpts:

    • “cannot be the result of chance vents”
    • “Primal soup”
    • “Loins”

    My favorite part is that the first paragraph presents an example of evolution, and then the second paragraph said “evolution is bullshit.” They probably took a preexisting evolution-believing textbook and squeezed in a paragraph here and there, but they can’t keep the book self-consistent.

    A classic case of proof by contradiction.
