Here is a passage written by an anti-evolution religious scholar, extracted from his review of a pro-evolution book:
And if evolution is not true about everything, then there is good reason to think that it is not true about anything.
- Stephen Webb – An Idiot’s Guide to Evolution
According to Webb, then, if the fact 1 + 1 = 2 is not true about everything, then there is good reason to think that it is not true about anything. What kind of logic is this?
The title of this particular An Idiot’s Guide… seems to suggest that this guide is by an idiot, rather than for idiots.
