About the author
M.E. Brines
47 books23 followersM.E. Brines spent the Cold War assembling atomic artillery shells and preparing to unleash the Apocalypse (and has a medal to prove it.) But when peace broke out, he turned his fevered, paranoid imagination to other pursuits. Designer of more than twenty sci-fi wargames and the Fantasy Nations play-by-e-mail game (all available below) he spends his spare time scribbling yet another steampunk romance occult adventure novel, which despite certain rumors absolutely DOES NOT involve time-traveling Nazi vampires! (Not this time, anyway.)

Notable remark on the scientific method; horseshit elsewhere
I do think there is some truth to the idea that the scientific method is sometimes just what university dwellers agree on. Mind you though, those geeks forget their shit perhaps more than we can ever know ours.
But the evidences for "evolution didn't really happen"? Not many to be found here. A single, fairly recent book by Dawkins would answer the author's anti-evolution propositions. It's annoying though that something like irreducible complexity is brought up when it's been answered by Dawkins and plenty others decades ago.
On the Divine Foot comment, I can summarize the reason for its similarly religious attitude. Scientific Theories are best made with as few assumptions as possible. The assumptions will be pretty restrictive--a good load of physics is only plausible if the theory of gravity works as stated, and ditto for biology and evolution.
The problem with the introduction of divinity is that it is too fluid; the idea of a being that can do everything they want can contradict everything and also nothing. For one, a God who loves making Plans would probably love designing something as intricate as evolution. Another plot twist is that all religions documented by humans are false and have only been presented as part of the Divine Plan. And the cats had been getting it right all along, with their rituals being those acts of scratching poop box walls, dipping paws in their drinks, and humping my arm--- I've obviously derailed myself, but the point is, if I'm saying my arguments are based on the Divine, then you can't disprove me much.
tl;dr: Science avoids un-falsifiable assumptions

Tells it like it is
it's about time someone told the truth about evolution. this is a condensed version of several books. to learn more, the reference books are listed.
