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.
Why is it in English?
- Well Britain did a little colonizing in that area of the world.
  
  I find that hard to believe. The british are nice people who respect other nations and have never stolen a chunk of ireland with murdering.
My favorite thing about the "even humans can't make life" argument is that when you point out that we have actually made the kind of rudimentary precursors to life in laboratories, they just say "see? It needs an intelligent mind to make it!"
humans can't reproduce something, must be fake
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.
Are we just ignoring that this is an obvious Photoshop?
- It's not obvious to me.
  
  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.
