Fanaticism edging on insanity

I don't like arguing ad hominem but the arguments of these people are so ridiculously narrow sighted that it's hard to ignore the deeply personal naivety, stupidity and fanaticism that underlies them. Honestly, it's not that I listened to this audiobook just to criticise or make fun of someone, I'm rather indeed genuinely interested in hypotheses uniting the concept of a creator entity with the physical evidence that science provides. That being said, what's presented here does not lead anywhere.

The only sane, scientifically based views are those presented by Meyer (who's name isn't even written correctly on the cover image of this audiobook btw), and these are published elsewhere in much more detail. Ken Ham is an angry fanaticist who's best arguments are all seriously based on a literal interpretation of the whole bible. He repeatedly criticises the other contributors (who aren't extremist enough for his taste) by furiously asking: "Where's your commitment to the scripture?!" That's the kind of quality you get here; and I think that says it all. He doesn't even shy away from condemning differently minded people to hell - I mean: come on, why give such a guy a platform? Just leave him to join the angry white guys in Facebook comments.
Ross is intellectually pretty much the same level, just without the apparent anger.
Haarsma follows a more balanced approach that nonetheless also fanatically overemphasises the literal value of the Bible and is thereby probably even the most self-contradictory of the four views presented here.
Three of these are utterly worthless. Their approaches are doomed to fail from the start, and this book is just shocking, presumably as informative as flat earthler publications. I don't think it does Meyer's position any good to be associated with this nonsense.

I'm definitely going to return this audiobook.
