Steve in his blurb claimsLook up The Dark Side of Power, the story of Armand Hammer and you find that it was written by Carl Blumay, but Steve claims to be Stephen T.

So A: Steve's last name is different then his father, B: one of then misspelled their name for their book credit, C; the claim is wrong they are related (possibly counts as fraud and given the text about dear daddy blume libel too). Does bring up the question if the name Stephen T. Blume is just assumed however.Blume's dad was an author. He wrote The Dark Side of Power, the story of Armand Hammer and Occidental Petroleum, published by Simon & Schuster.
Out of the tiny number of people likely to ever buy the book, are any actually likely to check his genealogy, or to care much about it?
What's amusing is that a layer of obfuscation often appears with Blume's history yet he's desperately wanting to be recognized as the greatest scientific thinker of all time.
Example of obfuscation (paraphrase), "Enough classes to have earned a Masters in biological sciences"
Example of wanting to be recognized as the greatest scientific thinker, His book "Evo-illusion tells a fascinating story of biology, astronomy, physics, particle physics, and other sciences."
He's Einstein, Darwin, Hawking, Dawkins, all rolled into one.
