Actually, it probably belongs in the philosophy forum, where we can discuss the merits of utterly believing something when sufficient proof is lacking - combined with the arrogance and disdain [for other perspectives] which one always find associated with such beliefs. We'd have to rename the thread 'bigotry', or something similar.
None of the discussion here has been about the book itself. It's been about people such as yourself mocking and disregarding a perspective/work when you know fuck all about it. Appeals to authority/consensus abound, but they alone do not suffice to close this matter.
