DaveScot's "review" is up Quote | Except for mine there are no reviews that are not 5 star or 1 star. Everyone evidently thinks the book is pure genius or utter trash. How unlikely. Also note there is a veritable flood of 1 star reviews that were posted on 20 December, 2007. What's up with that? Did George W. Bush declare December 20th as a national "Read Dembski and Review It On Amazon Day" or something? Again, a blatant indication of Amazon ratings being gamed.
I'll say this much about the book itself - any book with such a high sales rank at Amazon (currently around 2,000) that causes this much polarization in the reviews must be worth reading just to see for yourself what's in it that's causing so much controversy. |
Odd how he fails to mention their own attempt to "game the system" by asking readers to vote up accurate reviews (nudge nudge). So Quote | Except for mine there are no reviews that are not 5 star or 1 star. |
Round of applause for DS! There's a good boy, good boy! Quote | Everyone evidently thinks the book is pure genius or utter trash. |
No, the vast majority of people who have expressed an opinion have said utter trash. The vast majority of the people who expressed a positive opinion are shills, or are otherwise affiliated with the publisher or the group behind the book. Is that "unlikely" in the CSI requires 500 information bits, lifetime of the universe yada yada blah sense? Or "unlikely" as in the "we tried it and it backfired, so we're going to pretend that never happened and concentrate on PZ instead"? Quote | Also note there is a veritable flood of 1 star reviews that were posted on 20 December, 2007. |
Why don't you just come out and say it you coward. People reading that review will either know what you are alluding to or not. If not, how will they know what you are talking about DS? That's your target audience right there! Missing a trick DS. Also, DS, note the veritable flood of 5 star reviews before it was possible that many people even had the book. Odd how all who had it early liked it so very much. Quote | What's up with that? |
Perhaps another "just so story", like about how ID explains whale evolution in detail. Quote | Did George W. Bush declare December 20th as a national "Read Dembski and Review It On Amazon Day" or something? |
Perhaps he did. Or perhaps there was a reaction to your original attempt to game the system and unluckily for you it appears ID proponents are outnumbered many thousands to one. 1,385 of 1,569 people found this negative review useful. So next time think about how badly you are outnumbered DS. Think about why that is. Quote | Again, a blatant indication of Amazon ratings being gamed. |
No, it's a blatant indication of your dishonestly. If the ratings had been going the way you wanted originally, as requested by O'Leary Quote | O'Leary: But if you think that the information service that Bill Dembski has provided you here for years - out of his own resources - is worthwhile, go to Amazon and vote up the reviews that sound like the person has actually READ the book. Vote the others down.
| Then would you be still complaining like the 10 year old you really are? I doubt it. It would have been a victory of the ordinary person over the darwinist scientists in their ivory towers. Except it didn't quite work out like that eh DS? Lastly Quote | I'll say this much about the book itself - any book with such a high sales rank at Amazon (currently around 2,000) that causes this much polarization in the reviews must be worth reading just to see for yourself what's in it that's causing so much controversy. |
