Yes, Bob, I find the selectivity of your memory quite remarkable. The book's
full title is Science Held Hostage: What's Wrong with Creation Science AND
Evolutionism. Please note the last word in the subtitle; it seems to have
slipped your memory. The book has nine chapters. Three of them are highly
critical of vocal preachers of maximal naturalism (which includes
evolutionism). I wrote two of those chapters.
Following is a list of those chapters and other examples of my critiques of
maximal naturalism.
