    Allen also wrote "The hard core evolutionists I've debated from 1993 and
    on, including
    those on Talk.Orig, either agreed the book stunk or simply distanced

    themselves.
    Kitcher abused his own reputation with that book."

    I see Sarah has more than adequately replied to this one. At a distance
    of 15 years, I won't defend Kitcher or his book; suffice it to say that
    book led me into reading a great many others on the subject, all of which
    made the ICR claims look sillier and sillier as I studied. Books by Ruse
    and Gould, both of whom I immensely admire now, were particularly
    persuasive.
