Reply #7: Sounds like another book which should not be necessary

[moggie]

The cover blurb on Jerry Coyne's excellent Why Evolution is True begins with the words "this book should not be necessary". We don't need an entire book setting out the evidence for heliocentrism, because there aren't hordes of organised nitwits claiming that the Earth is the centre of everything and attempting to sabotage the teaching of astronomy. It's the 21st century, and we've put that shit behind us. It's about time the same happened with the evolution-deniers.
