Reed Cartwright led off with an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pandasthumb.org\/archives\/2006\/08\/the_politically_1.html\">introduction<\/a>, which will add a table of contents linking to each of the chapter critiques as they are posted to PT. Burt Humburg followed with his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pandasthumb.org\/archives\/2006\/08\/the_politically.html\">critique of Chapter 1<\/a>, taking Wells&#8217;s to task on his vague and inconsistent use of words, and persistent refusal to say what, exactly, <i>intelligent design<\/i> is. PZ Myers weighs in with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pandasthumb.org\/archives\/2006\/08\/the_politically_3.html\">critique of Chapter 3<\/a>, wherein he reveals various quotemining by Wells and convenient overlooking of the facts of embryology.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the rest of the chapter critiques will follow over the next two to three weeks. Be sure to tune in. Alan Gishlick and I are working on Chapter 2, and perhaps Mike Dunford will join us after he polishes off two other chapters himself. Mark Perakh already has a <a href=\"http:\/\/talkreason.org\/articles\/ugly.cfm\">critique up<\/a> at TalkReason concerning Wells&#8217;s perverse misuse of the Lysenko affair in the Soviet Union.
