- "[Darwin's Doubt] is destined to be one of the most discussed, most important, most revelatory books of the year." - Michael Medved, national talk radio host and author
- This book-and his body of work-challenges scientism with real science and excites in me the hope that the origins-of-life debate will soon be largely free of the ideology that has long colored it . . . a wonderful, most compelling read." -- Dean Koontz New York Times bestselling author
