Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de

I really wanted to like this book. But it was so out there I couldn't even force myself to pick it up most days. Calling it pseudoscience would be giving it too much credit.

Mary O. Daly: Creator and Creation (Paperback, Ye Hedge School)

Neither Darwinian nor Creationist, this discussion of the concepts related to creation ranges from the …

In the 1920s, a biology teacher named John Scopes was arraigned in court for teaching evolution. ... He was teaching the evolution of the white man from his animal ancestors through five racial steps. He was teaching that the Negro was the lowest of the transitional species from apes or monkeys to man and if we were to marry Negroes, we would cause the race to slip back (devolve) towards its animal ancestry. That was the airy and conceited theory of the eugenic evolutionists of the time. Again and again this trial has been presented as the fight between the light of science and the darkness of religious superstition. It was racism against Christianity.
