Novels as science textbooks

Ohio IDNet's Roddy Bullock has written a novel:

If you ever wished for a fun way to learn about intelligent design, here it is . . . Written for readers of all ages, the updated second edition of The Cave Painting is particularly suitable for high school and college students desiring to understand the truth about evolution and intelligent design.

When scientists describe science, they write nonfiction. When creationists try to describe science, they write fiction. Unlike most of their material, at least this is properly labeled.

Bullock may be hoping to cash in on the Left Behind fans. The fundies have shown that they are willing to pay for really bad writing as long as it has the "proper" message.

The book is an allegory--the most powerful form of fiction. And half the book is non-fiction end notes. You (Josh) would like it. The others? They wouldn't get it. Seriously. They would be wasting their time. But you can try it on me. Send me an email and I'll send you a signed book for free. Priority mail.
