From PM's linky in the reviews of the book, something I found humorous:
The main problem with FSM and this book is a lack of understanding regarding intelligent design. Intelligent design makes NO claims regarding the nature of the designer period, whether it be God, a human, or FSM. All ID does is establish critera by which it is reasonable to conclude that a particular object (whether biological or non-biological) has been designed by some intelligence or not. It goes no further. So, the criticism utilizing the FSM misses the mark completely. Why? Because it says nothing about ID itself. If someone wants to criticize ID, then they need to look at the criteria used to determine whether something is designed intelligently or not and present arguments why this criteria does not work. The FSM parody says nothing about this. - C. Walker
In my opinion, the FSM parody says a whole lot about it. The reviewer also forgot aliens. Just thought I'd mention that.
