Debunking critical thinking.
This is a difficult one to review really as the title isn't what one would think the content to be.
If like myself, you like to look at both sides of a discussion to form an opinion based on critical thinking then this book falls firmly on the side of Christian creationist doctrine. That's absolutely fine however, I was expecting a little humour based debate on the bible from the perspective of those big bang theorists, as the title would suggest.
The true title should read something like this...
"Debunking the none Christians views on the Bible by cherry picking the narrative".
The author goes to great lengths to point out the various groups who cherry pick their arguments by doing exactly the same and, much like his opposition, uses questionable interpretation of language to support his side of the argument.
Worth reading? Possibly. I do feel more could be gained by watching Monty Pythons life of Brian because, its as historically accurate as 'some' chapters of the good book which, in the authors words, were written one thousand years after the events portrayed.
I'm not a Darwinian big bang believer because, in my experience, nothing good comes from an explosion and, like religion, there isn't any scientific evidence to support either theory, one way or another. Both are human constructs because some people need something to believe in and others as a means of control.
I don't have the answers but personally, I believe if we are excellent to each other we'll move on to somewhere much more pleasant, if we plot world domination in a Klaus Schwabe style evolution of humankind, then there's a special kind of place for you mentioned in the bible. Earth!

Contrived babble
Would you try another book written by Robert J. Hutchinson or narrated by Tom Weiner?
unlikely
What could Robert J. Hutchinson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Cut out all the misinformation, back up claims with actual facts, cut out petty personal smears on other people with different opinions,
Would you be willing to try another one of Tom Weiner’s performances?
His pretend voices were irritating but on the whole OK
What character would you cut from The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Bible?
N/A
Any additional comments?
Opinions are all very well, as are assertions but unless they're backed up with fact and constructed in valid logic they don't carry any weight. The "I know because I know because I know because I know" approach isn't very intelligent
