I knew nothing about James Hogan before I read The Minervan Experiment, and now having done a little research on him the book makes more sense. I enjoyed the book and especially the "hard" science in it, but I think he should probably have stopped with the second book...the third one got pretty ridiculous at the end, with the whole human/Vulcan/Borg (Earthmen/Ganymean/Jevlenese) confrontation and time loop silliness. But as I read it I couldn't help wonder if Hogan was subtly sending a message about intelligent design or "stealth creationism." His extremely intelligent evolution-character tended to be closeminded and stubborn, the only character like that. And it always turned out that any settled evolutionary theory of species-origin had been created, engineered, or manipulated by advanced or intelligent alien civilizations. So hardly any "mutation" explanations ever worked. That said, the books continually disparaged religious beliefs (though when any specific religions were named, Christianity was conspicuously absent).

But then I read some about Hogan and looked at his webpage and "heretics' list" of recommended books, and it makes more sense. Though he is not a creationist, he has major problems with the "settled" science of evolution (and global warming, for that matter). He's an oddball, but very intelligent. And as both a Christian and a creationist who fully supports the concepts of adaptation and natural selection (surprise, most of us do), I was amused at the extensive support for evolutionary theory that always came back to...a higher power.
